It's odd how the most popular stats on the wage gap are the non-multivariate analysis ones which ignore proper scientific methodology entirely. It's not odd at all, those are the only ones that can be used to support what the people in power want us to believe. Popularity isn't based on truth, it's based on usefulness to those who get to influence what becomes popular.

The left isn't really about class though. It's about trying to re-make (as opposed to carefully tweak) society to solve all our problems. Left vs right is about your approach to Chesterton's Fence. One of the popular versions happened to be about class, but that's not the only way that that attitude shows up.

Backnof house is almost always entirely male, front of house is almost entirely female. Guess which group functions as a team with little friction, clearly defined roles, and camaraderie. There's at least the possibility that it's related to "who serves which customer and gets tips from them" being closer to zero-sum than what the kitchen people are faced with.

The thing about these AI models, is that they only know what they were trained on. At least on their hosted products, OpenAI has been known to modify prompts before giving them to the model. Mostly around "diversity" sorts of topics. They fed the model basically all of the examples of writing they could get their hands on It is not out of the realm of possibility that they pre-censored the training data, like how the latest Stable Diffusion release (make images from a text prompt) specifically d…

Does me hating on the ideology of white supremacy mean I hate white people? No of course not And yet, I see people called white supremacists for refusing to hate on whites, or for pointing out bigotry. For example the "it's ok to be <race>" thing. Does me hating on ISIS mean I am Islamaphobic? If you forget to actively highlight how "normal" muslims don't agree with them? Yes, you will get called that.

entertainment preferred Interesting. I know for acting and whatnot they can have hard requirements for things that would normally be illegal (like I think hooters uses this to specifically hire just women?). Because it's an actual necessity of the job (same example, nobody wants to go stare at moobs). But I wouldn't have thought a preference would be allowed, since that implies it's not an actual necessity to do the job.

What people want in the bedroom vs what they want during the day vs what they're stuck with at work, can all be very different. Personally I think 50/50 for general life stuff sounds good, and either one sounds ok for bedroom time. The one time my wife stumbled across some "surrendered wife" literature (basically, religious-themed lifestyle D/s) I had to talk her out of it because neither one of us has the right personality for that to be even close to working.

The fact that these people attack liberals without realising that they themselves are liberal for supporting men's rights and issues creates the one thing I can't stand: hypocrisy. No. You're assuming that both opinions are only held for purposes of group affiliation. But some people actually believe things sincerely rather than just because they want to fit in.

criticizing the wrongs of radical feminism But you can say "the Duluth model is rooted in bigotry" without trying to tie it to feminism. It's a wrong and it needs to be criticized (and corrected) and this is independent of where it came from. The double standard around DV/IPV that the recent JD/AH trial and the reactions to it showcased, is wrong because it's wrong, not because it's driven by feminist propaganda.

How did those couples get together? Rather like online dating focuses on appearance as a first filter, I'd think that actively going out looking for someone would tend to disproportionately focus on surface level things. As opposed to say meeting someone at work or from a group of friends or even at a party, where you already know them or get to talking and notice you seem to like eachother.

Crimes are defined by criminal code. Whether a crime has been committed or whether someone is a victim is defined by this code. If it’s unclear, it goes to court for a jury to decide. Close, but not entirely. For example, countries that define rape in a way that it legally doesn't apply if the victim is a man. Partly, yes, the meeto thing was about demanding to be believed unconditionally. But also, some small portion of it was "this is harmful even though it isn't actually illegal". And even if…

The menslib approach seems to be based on the idea that allowing any criticism of feminism is a slippery slope to outright misogyny or, at least, counterproductive discussion that doesn't help male advocacy.

Feminism isn't a left wing ideology, it's centrist.

Thirdly, the policy is based on the presumption that all women experience delibitating periods, which is not true. Oh, I thought this was part of the "decolonization" thing, and they're trying to bring back how a fair few ancient societies isolated menstruating women as "unclean" or whatever their equivalent concept was.

Is "how likely to apply" and "how likely to be accepted" really the right way to look at it? I'd think it's "number of jobs investigated" which is about the same, and "number of applications needed to get hired" which is lower for women (it's just another way of framing that same 16-20% from the chance of applying or being accepted). I suppose there's also number of offers before accepting one which would be the gap between "number of offers looked at" and "how likely to apply" vs "how likely to…

The links to related terms show that "incapacitated" is distinct from "legally incapacitated".

"Not all feminists" (and, um, just ignore that the rest don't disown the nutters) What exactly are you thinking that "fascism" means? It's not just a synonym for "evil". Keep in mind that the Fascists, the Communists, and the Nazis were all different (Italy, Russia, and Germany respectively).

I remember reading some old Western novel as a kid (old as in, they quite likely would have been new around when my grandparents or great-grandparents were kids; and our physical copies of most of this sort of book even smelled a bit musty) that had the newbie boss character getting harassed by the old crowd and being told (I think?

When wages dip below that point, crime is simply the most economically sensible choice. What you want to do is firstly: set your minimum wage above that line.

If they can't claim ownership over the idea of affection between men, they lose something that they can no longer grab onto and show off as "see this? This is us.". If you decide to build your identity on being different (on the outside), then it kinda hurts when what you're doing isn't different any more. ​ Obviously this is distinct from "happens to have such-and-such sexual preferences".

I see people claim that, yes.

One thing I see called "toxic" is competitiveness. The thing is, in reasonable amounts? It's actually useful to society.

