You haven't addressed the thing I'm confused about. I can do things thoughtlessly and people thank me for being helpful. This goes against your statement that goodness cannot happen without just intent.

Is it evil as in intentionally malicious? It's possible to harm people without intending to harm them, in the way one can accidentally step on another's foot, or an eager arm hits someone's face- neither of these are assault

I think individuals simply shouldn't have that much influence over the brightest minds via having more money.

It'd be absolute career suicide for any researcher to have their work publicly bankrolled by Epstein or reveal to the public that their research was aiming for specific goals that Epstein was looking for.

If we want to make speculations of what research could be, I would like to speculate that research could be funded by society as a whole and its benefits go to society as a whole.

This is arguing semantics in the way that is being described as a humanities behavior in order to justify how science doesn't have the same or similar discussions.

I don't see this as that different compared to multiple opinions of how alzhimers functions or the multiple competing theories of many many fields of physics. There are even whole studies of mathematics that are derided by other mathem

Cops are not lawyers or judges, but cops can make your life hell totally legally. There are people who are forced to sign away their right to protest in order to be let out of jail for a charge that is totally dropped.

It says that on the books that you’re allowed to defend against excessive force, but they’ll still charge you for assault for bleeding on their uniform. (And then only retract this when the media outcry becomes too difficult to ignore.)

But overall UK probably still ranks as treating its basic citizens with better decency than the USA due to healthcare access among other things.

Maybe you just personally can’t stand opinions you don’t agree with without finding it yucky? I mean, I have also have a subset of opinions I find yucky, so that’s reasonable, I’m just confused that you want to comment about how you find it

> You lose your job if shown to be corrupt This is not true in computer science. There have been no major oustings following the literal suicide of a PhD candidate who had directly witnessed the corruption for themselves.

Why is gender studies unique in this category? It looks to be so broad as to apply to anything- memes, capitalism, gig economy, smartphones, etc.

Could you explain to me the logic linking racism as scientifically unsound today and the conclusion that gender studies will be considered scientifically unsound later on?

You literally just linked a craigslist job listing to show indeed that uber is just a choice and they can take great jobs elsewhere.

Didn't we already go through this line of reasoning during the industrial revolution? Didn't we already have our muckraking moments to show exactly why this line of reasoning is full of assumptions, totally devoid and dissociated

I would argue that beauty products catered specifically to kinky/extremely curly hair and deeper skin tend to be dominated by black women. (Issues to address: Ashiness of skin, undertone colors for foundation/concealer, hair needi

So I also googled "hire more men" and I got on the first page 'should schools be trying to hire more men' and the first return was 'small companies hire more men to avoid maternity burden'. So I don't know

> more economic freedom for top earning families to not require 2 incomes Isn't this not actually true? More families are unable to avoid needing two incomes.

It's fine to call out malicious behavior I'm just confused by the argument that a stupid decision from company A means that company B shouldn't try to make a good decision. I'm even more confused by the concept that comp

I mean I'm not even a nurse/not in childcare and I know about it, so it's certainly not fringe.

by TeaDrunk 6y ago
Equivalencies do exist. There’s a large push to have more men in fields such as nursing and child care.

Of course there is an issue when people miss the point and do stupid shit. That doesn’t mean we should stop trying to improve representation in one of if not the most fast growing, wealth-providing career fields. I’m utterly baffled by this

I don’t think this article was suggesting any solutions, so the second paragraph seems like a straw man argument. (I mean it’s literally a Wikipedia page.)

Yes, “don’t hire white men” is a much different policy than “please increase your funnel and hire more non white cis hereto men”. I would argue your previous employer more or less just misses the point of these things.
