I don't have all or any answers, but your comment made me daydream about a similar article talking about, say, how there should be more women in leadership positions in politics and business. And in the daydream you replied similarly, "But very tall people are underrepresented, as are the very short, the very fat, the very skinny. Pretty much anyone with a body unlike the average is underrepresented. Gender has very little to do with this."
I think the point was that you could argue your way out of seeing gender bias anywhere at all with your argument—it doesn't just apply in this crash-test situation.
- alanwreath 5y agoAnd your comment makes me think that you could argue seeing gender bias in anyones response. Not trying to be belligerent by the way (I know the response sounds like I am - but really I’m seeking genuine understanding of the line being crossed in the parents logic). I do see the value in deducing gender bias even when it’s not specific as I would assume that would be a hard requirement to pass. However, at some point it’s valuable to determine that the test was not constructed in a manner to come to any conclusions with regard to gender bias.
- yesenadam 5y agoSorry, I couldn't understand that, although I tried. i.e. not the first sentence nor the last two.
