Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Different profile of education doesn't mean worse. Just different. I don't know where "slavery" interpretation comes from.
I can't tell if you're trolling me here. That's literally how whites sold the idea of segregation. And the word "different" in that context is what I was saying about opportunity. When you provide different education to different demographics of people, the levels of opportunity are vastly different for each group. You're idea of curating a young girl's education to prepare her for having babies does exactly that.
I'm not tolling.
And they were lying. I'm not.
Since women can have children, their opportunities are bigger than opportunities of man. Building a family and childcare is an opportunity. Different one than professional career, but it isn't worse in any way. Many people feel lonely and want a child after decades of work, except the biological clock is ticking unequally faster for women, and it might be too late for some. Somehow you people treat children like an unnecessary burden. This is wrong on so many levels. Promoting and educating women in that direction isn't a disservice - it opens completely new path... And benefits whole society in current context.
Oh yea because we can all see this has historically been the case thus far lmao
No one has to worry about if you're lying. They have to worry about all of the future people who would likely be men that would continue to enforce this.
I'm sure you have the best intentions here, but it doesn't matter what your intentions are if you set up something that can easily be abused by countless of other people. On the surface, a literacy test may sound like a good idea for voters, but eventually someone is going to realize that if they put certain demographics of people into a "separate but equal" system of education, then they can control which demographics have more voting power.
What you're describing is not far off from what has been experienced in the very near past.
Different tracks for different sorts of people, but ultimately similar in outcomes. Separate but equal, right?
