Your sources are spurious at best. One is a loving Psychology Today article with no link to an actual study beyond an abstract, and I doubt you have a subscription lying around.
Are you talking about this one? https://www.pnas.org/content/111/2/823

mind the walrus posted:

The second is an undated Brazillian study which used neural networks to simulate models of neurological activity based on a presumed autistic model... I don't think I need to say why a layman would be skeptical about that, especially when using that as a primary source.

Are you implying a layman should be suspicious because it's Brazilian? But that study was more to show how the local-global connectivity theory is accepted. Here's one of its references that lays it out also: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22018722

mind the walrus posted:

The third is another abstract which itself acknowledges that it is a preliminary study for further research, although the conclusions listed in the abstract do support your claims (roughly). You have a wiki article shoved in there, half of which is criticizing the very psychology you purport to be true.
It's not "half" criticizing the theory. It does have a criticism section, which is healthy for this kind of wiki article and should be expected to be significant since it involves political implications. The most well-supported criticisms are that the dimensions included in the definitions of systemising and empathising are probably imprecise because not all of them scale to the same degree in the tests; and that not enough research has been done yet. Although taken together it's definitely not enough to show the theory has no merit imo.

mind the walrus posted:

Your fourth study is again, a Pop Science blog that links to the actual study, which seems to be where you got most of your information.

But even then the Pop article is quick to dispel the very assertions you originally made. Let's refresh:


(bold emphasis mine)

The context of your words points to cultural masculinity, not neurological masculinity. Regardless of everything else, this is why I called you out. It sounded like some :biotruths: horseshit.

and now the article:


Maybe that is what you mean, but that isn't what you said.

Yep. That's true. When I wrote the first post I was referring to cultural masculinity in one paragraph and neurological masculinity in the other (without any clear indication of such) and overall just being sloppy and doing free association. Just brainstorming and hypothesizing and the autism one doesn't hold up very well when I think about it more

mind the walrus posted:

And rapidly changing. As uderstanding of what autism is as a syndrome-- e.g: a cluster of related symptoms in varying degrees of presentation-- has progressed it has become noted that unless women happen to conform to more stereotypically male cultural behaviors associated with autism they're far less likely to be diagnosed. As a male who presents more like the ladies in this video and wasn't diagnosed until adulthood, this is why I take umbrage with your assertions. It's a dangerous spread of misinformation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwEH9Ui4HV8

That's a good video. But the problem there seems to be more with how the extreme male brain theory is presented and how loaded words are. "Extreme male brain" brings up all kinds of associations with things besides cognitive style. To a layman it sounds like it's related to male stereotypes like physical aggression but it doesn't have anything to do with those. Even something more technical like "extremely masculine neurology" still has that problem. Language is tricky

Another approach is to say by not providing and paying her workers healthcare, she is externalizing her costs to the public. Just when the uninsured people go to the hospital, that cost is passed to the ones with insurance by the hospital charging more to the provider. Just Walmart use cheap labor to externalize welfare etc to the state. Then go into the spiel of we need single payer, then push aside the stupid "how do we pay for it rhetoric."

Yes, this is also a big part of it. When that salon owner talks about "employing more people" her thought process is mostly focused on "how do I get more people under me to take money from?". One thing about hair salons, barbers, and stylists that a lot of people don't know is that most of them are run not as a normal business but as a pseudo-contractor scheme. They're not actually independent contractors most of the time (which would let this owner off the hook for benefits), because then the stylists could just jump around from place to place as they wanted. Some places do it this way though. The stylists "rent" the chair space from the business owner, rent tools, etc. Not all of them do it this way, but most that I've gone to have been run this way. My aunt and grandma run a cosmetology school and navigating this common employment structure is one of the things they teach their students about.

So it really speaks to a greater societal need for businesses to pull their weight if they seek to expand their market control. Imagine if this person wasn't just running 5 salons with 46-48 employees but 500, 5000, etc. The more people under them without access to healthcare benefits (and they certainly aren't paid enough to afford their own) the worse off a larger segment of our population will be. As long as the healthcare situation in our country is still predicated on your job providing you healthcare we will need to mandate what the minimum business size we will tolerate shirking that obligation.

Basically: Hearken back to the days of company towns and find the parallels. We can't keep letting business owners act like deadbeat parents who think the only thing they need to do in business is take their workers labor for the bare minimum they can get away with.

This would be a hell of a talking point. The presumption under capitalism is that either your business is growing or it's dying; so owners are of course trying to grow, it's just what you do. But there is a price to pay for growth, because you're growing your power and your effect on your environment/market; you need to buy that power.
