>Feminists aren't looking to push women into dangerous jobs. Men tend to choose dangerous jobs. If they don't want a dangerous job, choose a less dangerous one!
Isn't this analogous to: "Women choose lower paid jobs. If you want a equally well paid job, choose a higher paid career!"
Furthermore, I think it's not coherent to want "equality" without all the disadvantages. There's this polemic picture (which I can't find right now) saying: "For equality working in an air conditioned room with a good pay, against equality working dirty jobs with a bad pay."
And I thought this was bullshit.
Why are there so many campaigns and feminists claiming that the lack of girls in science is misogynic, because of the atmosphere of a "boy's club", which doesn't welcome women. But at the same time I've never heard the same complaint about the dirty and dangerous jobs. Nobody is claiming it's just a boy's club hindering women to enter, but just, as you said, "men choose to do so". Then why is it wrong to say "men choose to go into more science jobs"?
If you claim to want equality, you have to look in both directions, no exceptions. But actually, this happens often. If I was to ask feminists, who sometimes do look in both directions, they would just shrug you off as a minority, just as you did with "tumblr feminists".
Other than that (probably shouldn't say this): Great board, would like more serious discussion about feminism without having to walk on eggshells. The only thing missing is good moderation. Look at all these spam threads.
