Then we have to narrow down what YOU think feminism is.

2017-12-16 23:08:10 UTC

i provided a definition

2017-12-16 23:08:31 UTC

ok

2017-12-16 23:08:37 UTC

it's not needed

2017-12-16 23:08:46 UTC

Wait, we can use dictionary definitions now?

2017-12-16 23:09:00 UTC

I thought the whole "but that's not racism" argument invalidated all dictionaries.

2017-12-16 23:09:10 UTC

I don't make that argument daniel

2017-12-16 23:09:26 UTC

don't strawman me daniel.

2017-12-16 23:09:35 UTC

don't true scotsman then

2017-12-16 23:09:38 UTC

how about that?

2017-12-16 23:10:26 UTC

no true scotsman doesn't mean what you think it means.

2017-12-16 23:10:45 UTC

strawman doesn't mean what you think it means

2017-12-16 23:11:19 UTC

I have qualified "feminism" as the same thing throughout this discussion

2017-12-16 23:11:28 UTC

therefore: no true no true scotsman

2017-12-16 23:11:29 UTC

Do you agree with the oxford dictionary definition of feminism? @mรฉep

2017-12-16 23:11:33 UTC

yes

2017-12-16 23:11:53 UTC

Alright. So you're an equal rights advocate

2017-12-16 23:12:01 UTC

so you're really an egalitarian

2017-12-16 23:12:20 UTC

or that lol

2017-12-16 23:12:37 UTC

2017-12-16 23:12:39 UTC

2017-12-16 23:12:52 UTC

2017-12-16 23:12:57 UTC

2017-12-16 23:12:57 UTC

2017-12-16 23:13:06 UTC

k

2017-12-16 23:13:12 UTC

@mรฉep So you don't agree with most people who call themselves feminist now?

2017-12-16 23:13:13 UTC

so they can send 2 identical resumes

2017-12-16 23:13:20 UTC

I lov e being able to sleep my way up the ladder

2017-12-16 23:13:28 UTC

2017-12-16 23:13:44 UTC

@Durtle02 the burden would be on you to prove most feminists disagree with me i guess, I don't really care what "most people" think

2017-12-16 23:13:53 UTC

oh fuck off

2017-12-16 23:13:57 UTC

Because it looks like we'll have to fire quite a bit of women from comfy jobs.

2017-12-16 23:14:07 UTC

@DanielKO nope, I am in favor of everyone acknowledging their biases, then it won't be a problem

2017-12-16 23:14:21 UTC

@DanielKO ๐Ÿ‘

2017-12-16 23:14:37 UTC

Okay, so you don't want gender quotas?

2017-12-16 23:14:50 UTC

let's force women into garbage collection and shitcleaning guys

2017-12-16 23:14:55 UTC

since

2017-12-16 23:14:56 UTC

If the majority of feminist were identified in modern day they would be classified as a anti male group

2017-12-16 23:14:57 UTC

muh equality

2017-12-16 23:14:58 UTC

you do realize that the methodology for proving subconcious bias is very much flawed and has failed to be repeated in studies multiple times

2017-12-16 23:15:17 UTC

subconcious bias is unscientifc horse shit

2017-12-16 23:15:23 UTC

In their study, Moss-Racusin and her colleagues created a fictitious resume of an applicant for a lab manager position. Two versions of the resume were produced that varied in only one, very significant, detail: the name at the top. One applicant was named Jennifer and the other John. Moss-Racusin and her colleagues then asked STEM professors from across the country to assess the resume. Over one hundred biologists, chemists, and physicists at academic institutions agreed to do so. Each scientist was randomly assigned to review either Jennifer or John's resume.

The results were surprisingโ€”they show that the decision makers did not evaluate the resume purely on its merits. Despite having the exact same qualifications and experience as John, Jennifer was perceived as significantly less competent. As a result, Jenifer experienced a number of disadvantages that would have hindered her career advancement if she were a real applicant. Because they perceived the female candidate as less competent, the scientists in the study were less willing to mentor Jennifer or to hire her as a lab manager. They also recommended paying her a lower salary. Jennifer was offered, on average, $4,000 per year (13%) less than John.

