Did you just succeed in using gender conflicts as the non political analogous example which allows rational discourse regarding a highly inflamed, trench war topic that would degenerate into something worse than a (subtle and cold version of a) flame war if discussed directly? (different estimates of ones type of reflective equilibrium results in different preferred extrapolation dynamic/initial group/etc (which of course results in cases where it can be instrumentally rational for a non perfect liar to believe in false things))
If you did this on purpose, you are my new personal hero!
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.
