Almost all the examples are women?
- pknomad 4y agoCould you clarify the point of your statement?
- kerpotgh 4y agoDidn’t think it needed saying but only representing the perspectives of half the population doesn’t sound like a great way to make your point especially since these problems are not restricted to women.
- throwayyy479087 4y agoThe PMC class that this article is aimed at is represented correctly in this article. It's heavily female.
- neogodless 4y agoThe answer to your question is in the article.
- denial 4y agoThe last example is a man.
- xwkd 4y agoIt's a particularly responsible man, too. You'd think if they had some kind of insidious demographic agenda they would choose a different contrast. I think the only subtextual story here is the last line: >"He said that he owed his father for providing him with much of his personal finance knowledge and that friends from families who didn’t talk about money did not have as much financial literacy."
- staringback 4y agoReally makes you think
- olddustytrail 4y agoHad it been 5 men and 1 woman you wouldn't even have thought about it.
- msm_ 4y agoI don't know why you're downvoted. If they picked randomly there's around 21% chance of getting a distribution like this (4+ women) randomly. And 21% chance of getting 4+ men. This means that there's just about 58% chance that random distribution is "fair" with respect to race. But why focus on the gender. What about skin colour? Or maybe political preference? Do they have to be weighted to the average population too? This is of course silly - that's an newspaper article, not a scientific paper. Edit: my math was off, 12% instead of 21% (brain fog, it's 3am here). My point still stands.
