What they're really saying is "I like it when women want to have sex with me, but I hate it when they remind me of their own sexual agency"

Well, I can't say who's blaming who. After all my ear is nowhere near the ground in China.

Because everyone seems on the same page about this article, I'm gonna nitpick elsewhere.

Ah feminism deja vu, most depressing kind of deja vu

Fun fact about peanuts for concerned parents. Roasted peanuts are more likely to cause severe allergic reactions than boiled or fried peanuts. *entering conjecture land* It seems likely that roasted peanuts also produce more allergies in the first place, since roasting is the predominant method in the US, whereas…

Sure, I get the original point, it's funny. And no cosleeping isn't mutually exclusive with back sleeping. It's just one method for keeping the pressure on the baby moving around.

There are actually other ways to avoid SIDS. Cosleeping doesn't actually increase SIDS risk so long as you're breastfeeding. Not that that's an option for everyone, but just saying.

I know right? I mean I hate to argue even in front of the dogs...

This.

I'm interested in your perspective on this. Everything I've ever heard from any in an education department about math is that we need to teach EVERYONE math at a conceptual level.

Is it just me or do those links not work? They're taking me to jezebel.com/"literal text". I'll repost just in case it doesn't work for others

He can make a joke about a woman's vaginas

Here's a 2005 paper documenting girls from 3rd grade on rate their math ability lower than boys, despite a lack of gendered differences in performance. Sadly it's behind a paywall and the author doesn't have it on their website for free: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The effect exists because it's an issue. I agree that it's getting better, but I think you're overly optimistic. Most kids don't get a high quality education and even fewer get supportive teachers who understand gender dynamics. Also, from personal anecdotal evidence and from what I hear from people who research…

The original article which I wish you guys would just reflexively post: http://schmader.psych.ubc.ca/publications/2…

What I'm arguing is that this method is in and of itself credible so long as you understand its inherent limitations. Looking at the abstract, it's really clear the authors themselves don't actually understand what they're doing.

So maybe I should explain why the methodology isn't so bad (although the study as a whole is, and looking at the abstract it's clear the researchers don't understand what they're doing). We try to evaluate models in two ways, 1) does the model test well against a gold standard and 2) is the model's output useful for…

So I haven't read the paper, but I'm familiar with the text analysis. In terms of methodology, their numbers are almost assuredly fine. I think what you're actually concerned about is what their goal and their conclusions were. But understand that these kinds of machine learning algorithms tend to be relatively…

So first off, nobody has the money or time to go through tweets one by one and hand tag them. Hand-tagging is a horrible way of annotating data, expensive, time-consuming, error-prone, and generally unreliable. At least machine learning makes this research possible. Sure it has problems, but that's why they aren't…
