I just did a quick check and on average cleaners in the US are paid less than warehouse workers (and for that matter dishwashers). I also used to buy into the theory of male blue collar jobs disappearing until I saw all the well paid blue c

In the US, male nurses are highly valued. I am not sure why this is not so in Sweden. On the other hand, people are wary of male preschool teachers. These two fields seem to be equivalent in Sweden. In the US - Cleaners are not well paid. I

Your point is well taken. Apple got a few good blows back at Microsoft. When I first saw the title "Killed by Microsoft" I thought it was a list of products from other companies that Microsoft killed - not products from Microsoft

I hope your link is not correct! The Aug 2020 article is about real estate transactions at the close of escrow. Does that mean people are accidentally using Ethereum? Yikes!

If you remove the epistles, the old testament, and the apocrypha (meaning of questionable origin) you are left with 4 gospels of which 3 are nearly identical. This is what we have left of the teachings of Jesus. Many known gospels were remo

You have to remember that christianity back then was a state religion which was intended to support state order. Nobody was intended to understand christianity. When Constantine made christianity the religion of Rome he discovered that chri

I just realized what bothered me about the article. It assumes the entire relationship between men and women is purely transactional. It is not. I just reread the article and the woman is a stripper. It figures.

I agree that the whole article seems slimy. Having said that - for a short time in a young woman's life she is highly desired by men of all age groups. How can you take 50 year age range of of men who think they can (and should) get 5

I think the OP would agree that it was "early Asimov" but you can't blame the writing on that. The OP was making the point that his writing never improved. Having said that there were cringeworthy aspects of the first Foundat

I have to disagree with this. Many women want to have a family and will avoid careers that are not family friendly. This is still true today. But fixing those careers to be family friendly will benefit men as well as women. I went to an all

I have always found gender in German confusing. This gives a little more context. Of course in English we have a tiny bit of gendered nouns where we append "man" or "woman" to some job titles based on the gender of the p

If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, marry your best friend. Don't read these self-help articles. When I was young the pundits kept saying that love only lasts 2 years. I think this is because they had a shallow definitio

This was my reaction. Feel grateful for the time someone gives you. You might not be able to replace them when they move on - but that should make you appreciate what they have given you even more. Are you better off muddling through when t

I also found this video helpful. A key point in the video is that when you are a student the reader is paid to read your paper. When you are not a student - the reader pays to read your paper (or book). Is it worth their time or money?

The reason why it always comes up is because programmers are relatively well paid yet nobody really understands what we do. Therefore you get these really silly memes such as if a factory worker's job is outsourced, you can just retrai

This might be my imagination - but I think you changed "Free Speech" to "Freedom of Expression." If so, this change makes a lot of sense. This change captures the intent of your article without confusion.

I see all the time in modern discussions that people use the same words but have different definitions in their head of what those words mean. It might be that in the UK when people say "Free Speech" they mean Bertrand Russell&#x2

Bertrand Russell was British. This is the difference between British law and American law. People often get confused with the definition of free speech since in America it refers to the 1st amendment which only applies to censorship by the
