"As a group, men are taller than women - I don’t really see how you can dispute this fact 🤷🏻♀️ I also don’t understand why you would want to, it’s not controversial. And I say that as a woman who’s taller than most men."
You're totally right: I can't dispute the fact that, as a group, men are taller than women. THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T DISPUTE THAT FACT, YOU FUCKING MORON.
If only you were smarter, instead of taller, it would really help this process. Let's try it this way, since all the simpler ways failed:
How many group heights are you? Are you, e.g. the height of a group of women? The height of a group of American women? The height of a group of white women? How does the "group height" (which isn't an attribute of the group, but in fact an abstraction of a mathematical calculation of the heights of what amounts to a random selection of women) affect YOUR height? Does it DETERMINE your height? The correct answer is: "no."
Individual height is NOT A FUNCTION of group height, because there IS NO GROUP HEIGHT - it's a calculated abstraction, not a measurable attribute.
Individual "outcome" is NOT A FUNCTION of group "outcome," for the same reason.
Correlation of a group value/characteristic/outcome to a controlled variable isn't a causal relationship, in either direction.
Conduct IS NOT an attribute and race isn't a independent variable with high correlation, let alone causality to conduct, as a dependent variable.
Why would you expect that the average heights of various groups would be predictive of the height of any individual, namely me? You seem hung up on extrapolating group characteristics to individuals, despite claiming that’s not what you’re doing - that’s exactly what you’re doing 🤦🏻♀️
The fact remains that different demographic groups experience different life outcomes. Sorry if that’s awkward for you.
