I agree this is not his main concern, but it's surprising how much dictators care about public opinion, and how much they pay attention to the press, education, and culture. It's as if they knew their system was fragile, and they

The world is extremely complex and it's very hard to model in a lab or a computer. Economists due to this have a very hard job. Sometimes they get it right but it's not surprising their models have high errors of margin.

Good, did I deny this? I'm simply asking for proof and saying what has been provided in this thread is insufficient. By the way, lower salary doesn't mean "inferior", there are very high paying jobs, very stressful, that

True, although this is similar to what I described, I guess the distinction is purposely imbalanced and accidentally imbalanced. However I think the latter is less likely, the post I replied to originally mentioned doing this consistently a

I see why you may think that way, but I don't think you're right. I guess for you it's a given QA jobs are "inferior" to SWE jobs. I guess you believe the articles you linked proof women tend to get "inferior&q

You can sure share your thoughts, and I can share my thoughts on whether you're correct, I'm just pointing out it's not proven your personal experience proves discrimination is part of the explanation. None of those studies s

Obviously not, see my other comment. Anecdotal evidence is part of the evidence, it doesn't allow you to claim part of the explanation is your anecdotal evidence.

Hmmm yes, we can't just make universal rules out of personal experiences, this sounds very familiar.

At least partly means part of the explanation is what follows. Not that there's at least single case of what follows in the world. Do you realize how absurd language would be if what you claim is true? For example: - Is is true latino

The truth is that there are no studies (that I'm aware of) that research into whether there's sexism in QA. So the answers to your question are going to be filled with speculation.

You claim "at least partly" and then proceed to prove it with anecdotal evidence. You'd need to prove it with a study similar to the ones that send identical CVs to companies, just changing one thing, which is what they want

I don't agree with what he said and would never work for him, but what's the insult exactly and how has anyone been disparaged? Working for a company is a voluntary agreement between both parties, he just established his terms, if

There are many possible suggestions, why did you pick that one? Maybe the suggestion is that they would've eventually gained freedom, like all slaves in Western countries, and that in that alternate history, they would've fared be
