      I wouldn’t want to work with an arrogant inconsiderate colleague. Male or female, personality and work atmosphere is important.
      Also, showing that the majority of females have complaints about personalities does not automatically mean that there is a bias against women. This line of reasoning is similar to saying research found that smokers have a higher percentage of cancer, therefore cancer clearly has a subconscious bias against smokers.

      I completely agree. Companies hire based on personality and they critique based on personality. I'm an introvert and not overly social. Having to act like an extrovert just to get and keep a job is unbelievably exhausting. There are no normal jobs in the city that understand this. We have benefits - Low gossip/drama, high productivity (especially on solo or menial tasks), high levels of focus and attention to detail.

    I think it would help if resumes didn't have to include anything except for your qualifications, accomplishments, and your email. All employers need to know about you is that you have the skills to do the job, you can set a goal and achieve it, how to reach you, and that you passed a background check.

      That is correct and has been studied. If gender, nationality and age are left out, more women, minorities and older people get hired. Not just that, even just a "black" or "female" sounding names can be a disadvantage. In addition to that, studies have found that even aspects like, looking good, weight, height and the length of your name have influence on your job and income.

      We also need to put into consideration how all of this for all genders is a societal issue deeply ingrained into all of us and how we should work from the ground up to fix it instead of being biased for any side. The point in this video I think is just highlighting a specific aspect of gender inequality and since woman were a social minority and were discriminated against for so long I do think they get a bit more of a say then men overall. This isnt to undermine any rights issues for the other genders though

      I know multiple people (including myself) who raised their voices against the ACTUAL SEXISM of pushing women over competent people. We've been reported to HR and our managers for being sexist, and we don't even have a right to face our accusers and know what we are accused of exactly.
      Competent people are reducing their own productivity if they don't feel appreciated, and eventually leave. A company that adopts the affirmative action / SJW culture has entered its last phase of life.

    Damn. This comment section is fucking toxic. 🤦🏽‍♀️ eliminating bias in evaluations, company culture and the hiring process will not take jobs away from men. It just means people will make decisions (hiring, promoting, etc) based on merit. She even said its not about there being more women in the workplace. Some people dont even realize they are being biased. That's the whole point of this video. And even when things are "equal" in the work place it might not be equitable. Women need family leave and healthcare for dependents because the majority of child care falls on women. We shouldn't have to choose between having a family and a career.

      It's like "I always raise my hand but the teacher never calls on me, the teacher must not like me". You have no idea what the teacher is thinking, but it's easier to chalk it up to a problem with them. Maybe the guy didnt notice her, and she is acting like it's a big deal.

    I think these people fail to understand how deep rooted biases are. You can't not be biased. Thats literally inhumane, even machines are showing biases. Whether it's based on gender, race, hair color, eye color, speech patterns, ideological similarities, common interests, etc. It's like asking someone who isn't racist to be racist. It's not an option. To be racist, or sexist, or whatever, is a part of one's character. To say it's not is blatantly ignorant to the human condition and human nature. Meaning that humans learn this behavior. Good luck trying to change Hitler's mind on the Jews. Or Lenin's mind on Marxist-socialism. Their experiences compound their biases. Regardless if those experiences are actually compounding to begin with. It's a defense/offense mechanism. Hey rape victims, just don't be biased towards the characteristics of your rapist!

  • @josephcavanaugh4859

    Loaded topic for sure. The question is whether or not you want equality of opportunity or equality of outcome. If you are pushing for equality of outcome, you are going down a road that will not end well for anyone. I also don't believe the speaker really got in to it at all that there are fundamental differences between men and women. That isn't PC to bring up but it is the catch 22. If you acknowledge the differences, you may have to acknowledge that there is a reason for the pay gap (I.E. Women wanting to stay home or women choosing jobs that allow for more work/life balance). If you deny the differences, you have nothing to stand on when fighting for equality. So there must be an honest conversation about these things.

