so you dont think that males are more muscular and as a result they tent to be physically stronger than a woman by average?
No I am not thinking such, because I don't care about it honestly. At work it doesn't matter what anyone's group is like...only the individual matters when it comes to pay and advancement. In the ultimate sense, this is all that is really important to consider about an individual...the individual's achievements and capabilities.
Not that there couldn't be a measure for making the claim you mention (for example, men bench press more than women on average, etc.). However, what people do or choose is only fractionally correlated with what tends to be true about a group of individuals. If you came up with a different example, and the fact were established (such as women tend to buy "spur of the moment"), this information might be useful in business terms and a serious consideration during marketing planning or even in the design phases of the launch of a product. When not useful in this way, this knowledge is just a game. Beyond this, who cares what is commonly stated about a group of people, honestly? Nothing can take away from a success or achievement. Anyway, noone would want to try who is 100% focused. BTW, I suppose your example too could be important to marketers or designers considering whether a product should be lighter weight for use by females, etc...
These thoughts about groups should keep us laughing. We should be proud enough of ourselves each as an individual to be able to laugh when others throw around meaningless nonsense about us. If we are Hungarian, for example, and someone jokes about us liking to eat some widely considered raunchy food like ghoulash, why be upset (I haven't ever tried ghoulash by the way it might be delicious
...hypothetical example)? People who are focused 100% on succeeding do not and cannot hurt each other. Those who are best able to focus and deliver results receive preferential treatment in pay and advancement considerations. No quotas in this and no biases...
The man in the article is seeking compensation alleging reverse-discrimination, no? Well, this is what he is seeking to prove has happened to him as a result of quotas...the reverse of a so called anti-discriminatory policy. He felt that he himself and others were being washed away by reverse-discrimination built into company policies, and he is suing. Obviously, he was concerned enough to put his neck on the line by discussing the issue with company personnel while at work. Well, if he was doing a good enough job, maybe he will win, who knows?
