   I believe you are willfully misconstruing my position instead of trying to engage in the most charitable interpretation. You original comment which has now been flagged suggested that 0 economists took the issue of the gender gap serious. B

   This denialism is not compatible with the facts. While part of the gender pay gap can be explained by the factors you describe, not all of it can. This unexplained part is often assumed to be (largely) due to discrimination. This unexplaine

    I agree partially. It is true that philosophy cannot entirely keep up with scientific and technical developments, which is not surprising given the amount of resources that flow into philosophy compared to the money spent on STEM fields. Th
