As if they'll stop there

Female broadcasters welcome sex quotas at the BBC:
“Without a directive of a quota from above, the figure of 50 per cent will simply never be achieved. Not because there are not good women out there, there are plenty, but they have to be sought out and given the opportunity.”
Of course, we already know that once women have claimed 50 percent of the broadcast positions, they will aim for 65 percent, then 75 percent, and they will never stop shrieking about discrimination against them until they have driven every last male broadcaster out of television.

Look at education in the USA. Women make up 82 percent of the public school teachers and 58 percent of all college attendees.  And yet, we are informed that the problem with the educational system is that there are still too few female athletes and scientists, so Title IX is required in order to rectify the balance.

Now women are actively attempting to drive men out of everything from comics to video games, in the same way they've successfully transformed most evening television into daytime soap operas, most science fiction into romance novels in space, and most fantasy into necrobestial romance novels.

Which raises the question, what on Earth is it that women expect men to do if men are not permitted to do anything without women attempting to ruin it?  Go off and invent something new so that women can continue to feel aggrieved and oppressed?

I never used to object to female involvement in various predominantly male activities. But it seems that it is almost impossible for women to take part in such activities without demanding that things be changed in order to better suit them. There are girls on teams in my soccer club; two of them are excellent players. But the rules of the game are not changed to accommodate them in any way, which is why it works.

Heh, so they have to be "sought and GIVEN the opportunity" eh, as opposed to men who are told they have to SEEK the best jobs and work their balls off to ACHIEVE it?

Even worse in the U.K at the moment. Femenists have successfully lobbied to get the government to force ISPs to begin looking at putting a default block on porn. "Simulated rape" scenes are now also ILLEGAL (Yet still fine in stories and movies it seems).

"Men's mags" now also have to be fully covered, or they're banned from shelves. Yet the female gossip mags full of hunks with their shirts off (or naked) are fine. Because think of the children!

As you mentioned, not even in games are men allowed to be the Hero anymore, as it's always "why wasn't a female character used instead?".

"Sought and given the opportunity", yes. Feminists want to complain about not having their place at the table. If men had taken this approach to life, the table never would have been built.

This would not be possible without the assistance of white knight enablers.

I never understood female reporters in male locker rooms or female gym teachers in male locker rooms.

Reminds me of the old childhood rant, "What are you going to about it, eh?"

Its a form of psychological dominance, I can enter your space and you have to shut up and not complain.

Granted I'm something of a head case, but letting women have hand-me-down hobbies and inventing new ones doesn't sound half bad to me.

You probably don't have a particular interest in the current hobbies.

I think, that the women are pushing for a society similar to that of the lion. Where the alpha male has about 4-7 females, and perhaps a beta male helper. The females are then principally responsible for doing the day to day and the man primary focuses on breeding and defending his territory.

We need to push two things. First, change the sentencing guidelines until 51% of the prison population at all levels are women to reflect the demographics. Also subsidized men until they are equally "Mothers", and 49% of the "home-makers" are men, supported by their wive's paycheck (and watch ESPN instead of soaps of Dr. Fill-with-nonsense).

Which raises the question, what on Earth is it that women expect... I assume you are (wrongly) asking a rational question, or at least that women's collective expectations involve either reason or reality. They want unicorns that defecate skittles (which you can give as valentine gifts).

Now women are actively attempting to drive men out of everything from comics to video games, in the same way they've successfully transformed most evening television into daytime soap operas, most science fiction into romance novels in space, and most fantasy into necrobestial romance novels.

It isn't an active attempt, only that they poison the well and you can choose or not to drink the kool-aid. Women don't actively drive men out or such, but modify or redefine the environment so that no male with a two functioning cereberal hemispheres and testicles would have any desire to stay. There is a sufficient population of Gammas that can't say "No" (thinking the flip-side of consensual sex).

While the Alpha might promise "I'll respect you in the morning" (ok, not very alpha, but to make my point...), the Gamma is promised "I'll think about letting you do it with me tomorrow night".

Vox, I couldn't agree with you more. But what can be done on a practical level to have men's spaces which women wont invade in media?

Now women are actively attempting to drive men out of everything from comics to video games, in the same way they've successfully transformed most evening television into daytime soap operas, most science fiction into romance novels in space, and most fantasy into necrobestial romance novels.

I would say this is why the really good television shows, such as Breaking Bad, Hell on Wheels, or Game of Thrones are all on cable. There is no space for shows that actually appeal to men on the networks at this point. But who knows how long even the cable tv channels will keep shows that appeals to men.

A few years back Disney Channel created a second channel Disney XD to appeal to boys since their main channel is so female centric. But probably in ten years this will also be girl centric.

They expect men to tell them "no"

Jeremy Clarkson and Bear Grylls are the only males working at the BBC.

They have it backwards on the quotas. They should be putting upper limits on the number of women allowed to work in traditional female jobs (like nursing, teaching, and human resources).

Colleges should not be able to admit any females to their teaching degree programs till the male enrollment reaches 50%.

Schools should not be able to hire any female teachers till their male teacher level reaches 50%.

This would force women out of traditional female jobs and into traditional male jobs (like oil rigger, construction work, and sanitation engineering).

It would also provide an incentive for men to take traditionally female jobs (as they would have an easier time getting a job in those fields).

Quotas for the minimum number of women you must employ in traditional male jobs, along side limits on the maximum number of women you are allowed to employ in traditional female jobs would provide real equality.

Eh bummer. I love radio and would like a radio production or on air gig but, but.

The problem with some female radio hosts is their voices become annoying or intolerable, thus ruining radio.

Radio was meant for men with just the right voice. Men offer a range of tone and depth but women don't.

There was a big thing in Aussie recently, the new government only has one woman in the line up. The Media shat themselves straight. It is wrong for men to be men. Our civilisation is dead.

I turned off the television because it was almost all geared towards women. But, you cannot really withdraw from things like work, school etc. and you cannot really fight with them too (makes you look angry and like an instigator). So, I am not sure where the win is, other than to find ways to find finances through entrepreneurial pursuits.

I recall when an unique release amusement implied getting a gold Legend of Zelda Nintendo cartridge. These days gamers' rooms are loaded with plastic firearms, lockboxes, protective caps, skulls, and other arbitrary outrageousness.
