Why Women Don't Invest in Crypto
- kwertyoowiyop 5y agoThe author could have ASKED some women this question. Then she could have written about their actual answers, maybe also comparing their answers to the answers of a few men.
- PaulHoule 5y agoI like this book https://www.amazon.com/Aftermath-Feminism-Culture-Representation-Identity/dp/0761970622 https://www.amazon.com/Aftermath-Feminism-Culture-Representa... which puts the smackdown on this kind of text which steals the language of feminism to promote self-serving narratives. I am also a fan of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Logic_of_Collective_Action https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Logic_of_Collective_Action which explains the agony of any "movement" that serves the interests of a large group (say 50% of the population.) The gist of it is that activism is a business. A small group can take a small amount from everybody else with a small amount of effort. For instance Virginia Slims can stage a fake "protest" to encourage woman to smoke easily. A group that authentically serves all women (or all men, or workers in general) faces terrible agency problems (e.g. leadership can steal a few percent of the money that goes by, and feed the rest back into fundraising)
