SHOVE YOUR AWARD CEREMONIES

When not publicly weeping at their own sheer brilliance, the attendees of these various events spend their time on stage berating whoever it is that you’re meant to berate these days. At the moment, it’s Trump, usually – a man who belongs entirely to the same world as these actors, actresses and musicians, with their self-same dependence on ratings, reviews and saleability. Perhaps it is familiarity that helps to breed this particular contempt – perhaps they remember that everyone turned a blind eye to far worse things than bluster about grabbing people“by the pussy”in the not-too-distant past. But then, the whole acceptance speech has mutated into an ordeal so transcendentally embarrassing that no amount of hypocritical posturing could ever, really, come as a surprise.

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.

I think part of the problem here is that there is the data sin the Nature article and there is a single story from a person in a different country reporting her perspective on a problem that isn't present in the US. Again, I can't speak to the data in Brazil. But the data from the US does not in any way indicate that women are dropping out of STEM because of "the culture" or whatever, at least, not anymoreso than men. There's always opportunity cost with time, and some women place a higher value on more fully engaging in motherhood. That does not indicate that STEM has a problem (unless you're an antihumanist).

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.

Turning specifically to Dr. Araujo, the entire article is about closing a gender gap caused by how the females in STEM perceive males in STEM. She notes in one paragraph out of the whole thing the difficulty of having children and staying in, but doesn't attribute the gender gap to that, even noting that she was able to take time off, while men typically don't. I on the other hand, do attribute the gap in the US to having children, based on the statistics showing that the percentages of women switching to part time or dropping out of work entirely explains the gap in engagement, rather than, switching from STEM fields to non-STEM fields, which is what we would expect if there was some unique issue in STEM.

McWhorter is on fire. Pointed out the religious nature of SJWism and dragged Michael Brown in for good measure.

Woman filmed grabbing MAGA hat from man at restaurant faces deportation.



Rosiane Santos, 41, was recorded on video swatting the hat off the man’s head and later told police she didn’t believe he should be allowed inside a Mexican establishment while wearing Donald Trump’s MAGA refrain, according to a report from the Falmouth Police Department. Santos, who was intoxicated, was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and simple assault and battery – both misdemeanours – and was escorted from the restaurant.

On the way out, she hit the man a final time and swatted at his hat. Santos’ bail was set at $40 (£30) and she was released. She later plead not guilty.

Now, Santos – who is living in the US without legal documentation – also faces possible deportation.

we find asymmetries in individuals’ willingness to venture into cross-cutting spaces, with conservatives more likely to follow media and political accounts classified as left-leaning than the reverse.

This is consistent with liberal's inability to accurately predict conservative views compared with conservative's ability to accurately predict liberal views.

i get why someone might pull a MAGA hat off someone
hell, i might even do it at some point
but for an illegal to do it is pretty fucking ballsy
like she did it while looking at the camera,
and she seems to be doing it actually because the camera is there
and now she's facing deportation
was she trying to get deported??

I think the point is a bit oversold in this article but:

I was just commenting to Ozz the other day about Metal not really aging. I feel like that about most things since the early 80s. If anything has aged poorly it's some gaudy shit from like the late 90s to late 00s, but at the same time no one is going to laugh at you too hard for some isolated aesthetics from then either, and maybe not even going back further. Maybe we really have mostly run out of completely new, valuable aesthetic ideas barring some new paradigm?
