Everyone is up in arms about female discrimination, when really it is the lower-class men who are discriminated against the most.
- rayiner 10y agoDoes that criticism make sense given that the title of the article and opening paragraphs talk about the class disparity, and only get to the major gender disparity in the middle of the article?
- tristor 10y agoI'm not the person you're replying to, so I can't say what they were thinking when they wrote their comment. I'm choosing though to read their comment as referring to the larger social context, rather than this specific article. I would note however that this article is classified under the category "Gender" in the Harvard Business Review.
- emodendroket 10y agoI'm going to take the outre position that both gender and class discrimination are bad.
- clarebear 10y agoThe differences in callback rates were not statistically different between the women and the lower class men. The only statistically significant different was higher class men and everyone else.
- hn_throwaway_99 10y agoI didn't do the stats on it, but just looking at the graph in the article 5 times as many lower class women received callbacks than lower class men. What was the p-value on that?
- PeterisP 10y agoInstead of "5 times as many" look as "a difference of 4 samples" - in an environment where the expected sampling noise is something like +/- 4. "Statistically insignificant" means just that - this data is not sufficient to conclusively say if lower class women receive less callbacks than lower class men; maybe they do, maybe they don't.
