Philosophy and Gender Statistics

[Jade]

I don't know what constitutes an echo chamber but I wouldn't call any communitty such unless it didn't allow certain views to be expressed in favor of the comfort of the majority.

I think one way it is exemplified is in how I come in to make a comment in a thread about gender statistics, and the retort to me is that I'm "making the elephant in the room bigger" by talking about it, when I am merely contributing to a discussion thread that already has 30 posts.

An extremely scary thought...  What can be done? How can anyone, man or woman, fight what's been subconsciousy programmed into them over the years? How do they stop it from continuing?  What can be done to end these movements of separation on a mass scale?

I have no idea, either. I think we could discover more if we talked about this as a group and more people were willing to acknowledge there was a problem to begin with, so thanks for taking that step. What do you suggest?
