Not to me; I parsed it as "she shouldn't leave so that she sets a good example for other women" or "by leaving, she's not doing enough to support the cause".

- watwut 13y agoStaying in job that treats you badly and pay less when you can get better one is not "setting a good example for other women". Your second parsing is what I find ridiculous. What is the cause here? Why should she sacrifice her career and personal happiness to your goal of diversity?
- jey 13y agoI agree that's ridiculous! But it doesn't seem ridiculous that she actually hears that message.
- makomk 13y agoIt is ridiculous - and yet you still see arguments like this, or like that article in the NYT which spun exposing a pyramid scheme as racist because most of their low-level distributors (read: scam victims) were poor ethnic minority individuals. Basically, using the facade of fighting for equality to screw over the very people who're supposedly being helped.
