Why? Assuming the answer is 'yes', what does this change? Assuming the answer is 'no', what does this change?
- geofft 9y agoIf the answer is "yes," it changes my belief in the narrative told in the Glasgow post, that everyone was okay with it and the only people who have problems are present-day outsiders trying to retrofit an agenda where it didn't fit. (In particular, it changes my opinion of the outsiders - if they were observing an actual problem that other people weren't noticing, and it holds up to scrutiny, that's now a credit to them.) If the answer is "no," that changes my belief about whether today's cultural norms against sexist workplaces are an objective good. (Both of these changes would be small but measurable updates.)
