This has been fun and a good chuckle. I needed that so, again, thank you. Let me fix this for you for your own edification: "Please don't refuse to explain your position to me even though I've already proven I won't hear

>Since people are saying the article doesn't, and you are saying it does, it behooves you to demonstrate this. The article stands on its own and I don't have anything to prove to you. It's funny because while I don't

OK - Let me respond to all your biases: > He is saying that characterizing it as "reshaping mathematics" is likely an exaggeration No, it's not and actually reading the article points out how Hilda Geiringer helped change

>"there is a bit about her contribution which is over inflated" I guess your comment read as dismissive and disrespectful of the mathematician and the idea of equal opportunity on multiple levels. And while I don't think i

I think I did and from the way the commenter doubled down without acknowledging his disrespect of Hilda's contributions, I'd say my take was spot on. I'd say you missed the bias in his comment. Had he been more altruistic in

Why not both? Why not do a thing that has multiple benefits? If doing something to my advantage, also has a side effect that is also to my advantage seems like even more of a reason to do that something.

On the analysis side.

What consequence? What spectrum? I know words! Sex work as a profession would have to be legitimized, the road to any "normalization" would be a longer one. As you seem to jump from legitimizing and providing protections to "

Your comment "prostitution pays because we (collectively) look askance at it" Is directly equivalent to "sex work pays because 'we' look cynically/suspiciously at it" I summarized you correctly - you may n

Wouldn't this work to the benefit of Putin-Erdogan interests? The refugee situation is one of the polarizing issues in EU/Brexit politics. The Turkey-Syrian conflict pushes a new wave to exacerbate internal polarization within the

Isn't that an argument for recognizing sex work as a legitimate profession? Exploitation can happen in any number of professions up and down the value chain. It's one reason why we have corporate & labor law and why we don&#x2

You just said sex work pays because 'we' look cynically/suspiciously at it. Really? Sex work pays because people want a form of pleasure and are willing to pay for it. There is demand and some people are willing to provide su

Your comment is a tad snarky and strays off topic within the snark... But for real, why not recognize sex work as a legitimate profession?

Let's not go into black and white thinking. Saying the onus is societal/cultural or the onus lies only on the individual are both wrong. Environmental/cultural factors will play on individual decision making - this doesn&#x27

I think you've misperceived PBS and what this effort would be. The funding would be _ public _ - as in crowdsourced. If the effort were non-profit like PBS it would be eligible for grants and funding from government(s) but it would not

What a horrible, biased analysis. Please cite your legal resources that would contradict the highest court in the UK who unanimously agreed that this was, in fact, illegal.

I think the replies from toasterlovin (below) summed it up on the diff between PR and ads so I'll leave it at that. The root of what you are asserting is that is ANY review is corp PR. Which is partially true - a review (good or bad),

LOL. I don't think you're being completely honest. From your reply, it would appear you are also upset and want to defend someone who's upset about an article that has a gushing review of an Apple product. Apple is just one o

The assertion by the original commenter was that this article was an "advertisement" - meaning paid. While the article may well serve as a function of marketing because some pro photographer got a loner from Apple and wrote up a g
