Strange that you use the word antidote. Did this article seem particularly poisonous? I'm not seeing it.

Interestingly, Plankalkuel was predated by Ada Lovelace's notes on calculating Bernoulli numbers. Then for Lovelace, lets go back even further. Mathematics itself already contains the base principles that enable the formalisms of lamb

If you think the reason is incredible, it is precisely your incredulity and the reasons for it that are in question. Even if reason is a concept that is outside of human control, you're still attempting to apply it to this article. It

You've used a lot of emotive words - like the article seems "fishy" or that you don't believe this article due to "experience" and now that believing this account defies "rudimentary common sense". I

The article states its reasoning, you choose not to accept it. What reasons would you accept?

So your argument is that only one man (at a time, in a lifetime? unsure here) will attack a woman for this? Earlier: > Nobody gets harassed because they're good at their job and go out teaching others etc, etc. The mental gymnasti

For me the problem is that gozur88 "just doesn't believe" this, that the article seems "fishy" and that "experience" tells gozur that these things just-don't-happen in the post 1850 world. These are

So to draw a parallel to the current argument, are you claiming that no woman has been abused by a man simply for doing a better job than them?

So the older a person is, the more their experience is likely correct? Turns out a lot of old people (the majority) oppose gay marriage. Do you feel like they are right? Since there seem to be some people who believe the account in this a

What evidence do you have that makes you disbelieve this?

But the article states what it thinks the reason is. You clearly think that reason isn't plausible. Could you help me understand what reasons you would find plausible?

In Australia this isn't the case - the infrastructure doesn't service a lot of the land area.

>Experience. There are tons of women in the workforce. It's unexceptional to the point you wouldn't even notice, even in tech. Interestingly, noir_lord noticed and you can see that in his comments on this article. I have the i

What are either of those statements based on?

Is this going to be another article that Hacker News tosses on the pile of "chose not to believe"? Here's hoping this is finally the one that makes people realize that these things are happening irl.

The irony is delicious when you demand data to back up the negative assumptions I make about your motives and mental faculties. I’d provide more evidence, but it is expensive. I don't have a gender studies grant or anything to pay for

Could you provide data that clearly indicates that the imbalance in film representations of women causes no harm? My position has always been that you've assumed this article is useless without providing any evidence. I trust the arti

I'm not dismissing a quantified claim without evidence, so why would I provide data? Interestingly, after the phrase you quoted out of context, they don't mention race again. Also they clearly aimed to discuss the claims made aga

I find it kind of confusing that you seem to be posting articles, claims and references to funding that can’t be found in the article, or don’t seem related to the article. For instance, you’ve just now made the claim that there are “many”
