Is DEI a good thing?

If people aren’t getting hired because of race, wouldn’t all persons of that race struggle to get good jobs? Wouldn’t it be better to spend money building up those communities, changing to a winning culture and fixing this once and for all? At least then it wouldn’t been forced and those people could would feel truly accepted in the new role.

Why is it that men are shamed for watching porn but women are not shamed for making porn or onlyfans?

I always notice that when there is a conversation about porn, female pornstars are encouraged to make it. They are told that if they need money that they should make as much porn as they want and it should not be seen as a problem. However, women also claim that a man should not watch the porn, which doesn't make sense to me. For example, if a girl wants to have an onlyfans, people would tell that girl's boyfriend to not be insecure if she ends up making one, especially since she is getting paid. However, if that boyfriend ends up watching porn or even subscribing to a different girl's onlyfans, he is shamed for it? Why is this?

Equality of outcomes

Curious as to what folks believe this movement emphasizes, the goals and how to approach it. What I really do not understand is the lack of tie in to inputs that lead to outcomes. Hard work results in better outcomes than those that do not. Effective preparation and strategy coupled with hard work leads to better outcomes than just hard work alone. This makes sense to me. But as I stated, I’m just trying to understand the movement in detail and how achieving that goal would work.

Publish and Impoverish

The modern world of academic publishing has become a minefield of bad incentives, especially for new and non-wealthy researchers. This article gives some background, offers some ideas, and speaks with a bunch of academics to get their thoughts.

No, Bill Maher, Elon Musk is NOT a "Complicated Guy"

There’s nothing complex about bigotry

“He’s a complicated guy.”

That was Bill Maher’s response when reputed business and technology journalist Kara Swisher recited the list of petulant insults that multi-billionaire tech tycoon Elon Musk directed her way in response to coverage he deemed insufficiently reverent.

“Oh, okay. Sure, why not?”, Swisher shot back. “How about he’s just not a complicated guy? He’s just a jerk.”

Maher’s rebuttal is as illustrative as it is nonsensical.

“I can easily prove he’s a complicated guy. Because yesterday I saw on the news somebody who was paralyzed, who was giddy with happiness, because he was being able to play video games with his mind.”MORE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Free to access equality, diversity & inclusion spaces?

Hi!

I've recently become an equality, diversity and inclusion lead where I work, a lab in the NHS, and as you can imagine that doesn't really come with a budget or anything.

I've spent the last couple of mornings looking for any online communities or forums to discuss and help develop content with other people in similar positions, because I'm very aware that while I identify with some minority identities I don't want to neglect or do badly subjects like race, culture, disabilities I don't know more about, so on and so fourth.

So to summarise; Are there any spaces online like this, either for free resource/idea/event sharing, or for open discussion with others? If I set up a subreddit would anyone be interested? Or is there a better platform?

Equally, if this is the wrong place for asking this I'm sorry, and very open to suggestions for where to go instead. As far as I could tell this was the best place to ask.

Offended by the term 'man cold'

The term 'man cold' offends me mildly. But I'm having trouble articulating why.

New to the sub but what are people's thoughts on the topic?

I think that at the root of the term it's poking fun at men in the same way 90s sitcoms always made dads out to be idiots for the sake of the comedy?

Why is it?

Why is it black people get treated different? Past or future there is no excuse! It deeply hurts my soul. I have many family members that are black and white, friends, etc and I’ve seen so many different scenarios in which ways they were treated differently. Though I am a white person I’ve been asked by my black peers why it makes me so upset and or emotional. So I guess my question is how would I answer that?

The Most Illegal Beer -- just because it is made by women!

Check out what I found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iPU7jCnqIw&t=1s

This beer breaks the laws from like 50 countries around the world, and the only reason for that is it is completely made by women.

This is so shockingly ridiculous. There are still so many absurd laws against women in so many countries nowadays!

Why shouldn’t women have rights?

I saw a TikTok today where a man briefly said that women shouldn’t have had rights because it’s been problems ever since. This is baffling to me. As a hard-working U.S. citizen (female) who pays taxes and contributes to society, I’m troubled to think that this man has such a view on women. I truly want to understand where he is coming from, because I’m blown away by such an opinion coming from the states. Help me understand, if you can. Google only seems to agree (rightfully so) that women should have equal rights. Not a lot of info on the opposite take. I’ll admit I’m coming at this with a bias, but I’d just like to understand if possible.

Women's day and Men's day

I get this is probably not the right day to say this but oh well. I wish every woman in the world the best day possible and the best life possible. I'm glad you can celebrate what you have achieved and I wish men could say we had accomplished as much. However there is an issue. I've seen both sides of the argument. On one side we have men wining about how they need more recognition and they are so oppressed. That's nonsense, we all have our issues and women have definitely had more over time so get over it but on the other hand I've seen comments of people saying men need to stop asking when men's day is on women's day, their so selfish and terrible. I also think that is stupid because here is the crucial point. Whenever I celebrate women's whether its at work, school or home I, once in a while, remember that surely if we're all about equality there should be a men's day. Now this is why you get so many people searching up when is men's day. Its not always because we are selfish and want attention but because we genuinely don't realise there is a men's day. Admittedly men haven't done much to promote it and those who do often do so wrongly but in places like schools were the female students wouldn't make women's day happen but the people in power like the headteacher or principle, men's day is never made to happen. Why, well as I mentioned nobody realises it exists and those who do are often too scared to promote it because as I have frequently seen people just call men selfish and the bad image men have made for themselves over time just pops into our heads. Why should men celebrate our oppression and cruelty and easy past?

And maybe that's true, maybe we shouldn't but then again I would like to see more recognition for men's day. I would hope some people, when they see the statistic of searches of international men's day on women's day they might not just go "oh those selfish degenerate men, only thinking about themselves" but realise some men, or more commonly boys are just realising, provoked by the recognition of international women's day, that we have a day to celebrate and we have issues to raise. I mean no offence to anyone but as someone who has been accused of things I didn't do, mainly because of the bad image men have, I want more people to realise men aren't as selfish as we seen and maybe, just maybe you might feel a little empathy for us. I'm not saying all of us deserve it, or need it but in the end there are also some who are just curious or are trapped in stereotypes and can't find anyone to reconcile with them and just want some day that they can express themselves. Men are to blame for many things but right now a lot of us don't have anyone to stand by. I won't give a sob story of my hard life or anything but a better public image would be appreciated. For all the bad men there are some good ones just as there are with women. I think maybe in the end we should be celebrating something like an equality day where we all try to fix our issues and stand together because men deserve nothing more than women and women deserve nothing more than men.

Happy women's day, I hope everyone had a great time and I hope the few who understand my meaning will look a little less harshly on those oh so popular search statistics. We just want some help and mentally, a lot of us need it. All I ask for is one thing, an Equality Day where everyone is empathetic to everyone else's issues and we all can see each other as equals. I hope no one takes offence, none is meant.

The European Parliament condemns Azerbaijan’s “unjustified and pre-planned attack” on the Armenian population of Karabakh. Accused in this report of harshly violating international law and human rights. Moreover, the military operation in Karabakh is referred to as “effectively ethnic cleansing.”
