Star Flutist Sues Boston Symphony Over Pay Equity
- poster123 8y agoFrom the article: "Half a century after the introduction of blind auditions, in which candidates are heard from behind a screen, women make up just over 47 percent of players in American ensembles" I wonder how close the proportion has to be to 50% to satisfy the New York Times.
- chmaynard 8y agoYour comment is off-topic. The article is about pay equity, not gender diversity.
- poster123 8y agoThen the quoted sentence in the article is off-topic. In general, the NYT is trying to build a case for discrimination based on flimsy evidence of discrimination, as I pointed out.
- chmaynard 8y agoI notice many of your comments in HN have been downvoted. You might want to think about why that happens.
- DoreenMichele 8y agoGiven the content of the flagged to death comment, I will toss this thought out: I'm a woman and HN is an overwhelmingly male forum. I get quite a lot of downvotes at times on some subjects simply for representing the minority view. Sometimes, it isn't them per se. Sometimes, it's everyone else. (Though, granted, I have worked really, really hard at figuring out how to make certain points in a way that does fly here. So it can be done, but, wow, is it just tons and tons and tons of work.)