    • @weil9525
      @weil9525 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Agree. First of all, gender pay gap is more or less a "myth" these days. The speaker even mentioned that women care about 12 different things while men mostly care about 3 things. She pointed out 1. Paid Family Leave 2. Healthcare of Dependents are two of the top priorities for women seeking a career (What Matters The Most). The women have spoken. Women want a job that would allow them to be flexible (whether to leave work at certain time of the day or take a longer leave of absence such as mat leave). This is why women in their childbearing age typically don't aggressively pursuit a senior position because of the extra duties and responsibilities that come with it. So if women aren't aggressively pursuing senior roles, then why is it men's fault for the pay gap due to different priorities in life? The speaker even said it. There is a tons of money wasted on training men to be gender equality. So instead of preaching what men should or should not do, let's focus on all kinds of biases: Gender, age, and race.

    If there is a boubt perhaps is because of something, perhaps one IS in a place in wish doesn't belong or doing something that have been taught to do and not what one is meant to do. Perhaps the perceived "discrimination" that women see all around them, comes from themselves, of not wanting to accept what is, to accept their position given by the universe. They have been taught that that position that the universe have given them is "not correct" or "it is sexism" or whatever other word. And instead of finding the True worth of womenhood this woman tries to compete with man and she will always loose even though she my "imagine" she is winning or being "superior" or even "equal" to men. There is equality but NOT IN THE WAY THIS WOMAN "IMAGINS". Well the differences between the two are there for all to see. The answer for sexism is not to deny what is, the reality, but to understand what the worth of that reality truly is.
    Or Do ants feel, exploited, misstreted, arrased, looked down or any of the insecurities of this woman who tries to displace her shame onto another gender, when encounters a Lion? No she goes on just as proud of being an ant as the lion is of being a lion. The ant is not envious of the lion and does not try to tell the lion and other in the jungle how "bad" the lion is FOR BEING A LION, and how "bad" she feels for BEING AN ANT AND THE LION A LION. And in her imagination she rejected and so on, and the lion does not even know she exists! is that a lions fault?? Is that an ants fault?
    What logical and rational sense has anything that this woman says? And if she hates so much men and their behavior why is she TRYING TO BE A MAN? AND COMPETE WITH THEM? shouldn't she be worried about being a woman instead? Why women should compete in the work of men? She would be very successful and not man would surpass her doing WOMEN work, just as a man would be lost and always at lost dying to make a women's work. Women and men are COMPLENTS NOT COMPITING FORCES BUT COMPLEMENTARY FORCE THAT CANNOT LIVE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER! AND EACH HAS ITS FUNCTION AND ROLE AND WORTH. BUT WHEN ALL, WOMEN AND MEN ARE TRYING TO DO ALL THE SAME, WELL, WATCH THE WORLD, THIS IS WHAT YOU GET, NOT A NEW WORLD BUT A MORE CHAOTIC WPRLD BECAUSE OF THE DENIAL OF HUMANITY OF WHAT IS. BUT THE VIRUS SHOULD WAKE THEM ALL UP! AND IF NOT THE VIRUS SOMETHING WORSE, EVENTUALLY NO MATTER HOW OR WHEN, MEN AND WOMEN WILL WAKE UP FROM THEIR CHILDISH GAME AND BEGING TO TRUE HUMAN BEINGS FOR AS FOR NOW MEN AND WOMEN ARE JUST THAT MEN AND WOMEN NOT HUMAN BEINGS YET.

Payed leave plus paycheck of new worker that needs at least 3 months to be efficient and stop generating mistakes that greatly increase the costs. So while I employ 100% of females (not by choice, I didn't have male candidates) I'm heavily biased against their age and family situation. My employees are older with established family situation.

Employers today are so terrified of being seen as not diverse and cancel culture that men, and white people in general, are being overlooked.
    Also there is no such thing as the wage gap. Literally every example of the wage gap that exists are theoretical, meaning there are absolutely no real world examples of any instance where this happens. Because there are no real world examples, the problem does not exist.

    I agree there's bias inside the workplace, however the numbers she's presenting (spacially those at the end) can be explained largely due to human behaviour biology. Simply put: Men fight their way to the top because the top offers a lot of perks, money being the most ovbious but second and most importantly in the biological sense a high stat workplace gives u access to a lot of women. Meanwhile rich business women have about the same power choice (of mates) as a middleclass or low-wage woman because men dont usually take into account a woman's business position to propose to her and want her on her side, the opposite its not impossible but man its such a goddamned rare thing.
