Even AI knows more than some people

Why? That's not how the algorithms work. You're confusing the AI they are using as some complex thinking machine that is bound to become self-aware at any moment.

All its doing is capturing and scoring various criteria as it was programmed to do, and if its really advanced then possibly looking at the track record of the most successful candidates and washouts down the road and trying to match their qualifications/resumes with new ones coming in.

If it can't even see gender, as is not likely a data input, its just looking for those that score best on the criteria it measures. If that result happens to be that it sees that men are performing better on their PT tests and are otherwise equal or slightly greater in all other areas, it would result in an imbalance in result of most qualified applicants.

And it highlights the actual problem with equality and even fixing the so called “wage gap”. We’ve had centuries to create and polish metrics that favor men. It’s so ingrained that we don’t actually know how to create a more egalitarian metric yet. Even worse, every attempt has led to something like this.

There’s a big push to get more women in STEM fields, but it’s not really working. We don’t know if it’s because men in STEM fields are that misogynist, if gender roles subtly nudge women away from STEM fields, if women are inherently different in some way that makes STEM not attractive, or some combination thereof. Because STEM has so long been the province of men, we don’t even know where to start.

It’s gets harder to manage when feminist groups keep insisting that anything showing women aren’t exactly equal to men in all areas is misogynist. It has a chilling effect on the conversations that need to happen to figure the problem out and fix it.

Women and men are inherently genetically different. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. Saying anything different is actually transphobic. And anti-science as we’ve actually proven that men’s and women’s brains simply operate differently.

If we could quantify the differences, we could easily improve society by more efficiently targeting specific jobs to specific people. Even if we assume that being trans isn’t a real thing and even with obvious physical differences, the members of a specific gender aren’t homogenous carbon copies.

Amazon’s metric wasn’t eliminating women. That suggests that we need to determine what it was giving preference to and why it was discriminating against certain things to better refine it.

At some point we’re going to have to admit that there are things that men are better at and other things that women are better at and those things might line up with traditional gender roles and that’s okay. And that’s going to be the actually difficult part.

People vilify the word discrimination, but in reality, picking a new hire is 100% discrimination. You have to weed out all the people you don't think are good enough to do the job you want. Then you have to find a reason to pick one person over everyone who can do that job. It may not be gender based discrimination, or race based, but it is ALL discrimination.

Turns out Amazon has a lot of jobs that take physical labor. Turns out statistically and averagely, men are more likely to do well at physical labor than women. Unless they are feeding that AI data on the physical fitness of the applicants, it may have simply been going off of those statistics.

Even if it was fed physical fitness data, it may have considered "Well these people could do this job, but these others could do it better."

And if it was looking at maximizing the value the company got from it's paid labor, then it might have also factored in statistical data predictions on who was more likely to miss work vs those more likely to show up, and the possibility of becoming pregnant and missing work goes against women on that front, because AI's don't have morals, and don't care how anyone feels, it just solves the problem presented.

It’s simple. Feminism has made these women smell their own farts for decades and think it’s roses. They’ve been told women are just as strong as men and can do anything a man can.

So they look at a combat infantry role and say “I can do that, I’m strong and independent! I watched my boyfriend play call of duty, I got this”. And then when a real firefight happens, bullets (real ones) are flying from real enemies who want to kill you and aren’t going to wait for you to aim....then they start to panic and shit their pants, and go hide behind the nearest vehicle or large male soldier. This is basically what happened to Jessica Lynch in Iraq when the military vehicle she was driving got involved in a firefight. She panicked, tried to get away instead of fighting and crashed the vehicle, getting her taken prisoner.

And if a female combat soldier gets injured, instinctively 2-3 men will risk their lives to rescue her per their biological imperative. Now you’re risking the loss of triple the soldiers possibly all because of diversity and female empowerment through equal outcomes instead of opportunities.

Women should not be in front line combat roles, end of story. Women want the status and bragging rights to say they’re in the infantry but when the shit hits the fan they are useless. Paper tigers.

I haven’t seen any comment about women being banned from the military. We are talking about combat roles. Which is a big part, but not the only part. “Bullets don’t fly without supply.” “You will die without supply.” And whatever other lame ass sayings those box kickers tell themselves.

Testosterone is not needed to hold a gun, but it helps you carry all of your water, your food, your change of socks so your feet don’t rot, your spare ammunition, your gun, your body armor, and you’re a Corpsman/Medic so you’re also carrying medical gear. Or you’re a radio operator so who’s carrying the radio with a long as hell antenna whipping around in the wind? You are. For miles. Machine gunners have their rifle but they trade off carrying spare ammo, spare barrels, or the weapon system itself, as well as their rifle and ammo. Mortar-men do the same but with their heavy as hell mortar system.

It easily adds up to over 100 lbs. I weigh 215, but when I’m wearing my “combat load” I weigh around 260. But if I’m packed for extended ops I end up weighing around 310-ish.

If I get shot do you know what happens my brothers and sisters on patrol with me are now tasked with saving my life and carrying me to safety if I cannot walk.

I’m a Hospital Corpsman, I’ve put 260 lbs on my shoulders before(in addition to my med-bag and body armor.) it absolutely sucks. It’s miserable. Every step is a monumental challenge on flat ground. Except we are training in Djibouti and if I don’t carry him back to the “PB” who will?

I always told my guys, look I’m slow as fuck. But I’ll carry you. We both will make it out or we both won’t. Just hold on till I get there. It’s gonna be a minute.

Combat, patrols, hikes, ranges, all miserable. All carrying a lot of weight. Adding 100 lbs to my 215 body isn’t all that bad. Little under half? The pack is 4 feet tall, I’m over 6. Not that bad. But what if I was 5’5 and weighed 115? I’d be damn near carrying my own body weight.....and THEN someone screams out “doc man down!” Honestly, how effective do you think I’d be? From personal experience, from objective facts, and from common sense. The hypothetical small me would be utterly ineffective.

Also estrogen doesn’t correlate to musical ability. Non-sequiter.
