> What makes them private?

The law. Wire-tapping isn't legal.

dsfafsdaf · 7 years ago
Yes it is.

I mean, there's a law against it. But there is a lot of known warrent-less wire-tapping, both by govt and industry, and everyone shrugs.

And it's not even a de jure vs de facto thing, since by now a lot of the ostensibly illegal stuff has been either defended successfully in courts or buttressed by the govt.

Unequal availability of assistance/capacity.

OP said: "women-only domestic violence shelters"

Having men-only domestic violence shelter hardly requires removing the gender requirements of our current shelters.

How about non-unisex toilets and women-only domestic violence shelters? Personally, I oppose them, but it appears that most people support them, "discrimination" not-withstanding...
dsfafsdaf · 7 years ago
"women-only domestic violence shelters" what exactly do you oppose? That there are no equivalent men's shelters, or that men aren't allowed in?

To this day my wife refuses to tell any man the location of her shelter from when her ex abused her. Might not fit into the modern gender zeitgeist, but I fully support her.

Let's see if he'll keep the identification when he next applies for a job or a home loan?
dsfafsdaf · 7 years ago
Why not?

IIRC, in Canada, its illegal to ask those questions during the application.

Then, when HR is doing their diversity calculations, he boosts their employed woman trans numbers.

Don't see him loosing out much.

I am skeptical that will ever happen. At least in North America there are a plethora of international students willing to train here for next to nothing and in some cases I've heard rumours of post-docs not taking a salary at all.
dsfafsdaf · 7 years ago
The post-doc where I got my PhD was making $5k less than I, or around 17k

His English sucked, his physics PhD in non linear quantum mechanics useless and his resume-writting skills was non existent.

Yet, he's the only person to read my thesis, the cluster worked only thanks to his efforts, and he administered 20~30 workstations while doing his research. I would not have graduated without him and he is more dear to me than anyone I met at school.
