If Mort Divine ruled the world

[The Ozzman]

Can't find a better thread for it: picked my mom up from the airport, and the first thing she told me is that her brother had genetic testing done and confirmed he was actually approximately 1/16th Jewish, which means I'm 1/32nd Jewish, and far more Jewish than Elizabeth Warren is Native American. So fucking happy right now that I can re-embrace the Jewish identity I had abandoned in my adolescence. Can feel my verbal IQ rising by the minute.

I thought Jews were white?

Wait until TB finds out. I can't wait for the memes.

He's been calling me a Jew ever since he saw my nose (which ironically came from my dad, whose own brother had DNA testing done and found 0% Jewish background despite their mother imagining it out of some kind of Zionist hope).

Aryan ubermensch don't require drugs, just willpower.

Hitler was hardly the spitting image of an Aryan ubermensch. Not to mention that he was a literal meth addict.

I guess you could say it was the 'final solution' to his fatigue

There's no proof it's due to biological differences. You're making an inference based on suggestibility.

The fact the woman has to take time off due to the pregnancy and the birth is a biological difference. Ability to nurse is a biological difference. I won't bother to get into average gender psychological differences because I can see that really going nowhere.

No, she isn't. Point out exactly where she says that the male-dominated demographics of STEM is the structural problem. She's suggesting that it's an effect of a structural problem.

And it made me think: Maybe if there were more women in math, the environment would be more friendly.
......
Many women, very talented women, were leaving mathematics. Many of them had to make this choice. For some women it is easier to deal with this environment; for others it is emotionally very costly. I think it is such a pity that we do lose talents because of this hostility.

That biological difference isn't the explanation for why more women are forced to leave STEM positions. It signals expectations within STEM positions that transform those biological differences into deciding factors; but the biological differences themselves aren't why women can't handle STEM positions. There's no reason why professionalism can't shape itself to meet these biological demands without sacrificing its gravity.

As for the quote you cited, she's saying it's an individual matter. Women choose to leave because of the large number of male voices; but the presence of those male voices isn't the structural problem. The problem is the demands placed on individuals that dictates whether or not they stay, as outlined in the Nature article. And because professionalism refuses to evolve, it tends to target women more harshly than men.

You're trying to make the presence of men into the structural issue, but that's not it; the structural issue is the workplace demands and their incompatibility with personal lifestyles. The attitude of women toward men in the workplace is a matter of personal preference, not the identification of the structural issue.
