Look, it’s not helpful when making the case that white males (which I am, BTW) are being discriminated against and that we should feel bad about that and fix it

Look, it’s not helpful when making the case that white males (which I am, BTW) are being discriminated against and that we should feel bad about that and fix it when folks start saying “but actually women aren’t as smart at the high end as men and so…”
- twofornone 5y agoThen how are we supposed to argue against the false claim that discrimination is the primary driver of demographic underrepresentation if this is the true cause?
- SamReidHughes 5y agoMy target demographic is people who can distinguish between the phrase you gave, "women aren't as smart at the high end as men" (which is false or even nonsensical) and the premise of my prior comment and the matter under dispute, that most smart people are men (which is true) and that the m:f ratio increases as you raise the bar (which is also true). These are logically distinct.
