How could you solve the problem without indicating the group of people who is being treated differently? I understand what you are saying, but there's no other way to achieve equality, other than specifically separating the groups that

Have you searched for those things? There are lots of campaigns to get more women in those jobs... just google the job title and more women or even feminism. Example: http://www.rigzone.com/news/oil_gas/a/135

Why do you feel the need to say that Asian people are more at a disadvantaged that women? Can't we agree that both are at a disadvantage and we should help them? Your statement is highly subjective and really difficult to prove. You ar

"just because the victim is a woman, doesn't mean it's sexism." You really think people forget about that? That there are a lot of people around the planet who think any aggression against a woman is sexism? So much that

I agree with some of the points, but the first one really put me off with reading the article. I've never suffered over sensitivity from Americans, and in fact, I see just the opposite. This could be my biases crawling in, but it reall

Are saying that all men are a "racist" stereotype, so if there was a woman it would have to be a "sexist" stereotype? How does that make sense? Why can't one of the "racist" stereotypes be a woman? Just be

This is not about something being "feminine" or not. A lot of people will say that War is not feminine, but it still doesn't make sense that there were no women in CoD.

1. Because of institutional sexism. Things that exist that discourage or push women off the path to working in technology. 2. It's not that only men can ride it, it's that it's already full men, which is the current situation. Most people t

All these articles are assuming Nintendo will get the whole profits from the videos, but I'm not seeing that in any sources. Does any one have more info on that? As far as I understand it, Nintendo will only get a cut from the profits, YouT

You do realize that the sentence you quoted (and the article itself) does not say that only women suffer from high performance demands? It's just saying that a lot of the high performance demands for women stem from the fact that being fewe

Wow, it seems most of the comment here, as of now, decided to overlook the parts of the article that explicitly state problems that are most suffered by women. For example, how this woman had a boss who stroke her hair, or how another boss

Agh, not again. As far as Kurzweil theories are semi-crazy and border on beliefs, he is not forgetting about social learning. What you are forgetting is that these things could be done much more faster on a machine than on a human being, es

It's explained in the post, at the end, that the difference is that for most if not all of women's only colleges there are other universities that are similar that accept men. Not only was the author not referring to ALL men's only colleges

So you are only taking into account the comments from a white guy while totally ignoring the feelings expressed by the minorities saying that that's their problem?

Although I understand that you want something to run faster, preemptive optimization is not always the best solution. It can lead to bad code and to weird behaviour. For example, arrays and especially associative arrays should not go inside
