Another TV ad

This one began with a woman saying that generally people of color and people who identify as female do not have the same exposure to STEM fields as … I’m not sure as who or what. People who are not persons of color and people who do not identify as female. That leaves – Anybody the current POC hierarchy decides. White men, mostly. 

That “exposure to STEM” or “opportunities in STEM” education is a misperception at best, a flat out lie otherwise. How is that girls in elementary schools score higher than boys on standardized tests, yet within a few years those same girls are being denied access to courses in which boys lagged behind?

There was a time when work was pretty much divided between men’s chores and women’s chores, the division when work depended on physical strength and dexterity. Men still have more of those physical jobs than do women. Construction work, professional sports games that require massive physical application for a short period of time, oil field labor and others.

The TV ad was by Amazon, in a continuing effort to propagandize society into believing those unmentioned non-POCs and non-females are holding back the natural order of things.

What the Amazon ad does is say, “See? We are not like those non-POCs, those non-female identifying persons. We are good. Now, buy our stuff.”
