Yes No Do you think this gender division was SEXIST? - Results (0 votes) Yes % (0 votes) 0 No % (0 votes) 0 South Carolina Admins are apologizing for how a boys and girls class were treated at an event on leadership and character for elementary aged students after they posted a series of pictures that shows boys in TIES going to meet business leaders while the girls went to meet CHEERLEADERS!! Pickens Elementary is under fire for this event as 3rd to 5th grade students were divided by gender with boys participating in business like careers while girls were saddled with cheerleading speakers It said "At the IGNITE boys summit, the boys, who were seen wearing ties and collard shirts were largely pictured sitting at their desks while being addressed and interacting with men who were also wearing business like attire" The girls meanwhile went to SHINE girls retreat and were pictured wearing red t-shirts and sitting in a school gym listening to local HIGH SCHOOL cheerleaders speak and writing signs The FB post said "Male role models from the community spoke with the boys about leadership and the importance of character. The Pickens Varsity cheer team spoke with the girls about how to work togeether to help everyone shine" Backlash erupted on social media with critics complaining about the differing experiences for boys and girls and accused the school of sexism The school then edited the caption with "Role models from the community and student athletes from Pickens High spoke with students about leadership and character" But that didn't satisfy critics as one said "Replacing a sexist caption with a more gender-neutral one, unfortunately, will not magically erase the underlying conceptual fallacy and bias behind this event. You can edit the text as much as you want, but as long as you keep the photos, people are going to still know that you are operating in a sexist vaccum from yesteryear". The district apologized and said the gender divided events were meant to "empower" students as they want to send a message of inclusion and equality as they claim it was not their intent to send this kind of message Do you think this event was SEXIST? https://i.imgur.com/33gs9I8.jpg https://i.imgur.com/pAHuGE8.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Vr2Kn5k.jpg https://i.imgur.com/UbsUWE7.jpg https://i.imgur.com/GBBH578.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1S6tMzw.jpg https://i.imgur.com/3Jq7I0X.jpg https://i.imgur.com/9FAnXFF.jpg https://i.imgur.com/jub4ZPI.jpg https://i.imgur.com/UvGnI03.jpg https://i.imgur.com/nAnnwtH.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Q9U0j8g.jpg https://i.imgur.com/gvX617g.jpg --- 2019 will be the end of random news..https://linkto.run/p/QV29F5V0 call me mrduckbear, sweater monkeys.

Joker_X_II 11/24/19 12:35:36 AM #3:	Knew a girl who was indoctrinated with all that "we can do it!" feminist propaganda.... ....travels north to do roughneck work on the oil patches. Day one, couldn't do jack-shit; by the end of a 20 hour stretch, you could literally hear her psyche crumble, she stayed in the first aid truck while the rest of us finished our work (and hers), before driving back 200km back into civilization. What the OP here is presenting is safe route for these girls. To taper expectations. Yeah sure, they can get into business and probably do better in the office than out in the 'real world', but would they be doing it for themselves? Or because the feminist doctrine is forcing them to, so they can meet their quota in progressiveness? I wouldn't be too quick with the outrage trigger, since not all girls are into what the realm of men have. --- PSA: "Real Gamers" don't pay for Micro-transactions.

GastroFan 11/24/19 10:29:24 AM #14:	It's not feminist to want girls to have exposure to successful business people the same as boys do. What irks me is all the derision directed at women for any and all attempts to gain the respect and admiration automatically granted to men for ANY endeavor no matter what the field. Besides most of these girls will end up forced to work in some male-dominated job; so why not expose them to successful business people as well? <cite>GastroFan posted [p:930621304] in SC apologi...

The one question the OP failed to answer was, "were any of the girls who exposed to the Cheerleading protested over the options?" Why should we care about what muppet on social media is outraged over, when a child is happy and content with dancing and cheering? Why force-feed her to comply with feminist ideologies, when she could wind up being miserable in the end?
