I work in STEM (science/engineering) and 60% of my office is female.

The only sexism I see is that my boss doesn't like sending women to do field work.

What sexism keeps women out of tech fields? Do tell.
People are trying so hard to avoid hiring women, that almost every recruiter that's advertised within our office has said "we can boost your woman and minority hiring numbers" as an enticement.

Have also had clients ask if we can help them find what works to hire more women. We turned it down, tho. I dont' believe in enabling sexism.

Evolutionary psychology is just the most obvious example of science’s flaws.

What's funny is that in reading that column, it is somewhat apparent that she didn't even take the time to read Mr. Google's paper.

I mean frick. It's not THAT long!

And, she only responded to ONE point held in the paper which was not his primary point in the first place.

Given her level of education, what I just described can best be described as.........she's a liar.

I also note that while she mentions all the supposedly flawed science, she mentions no science that supports her view. She merely makes statements that are intended to be accepted as fact.

She's a leftist. Ideology IS fact.

ETA: Not so very different from the Catholic Church during the medieval era when you come right down to it.

The author of that article just couldn't help herself, could she?

quote:

Of course, this apparent inferiority never stopped Jefferson from repeatedly raping his wife’s half-sister, Sally Hemings, herself a product of rape.


How is this relevant to the issue at hand? I thought we were debating men and women having evolved different types of proclivities

She also apparently fails to see the irony in denouncing Damore's science as "less objective than we'd like to believe,".....and then goes on to cite her own science to try and prove her points about sex discrimination.

quote:

Last month, a study of women in astronomy and planetary science led by University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign professor Kathryn Clancy found that women of color especially suffer from hostile working environments. In June, I contributed to a Nature Astronomy feature on gender discrimination in astronomy. As someone on Twitter reminded me last week when I posted a new paper on particle physics, because the authors of the paper are women, based on the results of one featured study in that Nature Astronomy issue, we can expect 10 percent fewer citations.


Ohhh, so YOUR science is objective. But if it's science that you don't like, it's a product of the patriarchy.

She's supposedly a scientist, but this is what she's writing about. She sounds insufferable.

Orthodoxy and dogma are not limited to religion.

And the secular versions treat heretics just as bad as the religious. In today's world... worse.
