I don't think it's possible. Paradoxically, the more egalitarian a nation is, the more segregated the sexes are into specific jobs. This has been noted by economists for a while now. The countries with some of the worst gender inequality issues such as Pakistan and Iran actually have very high percentages of women in engineering and computer science. Do you know why? Because these are the only professions women can go into if they want to make a decent (not even necessarily good) living.

By contrast, Look at Norway, one of the most feminist if not the most feminist nations in the world. Women there self-segregate themselves into traditionally feminine professions (nursing, primary and secondary teaching, etc.) and/or quit/work part time to take care of kids. Here's a tl;dr article on it if you don't want to get into specific studies:
https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/02/the-more-gender-equality-the-fewer-women-in-stem/553592/
>But when it comes to their relative strengths, in almost all the countries—except Romania and Lebanon—boys’ best subject was science, and girls’ was reading. (That is, if an average girl was as good as an average boy at science, she was still likely to be even better at reading.) Across all countries, 24 percent of girls had science as their best subject, 25 percent of girls’ strength was math, and 51 percent excelled in reading. For boys, the percentages were 38 for science, 42 for math, and 20 for reading. The more gender-equal the country, per the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Index, the larger this gap between boys and girls in having science as their best subject.
>What’s more, the countries that minted the most female college graduates in fields like science, engineering, or math were also some of the least gender-equal countries. They posit that this is because the countries that empower women also empower them, indirectly, to pick whatever career they’d enjoy most and be best at.

Additionally, while there has been a rise of women in STEM recently, they have not gone into the STEM fields that actually make money. Those being computer science and engineering. Nor do they go into the liberal arts fields that make a lot of money (economics and... well, that's basically it; maybe government?). They do physical and life sciences that skew towards the middle of the pack, and by """STEM""" standards skew very low, regardless of GPA.
https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/women-are-majoring-in-the-lower-paying-stem-fields/
>The median salary for a recent graduate with a degree in biology, for example, is just $33,400, putting the major solidly in the bottom half of all fields. (These figures are for graduates 27 or younger with a full-time, year-round job and no graduate degree.)
>There’s another difference between the “S” and “TEM” parts of STEM: gender.
>Women make up almost exactly half of all recent STEM graduates. But they make up less than a quarter of all graduates in the 20 highest-paying STEM fields, and more than two-thirds of graduates in the 20 lowest-paying majors.
>The S-vs.-TEM divide is a big part of the explanation. Engineering majors dominate the list of the highest-paid STEM fields (and of fields more broadly); nearly all of those majors are also heavily male. Lower-paying jobs, meanwhile, tend to be in the health and life sciences fields, which have a much higher proportion of female majors.
>What the data can’t answer is why women are choosing less lucrative majors. In recent years, schools such as Harvey Mudd College and Carnegie Mellon University have taken aggressive steps to increase the number of women studying computer science, which has been falling.

It's a thing everywhere. Amusingly, China is having an atypical economic problem brought on by this perception. They have a major labor shortage when it comes to factory workers and machinists and such because they've been building their society for a post-industrial high-income economy (like the U.S.) while still being an industrial middle-income economy.
http://www.clb.org.hk/en/content/la-times-chinas-new-college-graduates-struggle-put-their-skills-work

A lot of Chinese students get degrees in jobs that barely exist in China, and upon finding out there are no jobs for their degree they'd rather rely on their parents than accept a job with lower prestige. In fact, prestige is more important than pay in the eyes of many Chinese college grads. They'd rather take less money for a white collar job than go work in a factory that has constant labor shortages.

well even making it "trendy" doesn't do the trick, because even with things like coding and gaming, there are surges in female interest, maybe a tv show is made about how a group of women are flipping the games design world on its head, however when it comes to writing code for 12 hours a day and putting the mind-work in, the general masses of women just aren't interested by it.

When you look at his methodology, he does the same shit: asks respondents to self identify as liberal or conservative, but does not inform them of how he used "liberalism" earlier in the speculative section (in the US sense, as a synonym for social democrat or socialist).

