So why do women do worse in certain fields of work? It turns out you can in fact do a direct A/B comparison on workplace gender discrimination: ask a transgender person. Formerly respected scientist Barbara Barres, now inexplicably-more-respected scientist Ben Barres. Actual quote: "Ben gave a great seminar today—but then his work is so much better than his sister's."

When Googling on Social Europe I only find them using the term progressivism to refer to the US. They may speak about about progressive policies but not use the term progressivism when speaking about European policies.

In terms of the flawed left-right spectrum, progressivism is the ideology of those between the socialists and the center.

In the European context I haven't heard the word progressivism as referring to third way policies. Third way policies usually get justified by saying that we have no other choice instead of being justified by themselves shaping society as we want society to be.

I think the Social Justice movement came out of postmodernism and Woodrow Wilsons progressivism was modern in nature.

I suspect that the neo-reactionary conception of "progressivism" is outgroup homogeneity bias at work.

Progressives tend to elevate human reason above all else.

Maybe LW progressives do. In general, isn't it libertarians who tend to be the coldly calculating ones?

The history of LW and NR is older than Scott's posts on the subject.

The plausible connection between LW and NR is that both have an underlying premise that life can be improved by taking a fairly abstract approach.

There were several active NR posters. They decided LW wasn't where they wanted to hang out, and some of them can be found at More Right..

That's a very very uncharitable interpretation of that sentence in the body of the bill.
