  • I would have liked to know what the gap is structured by job as well as gender.

    Having a discrepancy based on choice of profession has to be approached differently than a discrepancy based on gender as the determining factor (which is the point the report makes, as far as I saw).

    Making professions have a more representative amount of workers should be in everyone’s interest, not just gender wise, but also culturally and socially, etc, and needs to make the underrepresented groups want to get the education required, in addition to all the other factors such as work culture.

    Ofc this is just my viewpoint from a country where we’re so incredibly privileged that most anyone can get a higher education. I’m not even going to try to speak for countries with different cultural and social norms and structures.

    Still, I find saying “EU” as a blanket term, and presenting the data based only on gender as a factor provides little value, as it makes the data so over generalized it’s hard to find anything to act on or improve. Rather it just adds another data point to be upset about in a long list of them.

    I wish instead of getting the general “shit is bad” report, we’d get something that could be used to further the discussion into clear action in specific places. However, to do that it’s not sufficient to say “in the EU”, might as well say “in the Americas”.

    I’m sure I’ve overlooked something in my reading of and responding to the report. If so, it was done out of ignorance more than anything else, and without malice. Don’t listen to weird ramblings on the internet.









  • Can we just take it as a given the US is not going to do shit for NATO, and that we’re on our Todd?

    Sooner we move ahead with that as a given fact we can commit to turn alliance, or whatever remains of it, into something stable for the rest of the members, and whoever else wants to join.

    Heck, let’s add Australia, Mexico, Canada, and whoever else doesn’t want to bomb the ever loving shit out of random people to the EU while we’re at it.

    At this point it’s starting to make sense to commit to the idea of helping Trump wall off the USA, so the rest of the world can get on with its life. We’ll check back in on them in a few centuries.


  • Works really well with summit. Blocking words is very nice when someone is posting a comic strip I don’t like to a comic strip community like it is going out of style.

    Requires them to have the title of it in their post though, which thankfully they do.

    Now if only I found a way of blocking the drawings some people seem hell bent on posting to cute animal picture communities I’d be soooo happy.
