Reply to comment by TheDiano in W-2 Wage Distribution by Tax Bracket & Gender [OC] by takeasecond

Well we will have do agree to disagree then, because I think that’s a ridiculous position.

Do you also say the same when someone plots the CPI over time? It is only useful breaking into the different sectors to better understand which areas are driving inflation?

Do you by any chance understand the words causation and correlation? Because I’m not sure you do

I do, do you understand English? Because I’m not sure you do.

What if I’m developing a policy for a discounted medical treatment which is gender specific and will apply to those on incomes below X? I don’t really care why there’s a difference, I just need to know that there’ll be one in the supplies that I’ll need.

I’d wager your great concern is because you’re fixated on the use/conclusion of the data you have in mind.

Exactly, at that point you look at the data and distribute accordingly. The data is what it is, it doesn’t mean it’s discriminatory

You just told on yourself. I never said anything about it being discriminatory.

As I suspected, you’re so worried that someone might conclude it’s discrimination you’re jumping at shadows.
