[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wage gap is a myth (agree)
Diversity for diversities sake is a joke should hire the best (agree)
Women are different than men and are better at certain things (agree)

Anyone not agree with those 3?  [/quote]

But what are the criteria for determining "the best"?

The author thinks that they don't need to spend time training people about unconscious bias. (I guess he doesn't--his biases aren't unconscious at all, he's very upfront about them.) He thinks women AS A GROUP are more neurotic than men AS A GROUP.

If you think "the best" person for a job should be able to handle stress, and you think women AS A GROUP can't handle stress, then you aren't going to see a man and a woman with otherwise equal qualifications as both being "the best." You are going to only see the man as "the best." That's why you need to affirmatively promote diversity.

People come in spectrums.  So while it is true to say that men in general are taller than women, there are some women who are taller than some men.  Therefore it is wrong to act as if all men are taller than all women.

The true danger of stereotypes is that it prevents us from seeing people as individuals and judging them by their own qualities and not that of the "group" they are put into.[/quote]
