You started this thread with, &quot;how can one write a piece about persistent discrimination against a woman without mentioning societal gender discrimination as a thing?&quot;<p>The grandparent to my previous comment suggested that &quot;if [PG] focused the essay more on gender discrimination instead of just on Jessica, she would not be comfortable with or allow the essay to be published.&quot;<p>You said that since PG felt he could write the article without mentioning societal gender discrimination, &quot;I&#x27;m left to wonder whether he is even aware of the problem.&quot;<p>I linked to a video where Jessica covers the same material that PG did. She also does not so much as hint at societal gender discrimination. This can be consider supportive evidence, along with PG&#x27;s footnote about feminism, for the GP&#x27;s hypothesis that Jessica would not being comfortable with societal gender discrimination being in the article.<p>It would follow that if you are going to respect Jessica&#x27;s choice to not talk about gender discrimination in her talk, you would have to also respect the choice of PG to not have it in his essay, on the assumption that he may have withheld any such commentary in deference to Jessica&#x27;s preferences.
