Eh, forgive me for being technical (I am a scientist afterall), but the date of hire doesn't exactly prove the reason for lack of hire... That's conflating evidence supporting one question (when) with a different question that the evidence does not directly answer (why).

If you really wanna prove why women weren't hired, better to look into records of women who applied for those positions at the time/prior & were rejected to see what the rejection letters & notes on the hiring process by employers described. Or if not that, at least point to some neurology/psychology & economics/sociology studies & statistics (But be careful with psychology & sociology studies/data, and even economics in some cases, because those are inherently less reliable due to inability to control multiple variables or ensure results via repetition, as is required according to the scientific method. This is exactly why its been used to support so much leftist shit in the first place). The basis you provide for your claim needs to fit the context & make logical sense. Otherwise, you're just making what is essentially a baseless assumption. (Which, if all you want to do is state your opinion, is fine. But if you want to state something as fact, that requires more.)

Not saying that your claim is false or that it has no supporting evidence somewhere, since it probably does. But if you're gonna point to or provide evidence, better do it legitimately & using clear, careful, accurate, & logically sound lines of thinking. Doing what you did there is illogical &/or lazy, and we ain't dumb liberals who base "fact" on unsupported or mis-supported opinions or claims. We should all be better than that.

I realize you probably didn't do that on purpose, and I'm not trying to bully you--Just using you as an example, because I've seen a lot more of leftist-type language & lazy "reasoning" here lately, and I've always taken pride in TD being a place of reason. I don't want this place to fall into the trap of hive-mind, leftist-type thinking, so I'm pointing it out where I notice it.

This concludes my PSA for today, lol.

Edit: This is especially important if we want to win thinking, or even just mildly aware, people over & break the leftist brainwashing for good. The only way to beat stupidity & gaslighting is to bring people to the light, not just shuffle them around to a different place in the dark.
