It's crazy. This study is just like the one done on New York bus drivers. Men and women face exactly the same pay schedule yet men earn more. In That study the authors conclude it must be choice - to work more overtime, take more stressful routes, etc. This study is showing exactly the same thing and the Globe somehow sees oppression of women. This study shows that female choice is driving the earnings gap.

Makes perfect sense. A child carries your genes into the future. That's all that matters from the evolutionary perspective. If you're a man you can have another child with your partner, so this force is mitigated. It might be interesting to see if a man's willingness to save his partner varied with her remaining fertility.

Actually, I think this should be a model for all our attempts at achieving equity. Why? Because it's obvious that you start by studying how men and women really are different. How long does a woman take, on average? How long does a man take? No ideological nonsense about there being no intrinsic differences between the sexes. No nonsense about "Teaching women not to take so long", or "teaching men to slow down". Then you define explicitly what you mean by equity. Is it equality in the average le…

"I can't believe that!" said Alice. "Can't you?" the Queen said in a pitying tone. "Try again. Take a deep breath and close your eyes." Alice tried. "It's no use," she said. "One can't believe impossible things." "I dare say you haven't had enough practice," said the Queen. (From Alice Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carrol. (Quoted from memory))

To be clear, what she is complaining about isn't all that uncommon. Professors getting some fame in their field and then behaving like boors? Treating their grad students like slaves? Who knew?

Hmm. "reported by 25% of female engineering students and 50% of female medical students in the Texas system." So women are flocking into medicine and avoiding engineering because there is so much more harassment and sexism in engineering. Right? Oh, wait . . .

In this situation I start by saying I reject completely the "team woman vs team man" approach. It's like going to a 70 year old woman who has faced discrimination in the past and telling her: "We're going to make it up to you! From now on, your grandson has no chance!" I make a similar argument when people start complaining about the earnings gap. This gap lies entirely within households. Young single women today are doing as well as or better than young single men. So, you're a women in a house…

The paper being discussed (Card and Payne 2017) defines the gender gap differently than usual. Lots of STEM fields are female dominated (biology, nursing (included in STEM in this study)) so that there is no big gap in STEM enrollments overall. In their data from Ontario Canada in 2014, 72033 women and 74763 men enrolled in a STEM program. However, this was 30.3% of all the women who enrolled in university, and 43.5% of all the men who enrolled in university. This gap (13.2 percentage points) is…

I tried to reproduce the 1 in 871 figure but couldn't find the same envelope. My numbers are similar, however. Strangely, the number of reports of "sex offence - forcible" in 2014 is reported as 6723, not 6314 as stated in the article. Of these, 4435 ar listed as rape and 2288 as fondling. The offense is further defined in a footnote as " Any sexual act directed against another person forcibly and/or against that person's will". The "or" is important, of course. OK, so let's just agree that abou…

Just for fun, and so you will all understand this can happen on both sides. I published this piece back in September of 2015. It uses "comparative advantage", a well established concept in Economics, to help understand why women are a minority in STEM fields. I had been using women in STEM to help illustrate the principle of comparative advantage to first year economics students for years. http://www.universityaffairs.ca/opinion/in-my-opinion/male-female-imbalance-in-stem-comes-down-to-economics…

Of course, but that works for medicine and law as well. Women have entered those fields to the point where they are now at parity or better in law and med schools. Does anyone believe the reason this has not happened in engineering is due to the crusty old male engineers being even more unwelcoming than the crusty old male doctors and lawyers were in the 60's and 70's? I don't think so.

I think Peterson is right where he says (at the end) that the greater variance in men's ability in math is not a convincing explanation for men's dominance in STEM fields. The problem is that while men form a majority of electrical engineers, they also form a majority of electricians. Plenty of women have the math skills to be an electrician. Occupational choice depends on something economists call "comparative advantage". It's not just how good you are at math that determines whether you will e…

Women who are good at math are more likely than men to also be good at other things - English, dealing with people, etc. So even with the same math qualifications, men are more likely than women to enter STEM fields because it's the only thing they are any good at. Here's a reference with a few cites, and some good comments although the formatting is a bit screwed up. http://www.universityaffairs.ca/opinion/in-my-opinion/male-female-imbalance-in-stem-comes-down-to-economics/

There's a word to describe people who still believe that the human mind is a "blank slate" and all that we are is determined by culture. The word is "childless". Steven Pinker (paraphrased)

The practice exists in order to encourage men to invest in their children. A woman has no trouble identifying her children as her own and will make great sacrifices for their welfare. A man never really knows if the kids are his own, and giving them the same name goes some way toward encouraging him to work on their behalf. They become part of "his" family.

