So female economists were being “carried” by male economists and are incapable of doing their own work? (twitter.com)

Simple self-preservation and natural selection. Most women will be unable to advance your career, but each and every one of them holds the ability to destroy it.

Any woman under the age of 50 is always going to be a net detriment to your career, what’s even funnier is the same demographic is crying because neither older men OR women want to mentor them.

Older women either see them as sexual competition (for the "career woman" who bought the empowerment lie and in too deep) or brats no different from their daughters.

Because, surprise surprise, men aren't complete fucking idiots and have no problem responding to incentives, or reading the room.

It's almost like people are shocked when men react in an optimal fashion to minimize risk and maximize reward.

It's the same short-sighted entitlement thinking applied in Hollywood when they genderswap something (or just crank up the girlboss/bitch dial) boys grew up watching/reading. Oh they'll just blindly keep forking the money over, so genderswapping will bring in all those femaleBux we've been missing out on!

This would apply to a TON of industries if the same method was employed..

Though I think that productivity and reproductive rates would increase a hundred fold if we removed HR as a profession so that might be my bias.

Australia for a while had it mandatory that genders be concealed in government hiring practices, because they found that they were bringing in for interviews 60% men and only 40% women, and assumed biases. After removing sex signifiers, they brought in 70%+ men for interviews: The mere fact they were women was worth an insanely huge valuation for job candidacy, and losing that meant they were, impartially and without any biases at all, deemed inferior in the open and free market of ideas. (They removed the no-sex-mention policy afterwards, since it was counter to their goal of 50/50, the bias favored their desired result too much to keep it away).

So there's a real-world example of exactly as you say: Tons of industries would have very different results if there was no hard-carries going on.

So when men don't "benefit" from working with women, they don't lose productivity.

But women do lose productivity when they don't benefit from working with men.

Interesting.

And the WNBA. Not sure about their pay but the entire organization is subsidized by the NBA for equity purposes. And there's women's tennis that demanded same pay for less work/revenue as well.

White women can produce more White children who are the future of our beautiful Western societies.

Blacks in Western countries create more problems threathening to collapse our nations, and must be sent back to their own countries.

Feminists and attention whores brought this on themselves. They all loved the idea of winning the lawsuit lottery because BetaBob's eyes looked at her exposed cleavage, but with that comes consequences.

Peterson also suggested a makeup ban in the workplace, and the women acted like he just told them to amputate their leg with a rusty knife.

They do that if you even ask them to explain why they are wearing it in general. Their brain's can't compute it, likely because they never questioned it.

What's wild is men's feelings on the issue are completely ignored. Like yeah Brenda gets to complain about not being comfortable around Bob, but if Bob doesn't feel comfortable being alone with Brenda now the sky is falling.

Increased economist productivity? Isn't that like multiplying by zero?

I did an economics degree (which some of you may have worked out from my handle) - and at the end of The Bachelor course 9 Students were offered Doctorate Positions. 8 males, 1 female. From a course of about 75 students, split almost 50/50.

From an intelligence and skill standpoint, men usually are the best. The whole bell curve where women are just mid.. while men are dumbasses and super computers. We need super computers to advance humankind. They are invaluable and they happen to be 99% men.

You also need the dumb-smart men to work the machine, do trade work, and heavy labor.

And the dumbasses are good for a lot of low thought jobs. Because if they were average like a woman they'd need more "stimulation" and be constantly "unfulfilled" by their work.

They have their crucial place in society, much more so than women.

Meh. I don't really have much use for economists of any gender, really. Seldom right and usually causing more harm than good.

The ones chosen are the ones who are wrong. For every Keynes there is a Hayek - but the men behind the curtain choose the winners, and Keynes gave them excuse to expand government powers.
