SmartMuffin 08/02/17 9:56:20 AM #122:	http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/08/01/gender-imbalances-are-mostly-not-due-to-offensive-attitudes/ I think a lot of this was directly inspired by numerous comments I made on one of his previous posts! Particularly this part: If women in these communities feel harassed more often, it’s more likely to be a result of gender balance than a cause of it. That is, if we dectuple the male-to-female ratio while holding the sexual-harasser-ness of each man constant, then each woman faces ten times more sexual harassment. My argument in his previous post was basically: "It may very well be true that libertarian events present a hostile environment for women - but this is a result of having an imbalanced gender ratio and an imbalance towards socially awkward and low status men. If you put 100 awkward male nerds in a room, tell them their only hope of happiness is to meet someone who share their values, then drop 10 females wearing badges that say 'I share the interests of awkward nerds' into the room, what on Earth do you expect to happen?" It's not that an imbalanced gender ratio proves sexism, it's that an imbalanced gender ratio leads to sexually aggressive behavior - which is commonly defined as equivalent to sexism. I think one potential solution here isn't just "yell at libertarians to be less sexist and shame anyone who makes a sandwich joke" but rather, stop having cultural memes that insist shared interests are required for romance. This is actually one area where the left-libs (foolmo) and the PUAs seem to agree. The trick to getting dates is to do the exact opposite of what most people tell you to do. Don't go to activity/belief based events hoping to meet "like minded people." Go to bars and ask out every woman in the bar. Even IF you strike out, at least it won't reflect poorly on your political ideology, and IF you get laughed out of the place, at least you're getting laughed out of some dumb bar (who cares) and not a libertarian conference (you probably do care) --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized - http://i.imgur.com/W66HUUy.jpg http://dudewheresmyfreedom.com/ <cite>SmartMuffin posted [p:884043834] in Freedom, L...
