Just set multiple reminders on your phone throughout the day to get up and do a little bit of exercise. A five minute walk, two minutes of jumping jacks, and three push-ups are better than nothing.

The difference with software engineering is even if you "fail" you usually have a nice pile of money to show for it. If you drop out of a PhD all you have is some cool stories and obscure knowledge.

You're kind of reinforcing my point that while there are things that incidentally help men, none of that is done in the name of "gender equity". For example you mention incarceration and studies show a "sentencing gap&

It's funny that on average women already live 5 years longer than men, but every "gender equity" initiative seems more interested in increasing that gap than decreasing it.

That's just standard MO for these think pieces. Anger sells. Corporations: sell things women actually buy. Journalist: why are these corporations so sexist against women? This makes me angry!

I thought if skin stretches slowly it just grows to cover the larger surface? I.e. stretch marks are only when skin is stretched too rapidly.

Right taxing negative externalities more would be a good thing, but I think that's kind of independent of whether the land is owned by a foreigner or a local?

But thankfully we don't live in a libertarian utopia where owning all the land means that you automatically run the world. The land remains in America subject to American law which is decided by American voters. The value of the land c

> sleep instantly when you lie down The secret to this is lots of exercise (and maybe good sleep hygiene). IME insomnia is mostly a result of being sedentary all day. Never had insomnia when camping and hiking multiple hours each day.

Sex and race are just treated differently by law. The supreme court wouldn't allow drafting only black people, but it does allow drafting only men.

by klipt 4y ago
Yes male nurses already get drafted into lifting the heavy patients, and dealing with the ornery patients, just because they're male, so it's no surprise many men nope out of nursing.

> Women aren't obligated to have sex with anyone in particular Who said women (or men) are? But who people choose to date is obviously a very strong source of societal pressure. Have you not heard of "sexual selection"?

I assume most of them have to, for at least some years, to pay off their medical school loans.

Then it seems the main enforcers of "patriarchal ideology" are those straight women who prefer to date men who are successful breadwinners over men who aim to be stay at home dads.

> women are uniformly incentivized against making the most money for their time possible What makes you assume men and women are working the same amount of time? Labor statistics show that men work more overtime and women are more likely

Working physicians is a trailing indicator. The leading indicator is MD students which have been majority women for years now.

* Breadwinning is associated with the male gender role, so men face more social pressures to be breadwinners than women do. (The proportion of men who e.g. stay at home to parent is much smaller than women, and it's likely fewer women

It's funny how "KillAllMen" trended on Twitter and that wasn't considered hate speech, but calling a woman a man is? Actually I guess that's consistent, if you think men are lesser beings who deserve to be killed, t

It's just nature's way of filtering out people who like sex but don't want kids. Prior to birth control, having a genetic predisposition toward liking sex was enough. In the future, most people will also have a genetic or cul

At least at big companies, fixing problems often requires good cross team relationships.

Maybe instead of playing violas like they're big violins, we should play them like they're small cellos? Might be ergonomically better?
