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/

Women should have radically different education path than men (lemmy.world)

The main problem of most developed societies is horribly low fertility rates. Lot of women pick very long education path and then career thinking about having children only in their mid 30s... When their fertility is mostly gone.

I think education system for women should be tailored towards different things than men. Teenage girls should have better knowledge of psychology (especially child psychology) health, childcare ect. so they are well prepared to build strong stable relationships and start families when they're actually fertile. I'm not talking here about giving up on career of course, it's a personal choice, but I wish the education was complementary for both genders (so couples benefit from different specializations of each other) rather than uniform.

since women can have children, their opportunities are bigger

Oh yea because we can all see this has historically been the case thus far lmao

and they were lying. I'm not

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.
