It's about society. I'm speaking about the majority of western civilization _currently_. Men seem less concerned with improvements/collateral damage and more concerned with success/creating/succeeding. Women are raised more social and won't throw everyone under the bus to achieve their goals. What is the first thing a man says to another? "What do you do for a living?" it's about success and ranks. What's the first thing a woman says? "Hi! Where do you live/Hows your day" It's about community. Both of these mindsets are firmly ingrained in us from childhood.

Those questions are totally orthogonal situations, unless a woman would literally meet someone for the first time and ask how they've been.

Be careful about these observations - they got a guy fired from Google. Apparently even if they are factual observations they aren't allowed. Of course Men and Women are different; but admitting so - perhaps as part of a explanation for non-equal outcomes brings trouble.

  It's OK to note differences between groups; you just have to make sure you're saying positive things about the lower-status group, not the higher-status group. It's a part of victimhood culture.

  That's not even close to what happened. Neither side did what you said, your post is a complete bold-faced lie.

    It's how I perceived the things that happened. Perhaps he takes his case to court and we can see what the court says about the ability to fire him over what he said. Google fired him for making a manifesto about gender differences, political differences and Google's own echo chamber issue. That's not a lie.

      >Google fired him for making a manifesto about gender differences, political differences and Google's own echo chamber issue. That's not a lie. Google fired him for creating a PR nightmare because he wrote a shitty manifesto that misrepresented a few cherry-picked Wikipedia articles. Google has been nothing but conservative lately, this whole "They fired him because they're liberal!" thing is absolutely incorrect.

According to article, putting manly logo on eco product made men more likely to be eco. It does not sounded to be lack of care on the men side, but worry about social stigma and bad feeling from doing something gender inappropriate. Put in dark colors and voila, men care. It is not about men being bad. We don't need to force that stereotype into every single discussion.

>It's about society... Men seem less concerned with improvements/collateral damage and more concerned with success/creating/succeeding. Men are the ones who are inventing and implementing all of the big society level improvements in carbon footprint. Who invented the LED light bulb? Who are the ones on the cranes installing energy efficient bulbs in streetlights all across the country? Who is installing all those solar panels on roofs? What's the gender ratio of engineers at Tesla inventing the next generation of low carbon vehicles? Men are doing a great job of reducing the population's carbon footprint. They just aren't doing it in the way women are.
