I’ve experienced biased treatment in my favor as a white person who presents male, and against me because I’m neurodivergent. I’ve also experienced fair treatment, and learned correction toward such, by leadership who value inclusion and listen.

The author isn’t suggesting that all white cis men always get promoted based on potential without having to demonstrate the relevant qualifications consistently, but that it’s more likely.

If you don’t think that’s true, there are a zillion studies that validate it. I say this because I’m a month and a half of weekends into writing what I thought would be a weekend blog post about addressing comp disparities, and so far all I have is a draft explaining why I chose the source I did. I’d be happy to link it, if you’re interested in learning more!

I chose it because it addresses several other factors besides gender (it addressed all of the disparities I wanted to discuss except disability, and I haven't been able to find any that do discuss it), because it also focuses on comp disparities besides pay like expectations, and because it has a historical record for comparison.

On Twitter.

I can say that with certainty, because you made the comment.

I make no apologies for it. I will continue to assume everyone lives unique lives.

Inherited guilt makes it sound like it's a grievance someone chooses to wear like a coat.

People suffer disadvantages brought by prejudice.

You can make that choice, because you don't suffer the same.

The fact you make these assertions via an account named 'tossaway' goes to show even you don't have courage in your convictions.

You cry about privileges and yet stomp on someone else's opinion based on...their name.

Irony abounds.
