If anyone is still following or reading @AreoMagazine and specifically @hpluckrose you might want to know that she just blocked me for politely suggesting she read a statistics paper.

I think it's not necessary to be knowledgeable in statistics to understand their point about this. It's basically, if we're saying the earnings gap between men and women is 0 when we look at men and women in the same jobs, hours, etc, that doesn't mean there's no discrimination

Yes, pointed out early on that statistics were no good for discovering the causes of the imbalance and I said OK and had thread about that so but still needing to talk abt choices so doing it without statistics (tho the likelihood of my doing it with statistics was never high)

Nobody said stats are "no good"! We said they are complicated and the simple approach you are championing is not appropriate. You then refused to engage further. This is not a pro-science stance and as the magazine champions science I thought it relevant.
