More than 17 million viewers tuned in to see England’s historic win over Germany in the Women’s Euros 2022 last month, and 87,192 fans watched it live at Wembley Stadium.
USWNT forward Megan Rapinoe said the kiss that Spain federation chief Luis Rubiales planted on the lips of Women’s World Cup champion Jenni Hermoso signals a “deep level of misogyny and sexism in that federation.”
Ally was the exclusive sponsor of the 11 p.m. ET edition of SportsCenter on Thursday, co-anchored by Elle Duncan and Nicole Briscoe as part of an all-women production team. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the production
The poorer half of Germany’s population inherits little to no wealth. A proposal by a Berlin think tank would give a lump sum to young people for education, homeownership or starting a business.
French economist and professor Thomas Piketty’s new book, “Capital and Ideology,” suggests all French citizens get a six-figure “inheritance for all” from the government, according to Bloomberg.
Doctor proctor shit it when she found out she was going to space. And used it as a platform to talk about getting more black women into orbit. Not sure why though, I ain’t seen many disabled eskimos at NASA recently. Watch the video about Inspiration4 if you want to see why she did it. And probably why SpaceX chose her. Surely it should be about ability?
Companies must rethink and reinvent the way they lead diversity and inclusion as a growth strategy. No longer can diversity and inclusion be viewed as a cost center.
And ironically NASA was one of the organizations that led the way with letting someone’s ancestry trump their skills and suitability. Though change has got to happen somehow.
NASA Helped Kick-start Diversity in Employment Opportunities
It’s not that simple, as in the picture above the wheelchair kid is at a disadvantage due to things he can’t control, rather than the amount of effort he puts into stretching to see. Each case on its own merits rather than general rule or “great idea”. Here is why https://www.vox.com/2015/9/21/9334215/equality-of-opportunity
Agreed, good idea. Here is an article that backs the idea up. Making it so everyone ends up with the same regardless of their effort or skills is unfair. I remember a Kurt Vonnegut, well Kilgore Trout story where ballet dancers were weighed down with weights to give rubbish dancers a fair chance of winning. Stupid.
“Equality of opportunity provides in a sense that all start the race of life at the same time. Equality of outcome attempts to ensure that everyone finishes at the same time.”
Lately I’ve increasingly encountered arguments for “equality of opportunity vs equality of outcome”, which is usually shorthand for a bunch of nastier opinions held by
“A soldier once told me: “It is much easier to kill someone you have never met, from distance. When you look through the scope, you just see a red dot, not a human.” The less you know about them, the easier to fear them, and to hate them.”
The politics of fear: How it manipulates us to tribalism
Fear, a psychiatrist writes, has roots deep within the human psyche, and demagogues have long exploited the emotion. In today's world, it's important to know the dangers of that exploitation.
Agreed, but…. (ahem) The FBI website says Cancers are the most dangerous criminals of all of the zodiac signs, followed by Tauruses. Sagittarius comes third followed by Aries. Capricorn, Virgo, Libra, Pisces, Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius and Gemini are last in the list since their crimes are rarely associated with violence, but with frauds and scams.”

Social media can help promote women’s sports by raising awareness for sporting events and putting professional female athletes in the limelight.
Women’s sports can go far, but misogynistic and sexist behaviour like this must first be first rooted out.

Women’s sports events are already pulling huge crowds, but they can do even better.
Check out this article! Germany is considering a universal inheritance where everyone gets €20,000 when they reach 18.

It’s a good proposal, but maybe raise the age of inheritance to prevent people from wasting all their money on alcohol.
Here’s an economist who thinks that all French citizens should get a six figure inheritance once they reach 25

It’s impossible to achieve equal outcomes, so don’t bother. As explained by Jordan Peterson.
