“is a new toolbar button opt-in” even in his own clarification there he shows he’s thinking about things differently from large swathes of users. Anything that spins off a new task (which their current AI stuff does) is not opt in, it’s a new thing added. It breaks trust down so fast seeing that self contradiction.
And there’s the handwaving “I’m the mature one” always used to shut things down instead of even remotely interacting with the actual message. Classic Internet.
Fuck off. You couldn’t literally spend ten seconds searching?
They even give a nice little graphic summary at the bottom. 90% of people still hold some form of bias against women. https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/06/1137532
And this is a single study. Just one.
Spend ten seconds more and you’ll find studies on the bias entrenched in everything. Medicine, politics, social norms, etc. Many places didn’t include women in medical studies until 1993. We have doctors today all over the place who went through med school reading data and studies that didn’t include women.
Fuck even the temperature we set thermostats in offices is biased against women as it’s based off old studies done on the average American male wearing a suit (ASHRAE 55 was the formula used if you want to look into it, though for this one many bodies such as OSHA and CCOH [Canadian OSHA basically] now recommend better temperatures, offices have lagged adjusting to them). All my female co-workers have brought thermo bottles for years to warm themselves up.
I live in the US with many good friends in UK and a few in South America who I discuss gender and unconscious bias with. Countless studies disagree with you including a broad UN study conducted in 2023. Women are still consistently discriminated against and the default unconscious bias is that women are inferior. Yes it’s better (in some countries ignoring Iran and such) but it’s still a significant problem. Your opinion here tells me you don’t here about notice it because you choose not to. Go read the data.
The fact this meme spread without any consideration for the unconscious bias it plays into is exactly the point.
Except society often already relegates the opinion of women as wrong by default. The template leans into that. I’d argue that them questioning the meme template is a good thing because they’re aware of biases pushed by society.
Just because it’s a meme template doesn’t mean it’s not deep
That’s because it does. The template pretty much always pushes the man is right the woman is wrong which plays into several biases pushes by society.
I just need something to get me to Ladybird release. Though at this point I’m considering just trying to build it and use it as is.
