And having separate categories solves that how? You're just perpetuating the very thing you're declaring is a problem.

The current system is less than ideal, but at least with gendered awards, women have a shot at getting awards which translates into bigger future paychecks. What you're proposing is that the same industry that currently ignores equal pay for women is somehow going to recognize them in a category against the men who are already getting paid more than them?!

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

This doesn't solve equal pay, it just perpetuates the misogynist notion that women aren't good enough to compete with men.

Let me guess, you are against affirmative action as well.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org -5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's a bad guess.

Is there a reason you're quoting the comments I wrote back to me?

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Strange that you don't understand the implications of your own words. Replace gender with race. That should help you understand some of those implications.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There are no implications that you aren't cryptically fabricating in your head.

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm sure I am also fabricating those up votes too. Is it really that hard to apply your own principle to a different situation or are you pretending to be obtuse?

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you're ignorant enough to think that up/downvotes mean anything at all then I shouldn't be surprised that you're unable to comprehend the nuance of this discussion and instead choose to argue by completely and intentionally misrepresenting my statements. You can go away now.

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

Pretending to be obtuse it is. And if there is nuance in this discussion, it isn't coming from you.
