> No, I don't buy this "I'm just making a neutral observation" schtick You're welcome believe what you like but I'm not sure why I should engage with you if you refuse to believe what I assert about my own position and if you insist on re-framing my words with an accusatory tone that wasn't there. I believe unconscious biases can and do have harmful effects yes. But everyone has them and it's common to let them influence our work. There's no shame in it and I certainly didn't make any value judgement against the author of this piece. > The housing market in SE England sucks if you're young and work for a living; doesn't matter if gay or straight, man or woman Similarly, I haven't made any statement remotely to the contrary. This is a strawman. > I reject the notion that we can't talk about problems unless literally every last little niche demographic is affected. And once again: this is not a notion that could be reasonably construed from what I said above. I hope you feel better after getting your emotions out but I would encourage you to re-read this thread tomorrow and ask yourself how much you were projecting and perceived qualm onto me. I hope you have a good night in any case. Goodbye
