Is "wife" not a role as well?

Are you suggesting that hiring less qualified women for the sake of diversity would help to dispel the notion that women are less qualified, and hired for the sake of diversity?

Fun fact: White Nationalists define themselves as a movement to end the genocide of white people. Therefore, if you oppose White Nationalism, you support the genocide of white people. That's how definitions work, right?

"...one of your most valuable business resources is your accountant" Do you consider that statement equally objectifying? If not, why?

by ebfe 13y ago
Everything you've said is equally true of any hiring system. It makes sense why employers are drawn to the one that provides them with the most value, while also carrying the added benefit of also being the one that isn't systema

Do you ask to see a copy of their marriage license whenever someone introduces you to their wife? For tens of thousands of years, it was possible to marry someone without recognition from the US government. I suspect it still is.

If someone believed that they could attain a smart, capable supporter without offering those legal protections, however, then you agree that it would be rational for them not to provide those protections, right? Not to mention the sizable p

What advantages would marriage provide over a non-legal partnership? The latter seems to carry all of the benefits of marriage without any of the risks.

"X isn't perfectly Y, so let's stop working towards it in favor of working towards something that's even farther from Y!" is equally absurd.

If you really believe that the public considers watching women hula-hoop or a rug that says "meritocracy" to be sexual harassment, please give some thought to the possibility that you might be living in a bubble.

I love this line of reasoning. X isn't perfectly Y, so let's get rid of it in favor of something that's even farther from Y!

>This is going to hurt Horvath more than it hurts GitHub. Really? You'd rather pay out a $250,000 settlement than incur an increase in the number of negative comments you receive on the internet for a couple weeks?

Oh_sigh's comment is long and makes a number of points, all of which could be verified. I'm inclined to believe it.

That's really interesting, I'd never heard of this before. Can you give us an example you've heard of a redefinition of racism that would exclude whites from being racist?

Notice how that article uses the term "indirect discrimination", rather than just "discrimination"? That qualifier is there because without it, most people understand "discrimination" to mean intentional preju

Imagine for a second that Lebron James were to create a Kickstarter for a cookbook he wanted to make, which was funded to the tune of $100,000. Obviously, much of this money would come from people who didn't really care about the su

How about this: So, you're saying that aside from the numerical value, a set of people with an average testosterone level of ~500ng/dL are exactly the same as a set of people with an average testosterone level of ~20? To deny that

This user quite clearly refers to people in regards to their sex, rather than their gender. You're making the mistake of assuming that he cares about gender, when sex is what he uses for his classification of male or female.

by ebfe 13y ago
He doesn't refer to gender, he refers to sex. Please educate yourself on the difference between the two.

The user you're referring to made no mention of gender.

Very few people who discourage their son from wearing a dress or taking up ballet do so in an attempt to enforce some grand imperative of how things should be. Rather, parents encourage certain traits because they believe that these are

There's a distinct difference between disapproving of men who dress as women and believing that they shouldn't be allowed to do so .

Ah, that makes sense. Now I understand why Julia is created and used mainly by women, and men who work in majority women environments find /sys so intimidating.

by ebfe 13y ago
I think you're confusing the sociological/social justice definition of gender with the literal one. In the case of the latter, sex and gender are synonymous.

Would you agree that shaming lesbians is a form of misandry, hating women who act man-like?
119.
by ebfe 13y ago
Which is an utterly meaningless term nowadays. I'd love to hear you try to define it in a way that wouldn't classify every human interaction as objectifying.

Of course not. Acknowledging that two things are the same in some ways does not imply that the two things are the same in all ways. Don't be intentionally obtuse.
