Well that's precisely one of the point I was making: that people only care more about VISIBLE inequalities (the gender) which are, in my opinion which you can disagree with, a lower factor of actual inequalities in societies.
At the end of the day I'm not the one who brought "inequalities for women" about a cool map which had a priori no political message. Everyone is free to make their own point of discussion, and you didn't jump out of your seat when this first point about women was made to say it was out of context as you are doing now.
And as a french person it's insane that your culture is so confrontational and tribal that "all lives matters" has to be a divisive statement. Hope you guys will heal at some point.
>a lower factor of actual inequalities in societies.
You can't, and shouldn't compare independent circumstances. You can be poor and a man, you can be rich and a woman.
>and you didn't jump out of your seat when this first point about women
Imagine being a girl on HN. You see this cool map and see wow, not a lot of women I can look up to it seems. And you go to the comments and see someone agrees with you. OK cool, maybe people would start replying with some important women who should be more famous.
Nope. Turns out it doesn't matter, because there are poor people who aren't famous either. You're actually priveleged to want to look up to women when there are poor people you could look up to.
>And as a french person it's insane that your culture is so confrontational and tribal that "all lives matters"
As a French person you don't know the context and therefore the depth of the idiocy of what you just wrote.
There is a concept, you know, of cultural difference. Where if I say something and you react differently than I would, it makes sense because what I said means something different to you. Obviously "all lives matter" doesn't literally mean "all lives matter" in this context. People started saying that in the US because others were saying "black lives matter". But you know who gets disproportionately killed in police confrontations? Not "all people", but black people. So the meaning of "all lives matter" really is "I need to make this about me as well"/"You're talking about something I don't like, so I'm going to make it about something else."
Sure it's tribal. One tribe wants the other to shut up about how people are getting murdered for no reason.
