These attributes are also associated with substantial differences in experience, epistemologies, and even ideologies

Nothing is stopping one from seeking these differences directly, and it's literally bigoted and prejudicial to say "I know this person is going to have a different perspective because their skin is this color/they are this sex". You're literally advocating for stereotyping people according to those immutable characteristics. Disgusting.

Ideological diversity while certainly beneficial, can also hamper collaboration.

I thought diversity was strength. Guess it's instead "diversity specifically of the types I define is strength, provided it's my unique definition of strength (read: intellectual homogeneity)".

I don’t know why you’re drawing this line between ideology, race, and gender. Shit is intersectional.

More thinly-veiled bigotry, essentially saying that race and gender determine ideology. Gross.

And that's why I referred to it as a 'side benefit'. It doesn't do much more, but it's not nothing, you know?

Not to mention all of the other more overt health benefits from exercise in general.

US or not, the sentiment of "criticize X when it makes sense, don't when it doesn't" getting downvoted is hilarious to me.

You're assuming name recognition is what they seek. The thrill of fucking a famous person (and one who is conventionally attractive, to boot), and the extravagant lifestyle that naturally comes with dating a wealthy person, are much more obvious 'goals' here, no?

There is clearly a power differential

That doesn't mean anything by itself. There is zero indication these women are entering these relationships against their will.

he is using them

No more than they are using him, if any 'using' is going on at all (which you are merely assuming).

A white family growing up in New England are much more likely to differ in perspectives/values/beliefs from a white family growing up in Appalachia, than from the black family that lives down the block from them.

Instead of acting like the superficial differences automatically result in the differences that constitute actual diversity, why not seek the actual diversity directly?

The answer is: because they're NOT seeking that kind of diversity, they want and obviously enforce ideological conformity in the 'in-group', and to create the outward appearance of diversity by mixing up the incidence of the superficial traits.

Did you intend to reply to me to begin with? 'cause I just made a side comment that's not related to the actual controversy at all, lol

Imagine downvoting this, lmao

What a worthless article, lol. It's bad enough anyone actually gives a shit what her opinion is on this subject, it's worse still that here we are, another level down, where people are writing whole articles giving a shit about those who give a shit about said opinion.

Who cares?

Yeah, the criticism always carries the undertone (at least) of 'oh, those adult women are just too stupid to realize they're being exploited'.

They know very well what they're doing, lmao.
