- pottersbasilisk 10y agoActually the parent did, I think the reply is a legitimate criticism as the op also simply gave one anecdote then proceeded to strawman an entire populations gender.

- true_religion 10y agoI didn't mean to imply that they directly said that. It's simply that they took an anecdote and came to a really general conclusion about how good one gender was. They were talking 'as if it were inherent', as if when things were liberalised women would still be more productive than men in that particular class. Is it true? Probably not since any greater achievement is due to that women currently must work harder simply to be seen as equal. If the social situation is normalised, women won't simply work harder than men because they are "the productive half of the population".
- beaconstudios 10y agono they really didn't. The GP explained why Saudi women are more productive, and that it was a product of political circumstance. If the majority of men in a country are effectively on state-sponsored welfare then describing women as the "productive half of the population" isn't gender biased. It's describing the situation.
