Explain it? You take offense by the "don't need so much money" or the "supplemental earners" thing? The latter is presumably simply a current statistical fact?

Explain it? You take offense by the "don't need so much money" or the "supplemental earners" thing? The latter is presumably simply a current statistical fact? Don't need so much money - well I explained it. And as I said, any women who feels she needs more money is free to earn it, even today, and even in IT.
Earning more money usually comes at a price. I don't understand why you find it offensive to assume that some people have different priorities?
Women in IT: why do you think the recent "geekettes Hackathon" in Berlin felt it necessary to offer Yoga classes alongside the Hackathon? Is it a bad thing?
- TheZenPsycho 14y agoIt's problematic that you are using dubious uncited statistics to make broad statements about the status and desires of over 50% of the human population. You may as well say "Jews make plenty of money" or "Negros are happy to work for free", for how intelligent it makes you sound.
- Tichy 14y agoContrary to you I actually provided a citation, you just refused to look at it. Or have you? So I am curious about your definition of "dubious uncited statistics". Do you believe my statistics are wrong, and what makes you think so (citations?)?. The only thing that's dumb is arguing with a psycho. I guess we are done, unless you can provide any substantial arguments at all.
- TheZenPsycho 14y agoYou provided a link to a shitty looking book on amazon. That doesn't make you credible.
- Tichy 14y agoMost research papers look pretty shitty. So you dismiss the argument because it isn't a fancy infographic? What exactly do you want, or what would be a credible source for you? The book provides more citations, in case you don't want to take the author for his word. In any case I take it you didn't read it (the free Kindle intro). I found another link today that could be relevant to you: http://lesswrong.com/lw/72d/strategic_ignorance_and_plausible_deniability/ http://lesswrong.com/lw/72d/strategic_ignorance_and_plausibl... (Less Wrong on Strategic Ignorance). I guess it's easier to just cling to feminist ideology than to check facts...
