| 2 | Who's gatekeeping the discussion?The fact that there’s so much disparity in discrimination depending on where in the world you look is exactly why that global stat shouldn’t have been used. It muddies the point by including data from countries where girls are much more discriminated against. The problem is mostly in western countries (as stated in the previous slide), so it seems weird and counterproductive to me to include a global statistic to try to support that point. Anyway, I really wasn’t trying to make a huge deal out o… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/01/23 03:59 AM |
| 3 | Who's gatekeeping the discussion?That’s a good point and I agree with it. The only thing I’m taking issue with is the specific global stat being used by OP because I don’t think it’s communicating their point well. Maybe I’m being overly nitpicky, but the science nerd in me looked at those numbers and immediately thought “That’s basically just the same number,” and I don’t think that’s doing OP’s post any favors. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/01/23 03:47 AM |
| 2 | Who's gatekeeping the discussion?That’s not what I said. I am talking specifically about how the scientific process works and what can and cannot be inferred from this kind of data. There is always a margin of error in every single study—usually an acceptable margin of error is 4-8%. What that means is that if you have a relatively very small difference in numbers, you cannot be sure if that difference reflects a real world phenomenon or if you’re seeing the difference simply because of the inherently flawed nature of data coll… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 13/01/23 12:07 AM |
| -5 | Who's gatekeeping the discussion?While these are all good points in general, I do want to point out that the difference between the number of boys out of school and the number of girls out of school is less than 4%. This is well within the 95% confidence level, which is considered an acceptable margin of error. These numbers are so close together that the difference is not statistically significant. In other words, when you factor in errors in data collection, these numbers are essentially the same and we cannot draw meaningful… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 12/01/23 10:00 PM |
