How easily you admit that this board is sexist.
Thinking about a human being's capabilities and output and impact before anything is considered sexist and racist by the L cabal controlling the world today.
Why do you think this loser Wolfers is encouraging this woman. His actual work is useless lying BS. Talking about sexism gets him extra cress and and and an army of half brain feminists on his side.
I want to tell this stupid woman who wrote this paper. I will ensure the truth reaches everyone. And only the truth. That people like you and Wolfers use meaningless terms like sexism and racism to benefit your own careers. There is nothing else to this. As of today a woman with 75% of the competency of a man is hired for nearly every job. That is reality and that is the only sexism today.
You know it. I know it. Wolfers knows it. Eveyone knows it.
I think we all kinda know there is a sexism problem here. However, the paper probably overstates the issue.
A bunch of guys (ejmr is, mostly) are not going to sit around talking about dick and balls when the topic of sex comes up. I hope the author doesn't think that men shouldn't discuss sex on the internet.
The profession is in troubles guys, let's admit it. Unfortunately, a study of PMR and SJMR wouldn't differ much.
A pathbreaking new study of online conversations among economists describes and quantifies a workplace culture that appears to amount to outright hostility toward women in parts of the economics profession.
EJMR is at least 50% trolls from Reddit and other parts of the internet that want a cool place to hang out. These people are not economists and are not representative of the profession.
lol @ the thought Wu would get any harassment from any economists. If she gets a single email it will be from a Redditard troll.
Exactly, how does she know if this stuff is actually posted by economists? I hope she can separate this in her paper.
just so we're clear, Ms. Wu, bb refers to LaCroix, not "baby"
My post got autodeleted, so I must have said something that triggered the bot. Anyway, in case any NYT reader is here, BB LaCroix is an EJMR inside joke that mocks a subset of economics research (done by males and females)
In an email, David Romer, a leading macroeconomist at the University of California, Berkeley, summarized the paper as depicting a "cesspool of misogyny."
I loled at a quote from David Romer. I posted this five years ago:

In their long marriage, he treated his full-time-working wife like a maid. I hope he learned to cook by now.
Fat Broette economist here, and I am not ashamed of being fat. So, let's get that out of the way and suck it, losers.
Yes, there's a lot of misogyny here. When I post here I don't identify as female because of the usual trolls and I think quite a few Broettes do this as well. This is the downside of EJMR.
The anonymity of EJMR does give me the freedom to voice my opinion, which I feel I can't really do in the real world.
In my opinion, the profession has a bigger problem of HRM vs. LRM. Look how the HRMs had a show of force for Reinhart and Rogoff when they had their Excel scandal. According to them, only HRMs are able to come up with innovative ideas. Heaven forbid an LRM much less a female LRM challenges the status quo. We are shut out of the top journals because of this. f**king wankers.
I have an innovative research tool, but I am marginalized because I am *not* HRM and maybe I am marginalized because I am female, which is secondary.
Kirk, I told you to crack down on those AMTs and you did not listen.
"The parallel list of words associated with discussions about men reveals no similarly singular or hostile theme. "
I call BS. Men get called aspie, nerds, loser, deadwood etc.
This is a good point. There's no more common trope on EJMR than the male aspie virgin.
Why didn't she (Wu) pick up references to KFC and fried chicken? We make fun of DA's physical appearance all the time!In the paper, the top 30 words are reported and KFC is one of the male words listed.
Of course the lionmaned economist from Michigan didn't comment on that.
I wonder what will happen if the subject of the study is racial minority, especially Asians. She may also find something troubling there. The current mods are better in deleting trolls and racist posts but there was a time that mods are on board with Asian hating posters.
And not all posters are in the economics profession I suppose.
