I think a lot of potential technicalities like that are handled pretty well by this paragraph at the start:
> This document is not an exhaustive list of things that you should not do. Rather, consider it a guide to make it easier to enrich all of us and the technical communities in which we participate.
- klipt 9y agoThat's vague and hand wavey. Their definitions are ripe for abuse and I'm sure someone will create e.g. an app for female rape victims and argue that excluding male rape victims is fine because "you can't be sexist against men."
- soyiuz 9y agoYour hypothetical worry about "excluding male rape victims" is strongly outweighed by the needs of actual rape victims.
- klipt 9y agoYour assumption that male rape victims aren't "actual" rape victims is exactly the kind of sexism I was referring to.
- soyiuz 9y agoI did not gender my example. Check your logic. You wrote "I'm sure someone will create an app" etc. My point is that your hypothetical example of a potential future bias is outweighed by the preponderance of existing evidence today.
