I am trying to call out bad ideas and elevate the level of discourse so to the extent that problems can be better tackled by better discussion (and most can), they might be.

On the surface of it, it seems like you're shouting a catchy slogan into a serious conversation in order to get social cred with your perceived social group.

Given how these things work--intuition first, figure out why later (I'll give references if this is a new concept for you)--I don't imagine you're deeply aware of this, if it's true. And it might not be true; I can't read your mind.

Unfortunately, the catchy slogan has all the nuance of tough-on-crime and war-on-drugs efforts (two prominent examples of catchy-slogan-over-serious-understanding put into practice, with generally poor results). Especially when injected into a piece with advice based on (admittedly not-fully-conclusive) social science research (including by feminists), this seems like a bad idea.

The only way this would not be the case is if your advice was actually broadly applicable--and that's where the numbers come in.

So, if I ask about the numbers, I get the chance to (1) try to deepen the conversation beyond memes again; (2) gain more evidence about your rationale, if there is an explicit one; and (3) learn something if in fact you're speaking from a position of knowledge.

That's what I was trying to do.

What are you trying to do?
