I don't think the context helps Robin. There is still very too much moral hazard in how casually you're approaching this. This is not a case I would attempt to make based on twitter polls for example. I'd only feel comfortable if I leveled up to a properly designed survey.
That's *one* example of how you could add risk commensurate to the potential fallouts of your thinking here. There might be many other ways. For example: just do this as a paper, not on blog+twitter. Or run it by a female economist colleague first.

What I've found irksome about your response to blowback is that you give yourself entire benefit of the doubt: you seem to suggest critics are all irrational SJW activists and your intellectual approach is above reproach. If you believe that, there is no debate here

But I'll respectfully sign off from this debate here. I think we get each other's positions now, and I don't particularly want to continue this on twitter given incendiary potential.

I said I agree one should try to be more careful when more is at stake, but I just don't think the kinds of things you are suggesting can work well as social norms one can enforce on the talk of others. The main thing is to criticize well, and to respect good critics.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