You can't. It's not in their mental wiring to be interested. Women have different interests than men and vice versa. The same applies for what work they want to do. Feminists don't understand this basic fact because they've spent their whole life around the mentality of trying to "do it just as good as men" and ironically try to be more manly (butch bull dykes) and unironically not notice they are being anything but feminine which destroys the purpose in the first place. As far as women are concerned if they are and they're efficient at it, great. I've seen plenty of good programmers and mathematicians that were women but if not, don't lower the standards for everyone else so unwarranted people can have their proverbial social gold star.

The study had US respondents - for whom "liberal" is clearly taken to mean what it does in the US. The overwhelming majority of Americans aren't even aware that 'liberal' has other, different meanings.

Well, as it turns out, they don't. You're just assuming at this point. If you use "liberal" in the European sense anywhere in the US, no matter how high-IQ the setting, you will be misunderstood. It literally means something different here, and it's used consistently that way across all forms of American political discourse by everyone except one or two people per hundred thousand who are either too special and edgy to not show off their fedora-tier uniqueness or are deliberately trying to confuse/mislead people for political gain

Source? Because making the assumption that high IQ individuals would choose to be better informed about terms that are in high prominence is logical, in fact many of the famous "alt-right" people actually consider themselves as liberals. Examples: Dave Rubin, Jordan Peterson, even Milo Yiannopoulos. And they are VERY outspoken about it, which means that a lot of their listeners also know of the classical term.

You're making a lot of claims but not providing much backing, it's very hard to take you seriously.

This is incorrect because they are influencers, each one of them has a following and do teach the audience about the correct use of the terms.

Serious question, are you autistic?
The issue at hand is the study's methodology. Rather than give any evidence that there was meaningful confusion among respondents, you mention that a few special snowflake Americans purposely use the term "liberal" to mean "classical liberal" instead of the universal American meaning of "social liberal," because it's "more correct," (conceding that this is indeed a conscious choice by someone aware of both meanings and the distinction between them, who would not reply to a survey with any ambiguity.) Cool, whatever. You do not present even a single case of any American only aware of the "classical liberal" meaning who has been misled in some way by the conventional use of the term "liberal," but you hector me for a source that not every member of your vaguely defined group of "high IQ people" is aware of multiple meanings, and totally reject all mainstream political discourse as valid evidence, even when done by smart people, because your group is specially defined to exclude all those cases (they must not REALLY be high IQ if they don't use my snowflake definitions!) You take absolutely for granted (no evidence here either) that the "high IQ population" will necessarily seek out and understand the "correct," nonstandard use of prominent terms, and simply ignore my objection that, if this were actually true, we'd have seen the same thing with the term "socialism." We haven't. Certainly not among a single one of the figures you mentioned, but curiously, quite a lot of socialists are well-informed of the difference between social liberalism and classical liberalism. ref pic in >>9901812

You even concede that there's no problem for the overwhelming majority (the survey's respondents) and "clarify" you were just talking about this special group, which makes me wonder why you're still going.

>> No.9903599

>>9903428
>the correct use of the terms
No such thing. One meaning of the term isn't "more correct" than the other. It doesn't matter what concept a given term is used to label, as long as there is no ambiguity (or we can easily resolve ambiguity wherever necessary) and as long as we can adequately label all the concepts we like. The use of language naturally evolves over time, and what is "correct" is whatever the current consensus on the use of language is within an environment, because ideas ought to be clearly communicated and stand and fall on their own merits.
What I love is this: you all but come out and say Rubin, Peterson, and Milo are your High-IQ Heroes, smarter than any American political analyst or scholar who hasn't bothered to revive the 19th century meaning of "liberal" for political reasons, and then have the audacity to say this

The point, retard, is that people mean different things by the word "liberal" (which is true even in the US, even though you're straining yourself to claim the contrary) so when you ask people to self-identify on a survey without using any sort of control question that would determine what their actual stance is (what they actually mean by 'liberal'), you're using garbage data. Garbage in, garbage out.

You were provided with studies that do use control questions to sift out the data, whence a very different picture of the political landscape in the US w.r.t. cognitive ability/IQ emerges, yet you've consistently ignored it, choosing instead to quibble about whether Americans are or aren't aware of the nuances of liberalism.

tl;dr - fuck off, you stinking socialist.

>> No.9903852

"Special snowflakes" is your derisive attempt to reduce the importance of the proof that there's absolutely no sure definition of what the correspondents meant when assigning themselves to "liberal". To double on that you are also attempting to make less importance of the most important factor on how likely a person is to not be misinformed.

