Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men

by Caroline Criado Pérez

And the author is incurious as to why.

Unimportant is an incorrect category. Less important is the correct distinction.

Elite women who benefitted from slave labor were somehow motivated to undermine the Confederacy and therefore purposefully end slavery?

One of these things is not like the others

What is the difference in risk of life altering or life ending injuries between the two?

Being reminded of that isn’t productive to the objective of a color/gender blind society.

Which is why a strident identity focus on other groups is a bad idea.

Vox is not reliable. The data shows a similar shift among women. It also excludes the fact that Hillary had demonstrated her incompetence between 2008 and 2011.

This entire issue. New info. Interesting. Should influence policy deliberations.

Chicago had this in the 70s

Cherry picking

The story doesn’t mention LA.

So what is the paid work differential

Apples and oranges

Our two tests

So the solution is to warm things up so women are comfortable and the men walk around in thongs? Not a great solution to a difficult problem.

Or female bodies are less tolerant of the forces required for working in the field.

Smaller bricks means more mortar and more effort in construction.

Leaning awful hard on a single source

Which method produces more food?

Might there be a value differential between production farming and subsistence or sub-production level farming?

2 disqualifying factors

What amplification. Presume a 50/50 split is desirable and accurate. Something that is 33% more likely will happen 66.5% of the time. The jump to 68% isn’t that large.

Were the top performers actually diverse in the first place? If the top performers in a field are all women then why would the software think men would comprise half of all candidates?

100% agree

Home run

!!

ThinkProgress is a biased source and not a news source.

Awful lot of “potentially “ being used in this book. Not saying that it isn’t accurate but additional statistical context would be helpful.

Yes. My other comments aside. Yes.

Or might men have been paid less in pursuit of that objective. Lots of gross assumptions.

Will the resulting increase in GDP be sufficient to justify the expenditure?

So the additional spending would not create sufficient revenues to cover.

Not true when all variables are covered.

Doesn’t understand US taxes and deductions. It’s advantageous to file jointly.

The income is combined. Not stacked in the way the author describes.

The author’s argument only works by arbitrary assigning the woman’s income as the last dollar taxed rather than the first dollar taxed.

Unqualified. Corrupt. Proven record of incompetence. That’s why people didn’t vote for her. I’d add in too far left/progressive/socialist.

I’m stopping reading here. Trump has many flaws. But he isn’t a failure by any reasonable definition. And in retrospect his first term was largely successful. Including Covid. I voted for Gary Johnson in 2016 because I found Trump and Clinton to be unqualified. Both were morally unqualified. Clinton’s record is one of active incompetence in public office while Trump merely lacked any record in public office.
