Your alternative is to make some assumptions based on what you see in front of you and on what your experience tells you (probably soundly based on generalities).

In general...In general men are smarter than women.<br /><br />In general men are richer than women.<br /><br />In general men are more violent than women.<br /><br />In general men are more misogynist than women.<br /><br />In general, there is a lot of fucked up thinking in generalities.<br /><br />If I want a typist, I will test their typing.<br /><br />If I want a programmer, I will test their programming.<br /><br />Why was she not tested for strength and stamina? I know women far stronger than me.<br /><br />You call her a crybaby simply for wanting to be treated equally with all applicants.

Individualism vs Collectivism, distinctiveness vs blending, achievement vs participation, Common Law vs Civil Law, Reals vs Feels, developed vs juvenile. On that wrong side, the stunted growth side that is hugely predominant right now, they don't perceive individual differences. They 'blank out' as Ayn Rand says. Out of that comes the inability to see individual differences between men and women, for one thing.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06315796390662297759noreply@blogger.com
