This is a mirror question of the one posed by "x," "Can most of women's lack of achievement be attributed to laziness?"

I didn't realize that all men are high achievers.

Given all the privileges men have, how come more men aren't high achievers?

Firstly the only men who have privilege are those born into wealthy families as in a capitalist society even members of a disadvantaged group who have more then enough money can be privileged.



The average male is highly discriminated against in the public educational system and since all achievement in society is dictated by education men have a less of a chance at being achieved.



The high suicide and drop out rates combined with a gross gender wage gap among younger citizens(women earning on average $1.25 an hour more then men in the younger generations) is clear evidence that men are far from privileged as a class. The only privilege that is real is money privilege and female privilege.

No, I wasted enough time citing sources(one of the reason a good many feminist's here blocked me). When the feminist's here start citing sources regularly then as will I.

Well your speaking in generalities by saying 'men' in other words you are asking what have 'men' done not individuals.



Hence saying male lack of achievement hardly works since if it was true we would be sitting in a forest by a camp fire having this discussion.



EDIT: I did not see the other question sorry when i looked on the net yours was the first i saw

Lack of achievement can be put down to many factors, of which one is laziness.

I don't think laziness is a gender specific trait.

You know everytime you make a mirror question it just shows how much you cry, right??

*facepalm*



Considering the fact that men really have invented more things than women, this mirror question, like many of the other ones you post, doesn't entirely work.

The most uncsessful man is still better than the most so called succesful woman just by virtue of him being a man

Privaleges? What priveleges?



Your mirror questions don't really work in a lot of situations. Your just making yourself look as stupid as the original questioner.