"But for many men I spoke to – chosen because of their diversity, openness to dialogue, honesty and lack of overt disrespect towards women" Hmm. Which is why they all seem so apologetic. I could have suggested a few other men to talk to. How about a father who has lost his children in a divorce after a threat of an abuse accusation? And we could all go on.

The portion of the earnings difference between men and women that remains after correcting for occupation, hours worked, etc., is normally considered to be a (perhaps minimal) measure of the extent of discrimination. But, as the author points out, it could be due to other differences between men and women that are not measured in the data. Is this plausible? One way to check is to look at some of the other earnings gaps out there. There is a large earnings gap in the US between Jews and non-Jews…

Well of course. But if people are different, that means society can treat them differently. Right? Wrong. If you think people should be treated the same because deep down inside we really are all the same, then you are putting your normative beliefs in a position where they might be contradicted by the facts. Then, since you won't give up your normative beliefs, you have to start denying the facts. Bad. People should be treated the same. This is a normative belief. It does not depend on the fact…

The other possibility, of course, is that someone who is has been promiscuous in the past is a person who enjoys sex and really is more likely to consent to sex than someone who has never been promiscuous. We know this, but we don't allow defense lawyers to bring it up because in a "he says she said yes - she says she said no" situation, the technique is: a) really difficult for the witness to endure, so reduces the incentive to report rape, or b) more effective than it should be at instilling r…

She's missing something very important. If the reason behind all this is that she should not be getting pregnant, then she should have her tubes tied. He is not the only man who could get her pregnant.

I read the whole thing, and it gets better toward the end. No "social construction" shit - just ev psych. From the positive (i.e. factual) standpoint it's as good as anything you'll see, IMO. As for the normative side - we all make our own choices.

I came to this analogy myself, only I prefer to use John Knox, the founder of the Presbyterian church in Scotland. At one point in time the Scots were perhaps the most literate people on earth, because Knox believed that people needed to read the Bible for themselves, and not have it interpreted for them by the corrupt Catholic priesthood. Mens Rights groups want to figure out gender by themselves.

The position was a lab manager. I think (gasp!) that the study shows that the people who responded, both men and women, thought that a man would be a better manager. I think this is likely true of the larger population. You can call it sexism if you like, but it could also be that most people prefer to work for a man. Women are not always supportive of each other in the workplace - there are jealousies and grudges and slights that take up great stores of emotional energy. Men are more likely to …

I think the right response to this is that inequality is not a zero sum game either. A women is earning less than her husband because (let's say) they have decided it makes sense for her to spend more time at home with the children. Her husband comes home and says: "Hey honey! Guess what! I got a promotion today, and a big raise!" Does she say "You can't accept that! You're adding to the wage gap!"? Or does she say: "Great! Let's buy a new car!"?

This is actually quite stunning. "Then, to resolve any doubt that the respondents were far from representative of the nation’s college students, consider the facts buried in Tables 3-2 and 6-1 of the AAU survey.

No, of course not. It could be that gender dysphoria is the only thing, but years ago it manifested itself as catatonic schitzophrenia. I really don't know. I'm a parent, and my kids knew their gender long before they could say the word in spite of our gentle encouragement to consider the matter at a later date. So I have no doubt that a three year old with a penis could decide in her mind that she is a girl - with the same certainty that my kids knew who they were. I think it was Steven Pinker …

I had a fascinating conversation with a psychiatrist years ago. He pointed out that there are fashions in psychiatric disease. Many years ago there was a condition called "catatonic schitzophrenia". You might have seen it in a old movie - someone standing like a statue against the wall in an asylum. Nobody does this any more. More recently it was anorexia. Now its gender disphoria. So, yes. I think the ways that troubled folks act out are shaped and influenced by what they see around them.

A great movie that explores this theme is the original "Swept Away (by an unusual destiny in the blue sea of August). Do not, under any circumstances whatsoever, see the remake with Madonna. The original has Giancarlo Gianinni and Mariangela Melato (who is absolutely gorgeous and spends much of her time naked). The director (Lena Wertmuller) is female but this might be the most red pill movie ever made. Italian, with English subs. I've never see a dubbed version.
