A woman is someone who sees in herself at least one attribute, which she regards as a sufficient condition for her own membership in that category. What that attribute is can vary from woman to woman.

The same definition applies mutatis mutandis to men.

Now what is the concession that's being made?

It is unclear to me what concession is being made by way of accurate language?

Perform better towards what end?

What are some examples/places you've seen that have simultaneously allowed marijuana smokeing but discouraged tobacco smoking? In my country the signs are just "no smoking" they don't say what
curious to know where you were going with this comment

Yeah it's weird how there seems to be so little institutional support for regulating low-risk psychoactive substances like nicotine(and caffeine). Stimulants that increase alertness and enhances concentration, very useful for productivity.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that there is actually a code of ethics within my union, I'll try to seek it out and see what we may want to do. Could be cool.
Re:Why ElementaryOS Left Medium on Tuesday August 20, 2019 @09:37AM (#20746839)
Your point on worker solidarity got me thinking. In some countries(such as mine) we have decent unionization rates for IT workers, would it be a good idea to have such ethical issues encoded into the union lines?
