His rationale was solid: there is limited supply of women in the Bay Area so the market tends to favour women.
If there was an under supply of men, for example after a war, the same thing would be true of the few remaining men.
His mistake was apologising when I suspect he knows he is correct, or more broadly, not having sufficient opportunity or resources to leave an institution that would force him to retract a correct analysis of a market.
- SamoyedFurFluff 3y agoBut he didn’t say there’s a limited supply of women. He explicitly said the behavior of the women in the area is categorically worse than outside of it, which is wtf. Imagine being a female student and having your professor say that you suck as a dating prospect just because you live in the area?
- akoboldfrying 3y ago>He explicitly said the behavior of the women in the area is categorically worse than outside of it No. He did not use the words "worse" or "categorically" -- you did.
- SamoyedFurFluff 3y agoIt was very obviously he wasn’t saying it positively!
- akoboldfrying 3y agoI inferred that "difference" meant "difference in a worse direction" too, and so would almost anyone. But that doesn't excuse your false claim, which magnifies what he did say.

- nailer 3y ago> But he didn’t say there’s a limited supply of women. Yes he did: “You’ll be shocked by the stark differences in behavior of women in places where women are plentiful versus their behavior within artillery distance of San Jose and San Francisco.”
- HDThoreaun 3y agoThe behavior of people whose skills are in demand is always different. When has that ever not been true? The quote isnt that these people are behaving badly, just that theyre following their incentives.

If you're looking for women 25 and older, there's a higher ratio of women than men in San Francisco County than there are in California as a whole, and nationwide as a whole. People just hate to hear that the problem is them.
