I found this example exceptionally difficult to read and comprehend.
I recognise that this is known as the "Stable Marriage Problem", yet I still feel an aversion to marriage being defined as between a man and a woman (and further, than a man must propose to a woman). So, this scenario cranked my unhappiness up to 11. I was not able to follow it at all beyond "male unhappiness".
Surely it is possible to write this example in a way which recognises diversity of sexuality and does not need to play up to sexist stereotypes - employees looking for work and employers should work fine.
- jacquesm 8y agoIt's just an example, not a political manifesto. Feel free to copy the comment and replace the words you object to.
- throwaway1982x 8y agoIf it's an example and not a political manifesto, then perhaps it could be written without misogynist and heteronormative (i.e. political) undertones. It's not an illustrative example because we have to assume an unrealistic misogynist take before it even starts to make sense.
