Hot, Bad & Unpopular Takes

I want a Trump of the left. The left is dominated by pussies that are weak and rely on vague social liberal platitudes and never get to the crux of the problem.

I fail to understand the feminist theory and the fact that women are inherently discriminated against.

Like, yes women get discriminated against, but so do men. Like sexism in the workforce and sexual assault, I get, but how does that translate into other aspects of society.

Like in politics, why are women underrepresented and is this due to sexism? The reason I'm asking this is that in my high school, 75% of the student representative council was male, in university that amount stayed similar and such ratio is similar in the fields of politics (even better sometimes).

The discrepancies were even larger in AP courses such as physics (had one female out of a class of 15),  AP government and politics (65% male), AP calculus (60% male). This was at a time in where only 45% my high school was college-bound, and 55% of the AP students were female.

How do you fix this? Similar things happened in university.

Like racism, homophobia, transphobia I can understand due to the obvious majority-minority paradigm, and the household you were born to (a byproduct of your skin colour) affecting your destiny. How does sexism work though? You were born into the same family and enjoyed the same privileges of wealth and power as your male counterparts.

This may be because I've talked to people that have been Muslim, Sikh, gay, black, Hispanic, transmale, illegal, poor so I can understand their perspective but have never really talked this with women (apart from in relationships, but that topic never really comes up.

People that oppose healthcare and welfare as a right are disgusting people and are equivalent to racists in their moral depravity.

So just because I oppose single payer you think I am a terrible person

If you support public option/multi-payer but oppose multi-payer it doesn't make you horrible just wrong. If you oppose the public option/multi-payer and single-payer it does make you morally depraved.

Affirmitve action programs are classist and racist in nature. They help enrich a black elite and allow black students to try less and discriminate against the Asian population, even if the Asian child might have been a first generation immigrant from a working-class background.

Admission based on interviews/holistic education are also all about favouring people that go to anglo- private school to go into their universities.
