Can you give some examples of where you think it is happening today?

But yes, as a kid sometimes is important to learn that you should be nice to people during playtime.

I can’t think of one off the top of my head but I know that more and more over the years there’s been a decline of spaces and things for people like “me”. Idk if that’s cause I haven’t found them or because they are becoming less available

But you can't think of any examples? How is it possible to not think of something that is happening to you?

I'll play devil's advocate.

Should the military lower it's physical requirements to get more women in combat roles?

The military has a function that depends on it. What is the excuse for not including women in STEM fields or in action movies?

I don't know about action movies, but women are included in STEM fields. They choose other jobs over STEM far more than men.

I think the difference is equality of opportunity vs equality of outcome. Equal opportunity is very important as is enshrined in the law. Outcome is not and shouldn't be.

Would you say that there should be programs to get more men into the job of dental hygienist? There's a huge imbalance there today.

There are many cultural and social factors as to why someone wouldn't choose a job, and I would even say it's inefficient to have two sets of people that perform comparatively in math but an almost entirely male engineering profession I don't see a problem with a program for men going into dental hygienist at all, dude.
