    Israel already offered a complete capitulation to virtually all demands and a two state solution in the Camp David accords. The Saudi Royal Family flat out said it would be a crime against the palestinian people if Arafat refused. Guess who walked out without even making a counter-offer?

    So in other words the same thing every other developer also has to deal with, but because she's a woman instead of treating her as a full and complete human we're going to treat her like a special fragile snowflake?

    Pretty much. The key seems to be individuals holding the overall group's well being in such regard as to consider it inherently a part of their own well being.

    Hmm. A corrupted state where a handful of powerful elites dominate politics and the economy and use a captive government to repress the people so a select few can have it unimaginably better than others... where else have I seen that...

    And don't forget they almost always use operational definitions which tailor the statistics to suit their needs, like the NISVS refusing to count female-on-male rape as "Rape" and recording it instead as "Other".

    Google is LESS white than everybody else, it's only because SJW's suddenly decided that asians were white that the figures don't show that.

    It's not that men are pigs, it's that women aren't pigs. The double standard is strong enough that even some feminist websites like Good Men Project openly refer to it as problematic.

    1/3rd is 33.33333%, 42.6% is less than 10% higher than that, and that was five school years ago with the trend continuing (if not accelerating) since then.

    42.6% is closer to "fifty-fifty" than it is to a third.

    It's also an out of date figure that mischaracterizes how bad the gender gap is by using the lag of higher level post-graduate degrees among wealthy white students to cover up everything else.

    We throw tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars at girls and women to get them to choose technology or engineering as a major, but completely ignore that they're already a majority to an overwhelming majority of graduates in literally every other major and dominate every level of education. Evidently it's more important that women not be a mere ~5% less of a program that's already only 10% of the degrees conferred in the US than it is to do something about the fact men are barely 1/3rd of college graduates in the first place.

    Because, yknow, that's not going to be unhealthy for society at all.

    I'd say the baseline isn't just intelligence but specifically writing, abstract/imaginative thought, and the formation of communities along with a body plan that allows easy manipulation of the environment. Technologically advanced life requires an ability to record and transmit knowledge through generations, the ability to come up with new ideas, and the ability to work with enough others to accomplish various goals.

    It's a years old model at this point. It WAS one of the top end magicshines at the time, now it's probably midrange compared to the thousand plus lumen multi-lights they've got. Bright side of mine though is the controls are much simpler and I get much better battery life. You can find them pretty much all over ebay.
