If the Industrial Revolution (which people keep using as a comparator) is any guide, it's going to be more like 100-200 years in a depressing unemployed hellscape!

Counterpoint: ITAR. DeCSS. People have literally been arrested for publishing numbers.

I am on the moderation team at Treehouse. Marcan has not violated any of our community guidelines and he categorically was not suspended from our Fediverse instance. He chose to delete his own account.

Both spellings are considered correct, although i personally prefer 'judgment'.

In point of fact, if you want to become a US citizen you have to swear under penalty of perjury that you are not a communist. Now. In 2023!

There are many, many people for whom it is not an opt-in choice; rape is extremely common.

In point of fact, both men and women hunt (and always hunted) in hunter-gatherer societies, which were generally much more egalitarian than evopsych just-so stories would have you believe. Just one recent article that cites some studies: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2023/07/01/1184749...

Many people DIED giving birth, dude. Many of them STILL die. Maternal mortality rates, for most of history, matched or exceeded the rates at which soldiers died in wars! This take is breathtakingly misogynist and also inaccurate as hell.

That evidence exists, in Yifan's case; i have personally seen receipts. Unfortunately i'm still banned on HN so probably nobody will see this.

These people never want to acknowledge the fact that programming used to be near-universally "women's work", right up until dudes decided it was cool and stole it from us. CS admissions used to be more than 40% women!

In a court of law, personal testimony is evidence. It isn't necessarily compelling by itself, but the idea that it isn't evidence because you don't like it is not actually how the legal system (or culture) works.

This is incredibly misogynist and unfortunately par for the course around here.

They won't be able to provide, because it turns out the differences basically evaporate when you control for the financial stability of the households. It's just that one-parent households (especially in the US) tend to be a hell of a lot less financially stable than two-parent households.
