You talk of tongue lashings, but at no point did you actually refute his original point. Companies aren’t refusing to hire women in technical positions, there just aren’t as many women applying as men. Engineering is a great example. The engineers in my company are overwhelmingly white men. But if you look at most…

No, it doesn’t make it ok, but it does mean that going “well, lets just pay all women 30% more to make up for it” is a bad idea. And while nobody (so far) has been that stupid, it’s rare to see someone arguing about the wage gap from an attitude of “well, we need to figure out how to socialize young girls to go after…

You’ve made unsubstantiated statements. No pointers to any research.

“Well, think of this: for those “internal limits” to be truly intrinsic to an individual, that implies a genetic component, which again is something none of us have control over.”

If you put on your Critical Thinking cap, you would realize that he is NOT saying nothing should be done.

“Lol wtf are you smoking. You think women chose to be relegated to being housewives for most of western history? To not own land? To have no voice in goverment?”

I don’t think the solution is randomly replacing men in jobs with women just to even it out. That’s what the lawsuit is about.

No one in this country is forced to do anything or get any specific degree. Someone made that conscious decision to study whatever subject they chose. That’s not society’s fault

First, that number isn’t accurate and the accurate number is small enough that it can be chocked up to statistically anomaly. If you disagree on that and can prove it out, I will fight with you to gain equality on the few percentage points. I just don’t appreciate the use of misleading stats to try and pretend there…

Women’s earnings are not 30% lower than a man’s when accounting for positions, roles, yada yada. For example, women are often the project maangers in tech, not the actual engineers. So yes they make less. A female engineer does not make 30% less than a male engineer.

At least he didnt get left hanging.

Knowing Aggies (am Aggie), someone will draw a dick. For sure.

My wife is French and agrees with you. She loves German cars.

I have to say, this is sort of my thought when I see the cars some of these folks are going nuts over. Not as well developed as your thought, but I still don’t see what the fuss is about.

The difference between a Cactus and a BMW X1? A Cactus has pricks on the outside.

Lol, you’re about as funny as all those Confederate flag people in the south.

How many people here come to Jalopnik come here to get away from political bullshit and talk about cars? What next? Gonna start talking global warming at someone’s funeral?

Thanks for needlessly bringing politics into this... 

A Volvo designer I know just sent me one of their early renderings. It’s great to get an inside look at the creative process.
