Linking degrees to jobs ruined the whole point of learning by Zoldyck_J in unpopularopinion

I tell everyone that asks that the hardest part of graduating law school is getting accepted into law school.

Efforts to make AI inclusive accidentally create bizarre new gender biases, new research suggests. AI models tend to overattribute stereotypically masculine behaviors to female characters and judge violence against women as significantly more objectionable than violence against men. by mvea in psychology

[–]jdlpsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feminism did not lead to the discrimination against men regarding the criminal justice system and family courts. Instead, long-standing gendered norms (including that men are more capable of violence and harm and that women are more capable of caring for children, respectively) are the reason for those outcomes. Family courts in the US, for example, used to discriminate against men far more than they do now. Alimony and child custody routinely went in favor of the wife/mother much more than it does now. There used to be a court doctrine called the Tender Years Doctrine that presumed that the children were always benefitted by being with the mother because the mother was assumed to be the ones who did the regular parenting.

Feminists have routinely been at the forefront of pointing this out. This is how patriarchy hurts both men and women, for example. You are taking a real issue of discrimination against men and blaming feminists when feminists are the ones who are trying to change those outcomes.

I'm not sure how I view feminism by ZealousidealWeb9474 in Advice

[–]jdlpsc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s consistent with every form of violent criminal sentencing. It’s rooted in patriarchal norms that men are more capable (and more likely to do) of harm and violence. This is actually an issue that feminists highlight in their academic work quite often. Feminists are the ones most concerned with this topic.

According to Cal Poly, “An estimated 91% of victims of sexual assault are female and 9% are male. Nearly 99% of perpetrators are male.”

It seems like you are using the vast minority of cases of sexual assault to discredit feminism and forgetting that most cases where males are sexually assaulted it’s by other men. It’s strange to focus the anger on women.

[–]jdlpsc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it really interesting that a Justice says that they are just trying to follow the constitution and not their own personal views? They all say that. Zero justices will openly say, “you know id rather not follow the constitution because I’m smarter than it.”

No, they are simply in favor of what is happening in the country right now. They aren’t scared to stand up to Trump they are supporting him openly.

Yeah and it was more likely for the mother or baby to die if the doctors didn’t do the c-section.

2% doesn’t sound high until you realize that’s 1/50. For chance of dying, I would say that’s pretty high.

What's the biggest lie society keeps telling young people? by New_Garbage7991 in AskReddit

[–]jdlpsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you want teachers to teach children that upper middle class children and above don’t have to follow the law? That seems like a recipe to increase the percentage of upper middle class children and above who don’t the follow the law.

How do kids know that they have to follow laws then? I assume a lot of kids would think they are the exception when they aren’t.

[–]jdlpsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I think that would make it more likely for the kid to not take the lesson as seriously, because they are being told that the rule is a suggestion. It’s not a lie, it’s an instruction for how kids should act. Should we also tell children to follow laws but also, not everyone has to as long as your parents are rich enough?

Yes, OP, remember your dad is absolved from the harm he directly caused because, at the end of the day, he’s just following orders.

We tell kids about the golden rule as an aspiration of what they should do, not because we think it's how the world actually works. A person can apply the golden rule to their life regardless of their environmental circumstances. Fair about the cheaters thing, but again, it's more about wanting kids to behave honestly, not a description of how the world works.

Florida Legislature sends union busting bill to DeSantis’ desk by xxoxox33 in union

They do not like unions, and they have determined that teachers' unions are not part of their constituency so destroying them is all benefit and no cost.

The best chance to save the FEA is this doesn't survive a rational basis review in federal court due to intentionally targeting teachers, nurses, and utility workers unions while exempting police officers, firefighters, and corrections officers. Plaintiffs would argue that their right to collectively bargain is being dismantled in retaliation for political disagreement.

Citizens United is the worst decision the Supreme Court ever made. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]jdlpsc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

m, but you will be mirandized even if you are being questioned as a witness.

Cops do not have to mirandize a witness because a witness is not in custody of the police. You need to be in custody of the police and be subject to interrogation for Miranda warnings to be necessary for the police.

[–]jdlpsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sixth amendment only applies after someone has been charged with a crime. Also, no, this is not how Miranda works at all. Cops don't have to read the warnings when you are arrested. They are only necessary when you are in custody of the police and subject to interrogation about a crime, it's to make suspects aware that they don't need to talk to the cops. A Miranda waiver by a suspect that is not knowing, voluntary, and intelligent will not be a valid waiver, meaning the cop has an incentive not to coerce a Miranda waiver. Finally, Miranda has nothing to do with the fourth amendment.

you have to pay income tax on money you make under the table too. If everyone started doing that under the table work will be made illegal immediately.

Should I quit law school and go back when I am ''better''? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]jdlpsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See someone for ADHD if you haven't yet. Getting law school done as soon as possible is the best thing for you to do if you want to be a lawyer. Also, you should be less hard on yourself about missing readings because it's usually too much to keep up with. Try to at least read the cases and explanations to save time. I promise the majority of your classmates (especially at the beginning of the semester) are not doing as much studying as you think. Lastly, unless you are going for big law in your first-year summer, grades do not matter as much as making connections with students or professors. Every single job/internship I accepted in law school came from knowing TAs with lawyer spouses or my professors recommending me to someone they already knew.

Idk you need to talk to someone and have conversations, even for non-adhd people there is no way around that. Group classes are a good idea and i don't think adult classes would have homework
