Please document your judgement.
I'm usually one of the first ones to detect horse shit in women-victimizing papers, usually by matching statistics with reality. For example, given that I've seen many (if not almost all) women in my programming environment being promoted to "managers" earlier than men, statistics about women being paid less in IT "for the same experience" get discredited by the fact that a "manager with 1 year of experience" is not the same when he's had 7 years as a developer under his belt or when she's 24 years old. Studies rarely specify "with the same experience in the current and previous job". Besides the fact that studies are inherently false if they don't explain why women get promoted a lot a lot a lot in the reality I'm witnessing.
So you see, I'm open to be on your side. Just in this case, I didn't detect how this study could be biased. Please document, thanks.
- scottlocklin 11y agoThe premise that coauthors on papers make equal contributions is in itself grossly biased. They don't. I'm coauthor on papers I've never even read. If you were looking at the class of Scott Locklin on papers I'm named on, assuming everyone is supposed to get equal credit, using the methods they did, I'd be considered to be unfairly not getting enough credit, because there are less of me than everyone else and most of the papers I'm in, I do not deserve equal credit. The proper comparison class is, do principal authors get equal credit for their contributions, normalized to their proportion in the population.
