Fair enough dude
Do you acknowledge this difference to be more pronounced between genders than within one gender?
This question really isn't relevant on its own. You claimed:
there is a bigger difference between men and women, than between men and women themselves
To prove this statement it's not enough to argue that there are singular differences from men and women, nor that that difference is more pronounced cross-gender than within gender. To prove this statement would require a summation of all qualities and differences both between and within genders, or at least the majority, then comparison of those summations. And you would have to prove that those differences are inherent and not instilled through cultural socialization. Hence it being a massive assumption, and unprovable
intuitively observed
This is the biggest problem. "Intuitive observation" means the evidence is anecdotal, and without "fine tuning." For example, you observe that in your experience women tend to be more social than men. My experience might be the opposite. And even if our experiences are the same, we can't assume that those differences are inherent. This is because many perceived differences between genders are actually due to socialization: women are expected to engage with others, to be subservient to others in a lot of ways, to be emotionally engaged. Men are expected to be self reliant and emotionally disengaged. This does not at all suggest a difference in inherent quality - it's due to society.
My major point still stands: the number of qualities that people have and their possible variations are practically infinite, and therefore immeasurable. Something immeasurable is unquantifiable. Thus, to say that there are more differences between genders than within individuals of a gender is an absolutely unprovable claim.
And you might insist on not being so scientific and relying on your anecdotal experience, but these ideas have profound impacts on those around us. Thus we have a responsibility to others to examine these biases and ideas with a fine toothed comb
Hey JK Rowling is on lemmy!
there is a bigger difference between men and women, than between men and women themselves.
This is completely unquantifiable and therefore unprovable
Glad you learned your lesson, you're welcome
Not to mention employee protection/rights laws that don't always apply to contractors
Taxi companies tend to be smaller, more locally owned businesses with actual employees instead of "contractors." Why would we *not side with them?
Edit: missed an important word
I'd be curious to see which would be more practical: a decentralized version of Lyft/Uber powered by blockchain, or an employee-owned version of Lyft/Uber where workers keep all their earnings and pay a small portion for administrative fees to keep the app running.
Admittedly I'm always skeptical of blockchain's ability to actually solve problems. But maybe it would have fewer infrastructural costs? Who knows
Tbh I'm just sad that as a society we don't accept aging. It would be so much easier if we didn't fight it. So she looks like she's 60 years, so what, she is 60 years old (I'm assuming lol). Whether I look like her or Tom Cruise at their age, I want to not care. I want to be happy. Who needs to look that good at 60? The only people you should be trying to attract at that age are similarly aged people
I'm just gonna link to the Wikipedia page for government. That way every position is covered and we can save ourselves from the inevitable slap fight when people can't accept that their interpretation of the "purpose" of government are just interpretations and almost everyone has a different one
