We are talking about some jobs being better suited to males and some jobs being better suited to Child care.
I never suggested men shouldn't work in them but I do find it an strange career choice by a male tbh.

Who runs the world but?

Israel/America & Europe.
India and China, increasingly.

Israel and USA are just bomb happy, like bullies in the playground using their fists and eventually being outsmarted (in life) by the ones with brains.

Agree USA has been desperate under Trump, and that all signals their perceived era of self-appointed dominance is coming to an end. They were pretty limp one-sided allies for us anyway.

Sensible comment, I would have lead with that

It's amazing how few here discuss the plight of Ukraine.
An invaded sovereign land trying to defend its borders.

Yet, this type of shit happens on a daily basis. The Russians are a deplorable race, and Putin is playing Trump as a clown.

Yes agree. We can travel the world, try different cuisines, have access to information, can communicate with people all over the globe. Its also safer.
We are similar age and probably got the golden period. Id say the 80s - 2010 where the best years for living in Australia.
Whilst it's still great it's on decline for sure.
In what way has it gotten worse or declined? Give examples.

Saying that an entire race is deplorable is f**king disgusting. You’re better than that, mate.

Agree. I hope Ukraine prevail. It's such a shame they've had to rely on Europe after Trump basically pulled the previous US support against Putin.

Add Putin into the list of try hard, bomb happy, bully boys alongside Netanyahu and Trump... and Kim Jong Un, if he had any real muscle to flex.

(And I'd say the Russian government is deplorable, but maybe not the entire Russian race...)

Ukraine will never prevail whilst Putin runs the show. They may have a chance if he is no longer the leader and Russia decides to withdraw but even then it will be next to impossible because most of the area they have taken identify as Russian.

State capitalism, the market might deliver the results, but the state decides strategically where and when it wants the results, and what that looks like, and it funds or incentivises it accordingly.

It's not a market based economy in the typical sense, because the state decides so much of the outcome.
That’s why I said ‘beginning to embrace’ rather than ‘balls deep’.

Because men have certain skills and physical attributes that can be used to their advantages and women have different ones.
Being that females are nurturing it makes sense they are childcare teachers. Men are hunters and providers. This is never going to change as it's in our DNA.

And most jobs both sixes can do equally well but there are still plenty that are suited to just female or males based in genetics

Stay off the dudebro podcasts my man.
They’ll rot your brain.

They've been "beginning to embrace" for three or four decades now, I'd suggest that they are about as balls deep into the system they have as they're ever gonna be in any system.

it's a mixed bag of socialism, authoritarianism and capitalism, it's almost as if they've worked out that arguing the merits of capitalism over communism is a pointless exercise if you understand each has it's advantages and disadvantages, and if you can take from either as much of the former and as little of the latter the argument is relatively moot.

Attributing their success solely to "embracing capitalism" ignores the differences in their system that have seen them make such remarkable progress over those past few decades. I think for many it's a no true Scotsman type argument against the virtues socialist / communist thought
