Angra Mainyu said:Okay, so at this point there is no imbalance in Australia.
I am not really looking at this from an Australian perspective. More a European perspective. When I say 'we' I mean the west and Europe in particular.
Angra Mainyu said:Policy implementation needs to consider probability of certain outcomes. It doesn't need to morally condemn people who did nothing wrong.
It may not need to morally condemn people but if people are seen to have a tendency to behave immorally (males running away leaving women and children helpless) and this behaviour is damaging to other people (women and children) then it is reasonable for policy can be implemented to prevent or discourage that behaviour.
Angra Mainyu said:But my point is about what will probably happen with many male children in the current influx who become adult males.
We already covered that. Yes, it could be argued that female children should be preferred. But that is not likely to win political support as discriminating against children by gender is just not going to fly with an electorate.
Angra Mainyu said:If adult males are specially targeted, then females and children are not more vulnerable.
I don't think the speculated possibility that males could be targeted specifically is particularly credible. Even it it were true it hardly flies as justification for able-bodied males to flee leaving females and children. It just feels wrong.
Angra Mainyu said:But that's to a considerable extent due to bad policies in the host countries, blocking integration.
Well that is really another argument. Personally I think the immigrants' culture bears a lot of the responsibility for the failure to integrate.
Angra Mainyu said:Okay, so you think that if there were similar numbers of males and females, there would be no significantly more social problems than, say, females outnumbering males 3:1?
I don't know about those ratios specifically but males are where the problems lie. The less males the better for the host nation. I think 50:50 is as high as we should be willing to go. We need to think about the social health of our nations as well as the welfare of refugees.
