How can someone rebut such absolute and perfect theorems? My weak doubts, hypothesis and views must surely surrend to such a bright parade of Eternal Thruth™.
But just a note: using the same behavior of phenomena you're trying to contast is, per se, a clear defeat. To be more clear, blind -because you obviously don't know *nothing* about their backgrounds- vilification of other's opinions is, incidentally, one the of the main instruments of "cultural" sexism. Apart of rethorics there are several logical fallacies in your statement: *criticism I've seen here focuses on means rather than aims *gaps (both gender and geographical) are caused by our behavioral norms? That's a great news! I always feared it was an enormous series of deep social problems while it's just a bunch of rules on a website! *the topic hardly meets the definition of *effort to make this community kinder and more welcoming* *finally, the importance of the topic dictates higher quality requirement in process, not lower. Seriously all of this recalls me when I read suggestions about decreasing gender gap with "less complex graphical interfaces".