2017-12-16 23:15:48 UTC

and they did this once

2017-12-16 23:15:50 UTC

Is this a quote or a <#382984642300477444>

2017-12-16 23:15:52 UTC

nice

2017-12-16 23:15:55 UTC

one study

2017-12-16 23:16:02 UTC

that proves everything

2017-12-16 23:16:03 UTC

just a sample size of one

2017-12-16 23:16:04 UTC

no need guys

2017-12-16 23:16:12 UTC

wow

2017-12-16 23:16:15 UTC

How about this

2017-12-16 23:16:22 UTC

@franti gender biases undoubtedly oppress everyone of all genders.

2017-12-16 23:16:31 UTC

you have to prove it first

2017-12-16 23:16:37 UTC

lol

2017-12-16 23:16:41 UTC

@meratrix did you read the quote you retard

2017-12-16 23:16:43 UTC

Since when is beeing a veterinarian opresed

2017-12-16 23:16:45 UTC

yes I did

2017-12-16 23:16:46 UTC

they had a sample size of 100+

2017-12-16 23:16:47 UTC

Wait a second, didn't Australia just try the whole "resumes can't have gender information", only to find that women got hired even less?

2017-12-16 23:16:57 UTC

It is a hard proffesion

2017-12-16 23:17:04 UTC

i.e. before, they were being hired for their vagina points.

2017-12-16 23:17:07 UTC

KEK

2017-12-16 23:17:12 UTC
2017-12-16 23:17:14 UTC

They didn't give the same people both resumes because that would be obvious

2017-12-16 23:17:17 UTC

guess what

2017-12-16 23:17:27 UTC

what about vagina point hirings @mรฉep

2017-12-16 23:17:29 UTC

oh wait

2017-12-16 23:17:29 UTC

different people will offer different salaries

2017-12-16 23:17:32 UTC

@DanielKO australian government already was hiring women for falsely inflated reasons

2017-12-16 23:17:36 UTC
2017-12-16 23:17:37 UTC

innoveint through huh?

2017-12-16 23:17:41 UTC

@mรฉep prove it then

2017-12-16 23:17:43 UTC

you fuck

2017-12-16 23:17:48 UTC

vagina hiring points aren't good

2017-12-16 23:17:57 UTC

I'm not a fan

2017-12-16 23:18:04 UTC

what ever you say

2017-12-16 23:18:09 UTC

everyone should just become educated to remove their biases

2017-12-16 23:18:09 UTC

So you'd rather them not have a job? /s

2017-12-16 23:18:11 UTC

Well, then I don't see why you would call yourself feminist.

2017-12-16 23:18:20 UTC

^

2017-12-16 23:18:24 UTC

@DanielKO because I want to fix gender discrimination

2017-12-16 23:18:35 UTC

Because that's definitely not what's taught in Gender Studies departments.

2017-12-16 23:18:36 UTC

of which I have provided a yet to be refuted source that it exists

2017-12-16 23:18:49 UTC

@mรฉep The quote said that they didn't give both resumes to one person, because of course they wouldn't, but, the problem is then that different people will offer different salaries to the applicant because they are different fucking people

2017-12-16 23:18:54 UTC

how about your source sucks

2017-12-16 23:18:58 UTC

is that good enough?

2017-12-16 23:19:08 UTC

thus, it is a shit study

2017-12-16 23:19:26 UTC

@meratrix individual quirks are factored out when you account for sample size dipshit

2017-12-16 23:19:46 UTC

you wouldn't see replicable trends if it was just human error

2017-12-16 23:20:04 UTC

Give us one example of discrimination you're fighting against.

2017-12-16 23:20:05 UTC

you source is shit

2017-12-16 23:20:07 UTC

um, no dipshit. It's still diferent people, and because the sample size is one fucking resume, it's worthless
