A Message to Queensland University of Technology and the MATE Program

To be fair, the only reason I showed interest in the program was to see what kind of ideologies are being spread around in our schools and universities. As feedback, there are some issues I had concerning aspects of the workshop.

It minimised male problems walking while through a dark alley by very quickly skipping over male reactions to the situation, while focusing on accumulating more detail on the female side to make a gendered point. It didn’t acknowledge 2/3 murder victims are men, male suicide epidemic, perceived biases in the family court skewed in the favour of women, etc.

It has not been possible to develop reliable estimates of the total percentage of the raw gender wage gap. When given more choice, women tend to choose less dangerous jobs than men, 3 in 4 part time jobs are held by women, and the necessity for breastfeeding and close mother/child relationship results in more women choosing to leave full time careers.

By attempting to ‘fix’ equality of outcome, there needs to be an inequality of opportunity enforced. This can be seen in the vast amount of scholarships, programs, diversity quotas, and support available exclusively for women, giving them an advantage, privilege, over men. This lowers the realm of opportunity of individuals based on gender, which is literally government funded and endorsed sexism based on the definition of sexism. Surely you can see that since these kinds of government funded programs have become more mainstream, there has been real institutional exclusion of people based on race, gender etc. Through enforced inclusivity, individuals are excluded.

Another example of this in action is the push for equal representation of the population in the work force. Individuals, while wholly qualified for the job, will be discarded in exchange for someone else in a “minority class”. I’m sure you’re familiar with the blind recruitment trial in government which found that removing any identifiers of gender or race from resumes, in order to reduce “sexism” in the hiring process, actually led to less women being hired. Since then, the government scrapped the idea of just equalising opportunity, in exchange for enforcing equal outcome. Results like this are important in the discussion because they show that there likely isn’t gender or racial bias in the hiring process.

The lecturer also referred to an African American man as a quote “Negro man”, which is quite taboo, and could be construed as hate speech in Australia. This is evidence of granting people of colour exclusive cultural immunities, AKA privilege in terms of race.

I feel a lot of these kinds of issues were purposefully left out of the discussion in order to further the end-game of this kind of program. The end-game being to push for speech dictatorship, and impose social engineered gender and race based guidelines in an intersectional neo-marxist framework, onto young and impressionable students, interventionism used to manipulate the natural dynamics of gender and race based community development in order to favour a particular set of socio-political beliefs, minimising diversity of opinion.

The MATE program is relying on the pseudo scientific writings of people like patricia bidol, who introduced “power + prejudice”, implying men are to blame for gender inequality, effectively creating further inequalities by setting up a hierarchical victimhood narrative based on social class, and emphasising the displacement of equality of opportunity to make room for equality of outcome, and restricting freedom of expression.

I was planning on making a youtube video about this, but the program chooses it's words very carefully so as to not upset the opposition, and to hide the end-game. This is why I wanted a copy of the full slides, to put some of the lecturer's phrases into context and to gather source information, as I do honestly feel these kinds of programs create further inequality, and lack diversity of opinion which is necessary for a well rounded education. Of course I was denied the slides, as the lecturer included images of his family in them. Very convenient.
