Description

beautiful: having beauty; possessing qualities that give great pleasure or satisfaction to see, hear, think about, etc.; delighting the senses or mind: (in this case, physical beauty)

"go after": to exert effort to achieve (gain a job, or gain a partner in life)

career: an occupation/profession undertaken for a significant period of a person's life and with opportunities for progress.

Preferable: Would be more beneficial than negatives, both sides considered.

Assume the woman is heterosexual. Con cannot win by saying "neither way is good", it is either one or the other.

@Speedrace

I think it was smart considering the resolution's wording, but I disagree

I don't think most women much care about what guys who debate online think women should be doing.

tinyurl has failed me? Unacceptable. Here's the site address rather than the image address then.

A clever woman could do both or neither. Though current social pressure would incline the clever woman towards a career.

A not so clever woman might feel compelled to think differently.

Are you referring to a clever or not so clever (heterosexual) woman?.....(Bowing to current social pressures re gender and sexuality)

Sure. I get there are contributions to society to consider. And if you want a debate solely on those impacts, that is one thing (Actually Seldiora, if you want to avoid a Kritik like mine, you should specify that her opinion is somehow not in the equation).

But there is a whole narrative around "women must join STEM, if you do not you're not fighting the patriarchy!" that I'm very against.

It is more like "is being a draftsman more beneficial to me compared to being an actor"

@MisterChris

maybe the beautiful woman can't decide. both sides have their merit, after all.

Why is this for you, me, a judge, or for society at large to decide? Why can't she decide want she wants to do for herself?