Terms are NOT static and their definition changes all the time, just like they changed on the american territory, they can change again to their classical terms, which is in fact what is happening. Calling influencers "snowflakes" is disingenuous at heart.
>You do not present even a single case of any American only aware of the "classical liberal" meaning who has been misled
I don't have to, you have to prove that for some reason high IQ individuals would be stupid to not know the proper definition of the terms, and even more importantly, that the research you presented has any validity in the first place which such loosely used terms.
>vaguely defined group of "high IQ people"
There is no such thing as vaguely defined, the very research you provided uses such term because it's one of the most tested and most reliable factors that can be tested about someone's personality, and the most important factor of how well a person will do in life.
>because your group is specially defined to exclude all those cases (they must not REALLY be high IQ if they don't use my snowflake definitions!)
And this is why I told you to take your shit somewhere, this very strawman is the proof that you are not interested in science but throwing verbal shit like a demented monkey. I presented a fault on the research you used, it's up to you to prove that such faults are either
irrelevant or inexistent.

>> No.9903853

>>9903597
>You take absolutely for granted (no evidence here either) that the "high IQ population" will necessarily seek out and understand the "correct"
As long as a few individuals in the "liberal" category in the research assigned themselves to it because of it's classical definition, the research is invalid because one of it's terms has multiple definitions. And yes, high IQ individuals ARE more likely to use terms correctly.
>if this were actually true, we'd have seen the same thing with the term "socialism."
Not relevant to the discussion at hand, because to begin with, it's not used in your research, and secondly because you are still use ad populum to an issue that's related to properly defining terms in a research and the likelihood that high IQ individuals will use a term correctly, regardless of how the general public perceives it.

>You even concede that there's no problem for the overwhelming majority (the survey's respondents) and "clarify" you were just talking about this special group
Because said group has way more importance than the rest.
>No such thing. One meaning of the term isn't "more correct" than the other. It doesn't matter what concept a given term is used to label, as long as there is no ambiguity
Don't be pedantic, you know what was meant by "correct use of terms", and the very reason why it's important to not change the definition of terms is exactly to prevent the type of confusion that's happening right now, said "ambiguity" can't even be solved in this case, rendering an entire study useless.
>The use of language naturally evolves over time, and what is "correct" is whatever the current consensus on the use of language is within an environment
Ironic you say this, ignoring the very fact that said change can happen multiple times, calling what I presented as new change as "special snowflakes". Your double standards show everywhere in your posts.

Again a strawman, I never accessed their intelligence, I merely pointed out that they are influencers, and they use the terms in it's classical definition, regardless of their IQ the natural result is that other will follow.

At no point did you bring any type of science into this thread, and when it's done, such as pointing out that any test results with high IQ individuals show that their actions differ from the average population, you brush it aside.

Here is Paul Ryan, a mainstream conservative, demonstrating keen awareness about the subtleties of liberalism, calling himself a "classical liberal" and outright stating that "the conservative movement was that [i.e. classical liberalism, just like in Europe]": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOb2_4zE8WQ&t=4m (timestamped 4 minutes into the video, where he first talks about it).

And with this, I consider the bizarre idea that everyone in the US uses liberal as a synonym for 'social liberal' roundly refuted. The high IQ echelon of the population clearly does not use the term in that way.

I think the biggest thing limiting the aspirations of women is how easy they have it.
I'm so paranoid of failure that I'm putting my foot in many doors before I've even left university, and I'm paranoid of failure because I don't want to waste the best years of my life working minimum wage.

As far as I can tell, women never have that paranoia, and they shouldn't.
They have:
>Massive favouritism for pink-collar jobs, as long as they're under 30. Undesirable, but guaranteed employment for young women.
>Significant favouritism for most white-collar jobs, which are the most desirable common jobs.
>Significant opposition for management/executive jobs due to sexism and the mindset required to get into those jobs. The best jobs in existence in terms of pay and influence, but so rare that it hardly matters that women hardly stand a chance since men don't stand much of a chance either.
>Significant opposition for blue-collar jobs. Women don't want these jobs anyway, and if no one will employ you it's still easy to create your own jobs here.
