And why do they complain about not having a men’s club when they have just as much free will to organize one as the women who made the women’s club? I wouldn’t give a fuck if there was a males-only club bc I’m already in my professional women’s groups. Do they think we’re supposed to organize it on their behalf too?

We had like a women’s coding club established at our school and guys at our school started posting online about how it was “sexist”

Also pretty sure if they got into female dominated fields they could also have those same clubs but they’re not interesting in the vulnerability or possibly loss of prestige that could come with it.

also like no one is stopping you from creating your own club???

I think the frustration does not just come from the fact that there are female centered clubs for male dominated fields and not male centered clubs for female dominated fields. I think the frustration comes from the existence of female only scholarships and preferential treatment in hiring and in college admissions that women receive, and in particular here, the grants that programs such as Girls who Code get to expedite female entry into male dominated fields, creating unfair competition.

they never take the initiative to make their own clubs, and when they do, its never in order to be with other people who understand their experiences but because they think they are better than others

You mean customer service, health care, hospice care, realty, education, salon/esthetician work, day care, or dozens of other important fields?

and when they do it they are praised lets be real, i had a male teacher and i remember hearing adults say its so nice for the boys to have a male rolemodel in school

I’d say it depends on the field. They’ll be relieved about a male teacher but look down on a male hair stylist or nail tech and a man working in hospice care (mostly women) would be taken pretty neutrally vs if they were something like a doctor or surgeon (mostly men) they’d get praised.

Now men could start organizational alternatives to things such as Girls Who Code for industries such as teaching, but it is unlikely to benefit from the same advantages as its female counterparts (grants, scholarships, etc) simply because people are not as concerned about or interested in it. As men we do not benifit from any kind of affirmative action or preferential treatment when entering female dominated feilds like women do when entering male dominated fields.

I am not even really calling for men to be able to benefit from affirmative action for female dominated fields, rather i feel strictly using merit as the primary determinate for hiring and admissions is the best way to create a truly fair system, as otherwise men have to work harder than their female competition to get the same outcome when applying to jobs in make dominated fields while the inverse is never true.
