Considering the order of magnitude higher rate of pedophilia among males compared to females, perhaps it's better that we protect children than we try to eliminate all discrimination.

- andrewclunn 4y agoIf that statistic we're true many people WOULD be okay with such a policy. We've moved from a "stereotypes are morally wrong because they're factually wrong," through "stereotypes must be factually wrong because they're morally wrong," and landed in "stereotypes are morally wrong, so it doesn't matter if they're factually right or wrong.". Your values are transient. The truth is not.

- mantas 4y agoIt's funny that somebody commented how if you change sex to skin color in your comment, suddenly it sounds very interesting. And then deleted it later. So, is it fine to apply group punishment based on sex? Shall we apply group punishments in other areas where there's correlation? IIRC certain sexual orientation also have disproportionally rates of pedophilia. Shall we highlight that and then ban them from anything close to children?
