The main problem of most developed societies is horribly low fertility rates. Lot of women pick very long education path and then career thinking about having children only in their mid 30s… When their fertility is mostly gone.
I think education system for women should be tailored towards different things than men. Teenage girls should have better knowledge of psychology (especially child psychology) health, childcare ect. so they are well prepared to build strong stable relationships and start families when they’re actually fertile. I’m not talking here about giving up on career of course, it’s a personal choice, but I wish the education was complementary for both genders (so couples benefit from different specializations of each other) rather than uniform.
This is correct reasoning from ethical and philosophical standpoint. The issue is that we have a ticking bomb here and we need to disarm it somehow.
Kurzgesagt made amazing video about birthrates topic

I won’t lie, the issue of fertility rates is not one I have any prior knowledge of, and I made it about a quarter of the way through that video before I had too many questions to be able to continue. The video says some reasons of low fertility rates is because of poor handling of pensions and high healthcare costs for retirees. Are these not things that can be addressed and fixed before putting the expectation of having more babies onto women?
I feel like putting that kind of burden on women, especially young girls in school is like some form of slavery. Black schools in the US were underfunded by design so that black Americans wouldn’t be qualified for higher paying jobs and had less opportunities for a higher quality of life. The proposal in your post doesn’t sound very different for women.
Different profile of education doesn’t mean worse. Just different. I don’t know where “slavery” interpretation comes from.
Different tracks for different sorts of people, but ultimately similar in outcomes. Separate but equal, right?
I can’t tell if you’re trolling me here. That’s literally how whites sold the idea of segregation. And the word “different” in that context is what I was saying about opportunity. When you provide different education to different demographics of people, the levels of opportunity are vastly different for each group. You’re idea of curating a young girl’s education to prepare her for having babies does exactly that.
I’m not tolling.
And they were lying. I’m not.
Since women can have children, their opportunities are bigger than opportunities of man. Building a family and childcare is an opportunity. Different one than professional career, but it isn’t worse in any way. Many people feel lonely and want a child after decades of work, except the biological clock is ticking unequally faster for women, and it might be too late for some. Somehow you people treat children like an unnecessary burden. This is wrong on so many levels. Promoting and educating women in that direction isn’t a disservice - it opens completely new path… And benefits whole society in current context.
Oh yea because we can all see this has historically been the case thus far lmao
No one has to worry about if you’re lying. They have to worry about all of the future people who would likely be men that would continue to enforce this.
I’m sure you have the best intentions here, but it doesn’t matter what your intentions are if you set up something that can easily be abused by countless of other people. On the surface, a literacy test may sound like a good idea for voters, but eventually someone is going to realize that if they put certain demographics of people into a “separate but equal” system of education, then they can control which demographics have more voting power.
What you’re describing is not far off from what has been experienced in the very near past.
Let’s assume it’s a ticking time bomb. The solution is to destroy the system that brought us here, which is patriarchy.
