The Goal Post Episode 73 - Men in Education Reality / Saladin / Mariano Barbacid / Amelia Rant

Описание: We start off talking about an article by Australian publication Adelaide Now - Rob remarks that it's good to see anything siding with men at all, although we do critique its insistence on the feminist historical narrative, which sadly is nothing so new and remains a problem.

We take a stab at Billie Eilish's remark at the Grammy's about how "no one is illegal on stolen land" and the man who plans on testing that by showing up at her mansion and crashing there, which if she is consistent, cannot lodge a legal complaint, especially how the mansion is itself said to be "on stolen land".

We speak about how although the issue of how men are "falling behind" in schools and consist of a third of university enrollment is brought up by the men's movement at large, the actual issue is not what most think it is, and Rob says that it is men being more shrewd about their career choices. In schools however female teachers mark down boys as a matter of course. We verge into the realm of reading, and how fiction can be as helpful as nonfiction in terms of deriving philosophical value.

We talk about the differences between copyright, patents, and trademarks, how open-source is not the lack of copyright, and the problems with patenting in that it can hinder invention than promote it.

Our Great Man of History is Saladin, an Islamic King during the crusades noted for his honorable and unusual conducts and we talk some about his complex relationship with his opponent Richard the Lionheart.

We introduce a new segment called Men of Note, and start off with Mariano Barbacid, a man who described a treatment for regressing pancreatic cancer, one of the more dangerous cancers.

Vernon talks about the Amelia phenomenon and how it and the Scottish Girl with Axe memes are a form of Joan-of-Arc gynocentrism that prefers to place female faces at the forefront of any issue while men are simultaneously made absent from such representation and berated for their absence.
