While it might be the case that women who don't want nudes leaked shouldn't take them, that doesn't make the person who leaked the photos any less human-shit. Similarly, just because the person shouldn't have said assholish things doesn't absolve the doxxer of responsibility. Seems to me the situations aren't actually comparable. It's more like you post nudes on a public website and someone finds them and links them to your name. In that case, I don't feel bad about it at all. However, in most cases nudes are either leaked by hackers or prior loved ones severely destroying a trust. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| COVxy 07/02/17 6:30:07 PM #114 | Xeno14 posted... lets start with post 24. No this is incorrect, with a background inn cognitive biases you should be aware of the existence of group biases, particularly in women and how they might change result. But because you've shown you lack any background knowledge or are looking for to support a preformed conclusions, you can only imagine one way. This is not coherent. The idea being is that if the identity is stripped of the resumes, then identity cannot be driving the effect, and what must be driving the effect is the relative "quality" of the resumes, meaning how well a particular resume was geared toward the job. I don't really know what you mean by group biases and how 'they might change the result'. Xeno14 posted... Maybe things are taught that way to build up a base because experimentation to explore these things require more expensive equipment that isn't feasible to have at the level of school children, let alone allow them to work. I mean, building up of knowledge is key, yes. But that doesn't mean that you have to just teach facts devoid of their epistemology. The fact that low level science education is like this is the reason we have a bunch of laypeople who talk about science as if it is an infallible religion. Science by nature is uncertain and the conclusions are only temporary. You don't need equipment to teach about an experiment, and you don't need it to be overly complex to demonstrate how the conclusions were drawn. There's a better way than having students rote memorize factoids. The biggest issue with all this is that those who become teachers, especially elementary school teachers, are likely those who didn't like science that much, took the minimum and understood it minimally. Our teachers aren't really equipt to enact this kind of teaching. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

Pretty much no high school student is taught about the actual experiments that lead to any of the conclusions in the sciences. You do contrived 'labs' that involve following a lab book set of instructions and talk about a couple of famous experiments, at best. And the issue stems back long before high school. My first exposure to an actual biology paper was in college. My first real understanding of how scientific experiments incrementally add to the knowledge and how it drives theory was in college. And mostly through joining actual scientific labs, though the classes were much better in this respect also. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

Really? So you know exactly which experiments lead to the conclusion "the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell"? Scientific knowledge is inferred through experimentation, the conclusions are temporary and flexible. The experimentation is 'science'. Teaching a series of conclusions is not teaching science properly, and is almost entirely the way I was taught science growing up, up until my senior year in high school when I had a really great physics teacher. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

If you want to look at the entire conversation and actually look at the context of that post, it's clear I'm just talking about one of many ways that society can constrain free choice. I've always held a pretty consistent position that there are biological differences between the sexes that have the potential to create differences in career preferences, but that it's also important to realize how important socialization is as well.

I mean, I could certainly scrounge around and find plenty of literature denoting potential systematic biases in our society. But again, as I've noted, there are several reasons why this is a waste of time here. Mal_Fet posted... I read this same bullshit in a Marxist gender studies textbook and it was exactly as vague as how you are putting it here. "The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell" Mal_Fet posted...

| COVxy 07/02/17 12:23:12 PM #83 | Mal_Fet posted... COVxy posted...I think that there are intrinsic biological differences that can drive choice and preference. But I also think that it would be silly to not at least examine potential sources of societal infrastructure that may perpetuate the inequalities of the past. No, the issue is that we can go back and forth about the evidence all day long. The correlational nature of the data means that it can be interpreted in a million different ways. That's the primary issue with work in sociology, it's impossible to build causal claims from simple correlations. (Not to mention, the way you debate points is so black and white it's not even really worth it) However, I'm all for making systems better, and at the same time modifying the current systems so that if they were to be biased, that would be less biased. Science, for example, should not be taught in the systematizing factoids way. That's just shitty teaching, and should be changed on those grounds alone, but it's also something that has the chance to bias preferences at an early age. So, it helps on both fronts. You seem to be opposed to any efforts to change systems for the better, and reduce any potential bias, putting up your hands and saying 'well, we know there are biological differences, so this could all just be biological in nature". --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

I don't think that there needs to be a 50/50 split in a completely unbiased society, you are just projecting that position onto me because it fits with your schema of people who have said similar things to what I have said. I think that there are intrinsic biological differences that can drive choice and preference. But I also think that it would be silly to not at least examine potential sources of societal infrastructure that may perpetuate the inequalities of the past.
