I'm sorry but what an asshole of a teacher.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No need to be sorry, that's an asshole teacher.

It's a greentext so there's no way any of this is real.

It's ok, this never happened.

Who the fuck uses 7 point scales to rate something

[–] everyone_said@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

A 7 point, or Likert scale, is extremely common in a lot of fields, particularly psychology and social sciences.

People in social sciences.

Why not just 1-10?

[–] qooqie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

No shit it’s correlated more women want kids than men. Professor was a dipshit

[–] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

"Men who want kids have lower testosterone" first of all bullshit, but let's assume its true. That means the men are older, not that they have more female characteristics.

[–] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Actually, multiple studies show that men have higher desire to have children than women.

[–] cro_magnon_gilf@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Actually, that sounds like it's made up

It's interesting and sad how so many people state their sexist and stereotypical believes as facts. And than want proof their believes are wrong, otherwise they will continue to believe in their sexist beliefs as if they were facts, even without any proof for their own narrative.

I could ask you, why are you so sure women want children more?

Studies and national surveys of multiple countries show the opposite:

Gender differences in willingness for childbirth, fertility knowledge, and value of motherhood or fatherhood and their associations among college students in South Korea, 2021

Female students showed lower willingness for future childbirth than male students (χ2 = 26.85, p < .001). Women valued motherhood significantly less than men valued fatherhood (t = 6.34, p < .001). Women had a lower fertility knowledge score than men (t = 2.53 p = .012).

Why Young Women Are Less Interested In Marriage And Children Than Young Men

When it comes to having children a similar pattern emerged, with 67% of males saying they want to have children one day compared to 61% of females. Just 12% of males said they didn’t want children compared to 16% of females

Why do more men than women think children equal fulfillment?

Single und kinderlos: Vor allem Männer wünschen sich Nachwuchs

Props for pulling the sources!

Though the other commenter saying "that sounds like it is made up" is definitely not presenting an opinion as fact, it is challenging that you presented your opinion as fact (in the uninformed person's eyes) with no sources to back it up (in your original comment). But then you came with proof afterwards that it has indeed been studied and is a fact.

That does not mean that he was "stating his sexist stereotype as fact".

If I said:

"Multiple studies have shown that the majority of people think the earth is flat"

with no sources.

Then anyone would be very reasonable to say "that sounds like you are making it up" (which in this case is true).

"Any of you ladies want to get in touch with my feminine side, you know where to find me. 😘"

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

The best response to that would be a nice and clear "and...?"

People have a hard time publicly voicing their clarifications after being called out.

If he wants 6 kids, he better get into pipe laying.

Reminds me of the South Park episode where all the boys join Shop class except Kenny who goes into Home Ecs, and they do shit like this with him.
