Because differential treatment between the sexes doesn't aggregate and self-amplify negative economic outcomes across generations to create distinct economic disparities between minorities?
- aaron695 9y agoSo not allowing women to vote won't affect the next generation and self-amplify the situation? Or is it the minorities bit, ie South Africa didn't have this issue?
- leereeves 9y agoFeminists have argued that differential treatment between the sexes has aggregated and self-amplified across generations, to the detriment of women. Why wouldn't the same be true of differential treatment to the detriment of men?
- ABCLAW 9y ago>Feminists have argued Do you? Because you're going to actually have to make this argument for me - I don't think I've ever seen feminists say that capital accumulation mechanics are the cause of misogyny.
- leereeves 9y agoNot capital accumulation, but social expectations. In this case, one obvious candidate would be that the stereotype that young men are more dangerous drivers creates a social pressure for young men to take more risks to prove their manhood. In this case auto insurance rates are both a consequence of the stereotype and a mechanism that imposes it on new drivers.
- ABCLAW 9y ago>In this case auto insurance rates are ... a mechanism that imposes [the stereotype] on new drivers. The argument for restricting discrimination on a gendered basis relies on the socially instructive nature of vehicular insurance to teenagers. That feels exceptionally weak.
- leereeves 9y agoOne of many factors. Movies and other fiction are no doubt the most powerful force communicating that expectation that young men should act like race car drivers.
