no need artificially manipulate the evolution of the job market
Interesting point, though I consider things like "stop being sexist assholes" not to be an artificial manipulation of the evolution market but just basic civilized behavior which benefits men and women alike.
- gavanwoolery 13y agoI agree - there is no reason to be sexist. But the author's message is not just about sexism, it is about reverse discrimination. It's one thing to fight against inequality. Its another to demand that the scales be tipped in your favor.
- berrypicker 13y agoIs opposing affirmative action programs, which have historically proven to be largely failures, being a "sexist asshole"? I'm looking at this from a purely economical perspective because I really do not care about what people do, and I do not see a good reason to try to manipulate the employment market instead of society's view on employment.
- MartinCron 13y agoI can't speak for everyone but I personally don't consider having different opinions on affirmative action programs being a "sexist asshole". If you really need examples of actions that do qualify as sexist assholery, let me know and I'll dig some up. They aren't exactly hard to find.
