The relevance to CEV/FAI did cross my mind when I was writing this post, but no, the reason I wrote it was that people were saying that the gender-related discussions on LW are not very productive, but seemed puzzled as to why.
What counts as “productive”? If the problem is under-acknowledged value differences, then perhaps part of the solution is to air differences of values. That seems like the sort of thing that would look like a lot of disagreement and assertion.