That's because the people who designed the AI were fucking incompetent. They had it look for something like "how similar are you to who we've already hired".

If self-estimates of attractiveness follow the same rule as self-estimates of skill, then the Dunning-Krueger paper says everyone thinks they're between 50% (the people actually around 0%) and 75% (the people actually around 100%). So a reasonably-informed first guess is that nobody thinks they're in the top 20%.

Type 1 is the least severe type of FGM. I thought the least severe was most of what's in Type IV "not otherwise classified". Which includes things that sound like they're about the same level as getting your ears pierced. Type 3, for example, [snip details] is really horrific and to compare that with circumcision is a joke. Yep. And to call it by the same name as Type I or most of Type IV is equally a joke. Circumcision doesn't remove a male's ability to enjoy sex And guess what? Several things …

Fgm usually does involve the removal of the clitoris though, at least in the countries where it's practiced routinely. Do you have a source for this? It looks like the official classification scheme doesn't distinguish between "equivalent to circumcision" and "equivalent to a complete dickectomy". Per http://www.path.org/files/FGM-The-Facts.htm : In 1995, the World Health Organization (WHO) developed four broad categories for FGM operations.15 Type 1 Excision (removal) of the clitoral hood with …

The rule is half your age plus seven. At 25, that would mean nobody younger than 19/20. Either lose her number, or text back that you're very sorry but she's right that it is a bad idea and you've changed your mind and then lose her number.

"We all have biases and use motivated reasoning to dismiss ideas that run counter to our internal values." Those are unrelated, because "biases" and "internal values" are not the same thing.

High status is whatever everyone else says it is. It's being seen as more equal than other people. What kinds of social circles are high status in the adult world and which ones are low status (LARPers and video game nerds). That depends on where you live and who you care about. High status at a cowboy bar in Texas is going to be fairly different from high status on a cruise put together by a museum, and they'll both be different from high status living near a big surfing beach.

an employer who actively rejects the hiring of applicants based on surface level traits is ultimately at a competitive disadvantage and will underperform in the market. Maybe.

Say a woman mounts a man and he later decides he doesn't want to have sex anymore and he tells her to stop. How long does she have to dismount before she's guilty of rape? I thought most legal definitions of rape are broken in that they specifically don't include "made to penetrate" or whatever you'd call it? So your example can't possibly be rape, unless she's got a strap-on or something.

The whole ci/co is bullshit. Sure, whatever helps you sleep at night. But really? It's the foundation everything else has to build on. It's why studies of "why aren't these people fat" start with measuring their metabolism.

Calories in / calories out / exertion Manage those three variables and you control your physique. The trick is figuring out how to do that reliably. Most modern food is designed to be tasty enough that you'll eat because it tastes good rather than because you're hungry. Most modern food also isn't all that filling, so you'll get hungry again sooner that you ought. Which means that you'll have to fight against your body to actually reduce calories in. Which doesn't work well long term. Or instead…

superior civilization based on exactly what the cited social media post refers to: patriarchal, agricultural-then-industrial society.

If you go 110% into all the teachings, sure. But, most of those seem to be heavily oversimplified and stylized teachings meant for the relatively clueless. The more nuanced version seems to be that you should appear to be in control (because RP tends to go after the kind of women who like that), and not be out of control (because it's bad for you).

I don't think it's subjective. Coercion is being forced to do something you don't want to do. In the example earlier, "sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow. I am best at this so I will lead now. He is best at that, he'll lead now. Oh good, we are done now." during the "he'll lead now", who is being coerced? Is it the person who voluntarily chose to follow? Is it the person who is being asked to lead?

Keep your mind on where you are and what (or I suppose who) you're doing. Learn to delight in the (positive) reactions you get out of her.

Single moms are plate only material. Sure, but why? The reasons seem to be mostly (1) kids that aren't yours are dangerous to live with; (2) her priority is her kids rather than you; and (3) being a single parent implies a history of bad decisions. But, (1) doesn't apply if he's not looking to cohabitate; (2) sounds like something he agrees with; and (3) seems a bit questionable to me, more of a yellow flag than a red flag.

I've been better off avoiding certain situations even if I "feel" like I want to get involved. Discipline is something I am still working on.

The bosses won't care about your petty issues with her. They will care about the project being done. Agreed, that's why I would never complain for something like this to my bosses.

Any imbalance is only unjust if some positive right or regulatory action is being asserted which robs one or both of the parties of the liberty to freely choose their actions. If a society is divided into identifiable groups and it looks too much like some groups are keeping others down, then there will be intergroup resentment and eventually violence. Which is a problem, whether or not anyone has individually done anything "wrong". Unjust imbalances of power and the abuse of them can only exist…

groups each seeking their own positive rights, which when granted do nothing but erode our negative human rights. Any interaction has an uneven balance of power. If that balance is too uneven, it can be a rights issue. So you get things like employee protection laws, tenant protection laws, protester protection laws, etc. If that imbalance lines up well enough with some identity group -- men, women, blacks, immigrants, seniors, whatever -- then yes it does become a rights issue for that group.

FGM is a really severe form of mutilation. There's a pretty big range of things that get called FGM. It ranges from "chop everything off" to "far less mutilatory than circumcision". What I've seen is that the most extreme examples are held up as what's being argued against, and the least extreme examples are held up to show how widespread and urgent the problem is. Those most extreme examples are also held up as why they're specifically against female genital mutilation, and circumcision really …

The marriage rate may be declining, but so is the divorce rate.
