Why isn’t the destruction of the patriarchy considered a cause area in Effective Altruism?
A search of the 80,000 Hours website yields only two results, both of which are podcast transcripts. It’s not listed among the problems in their cause prioritization list. Has this issue not been investigated at all? If not, why?
Could political concerns be a factor? If so, doesn’t that raise questions, given that cause neutrality is a core principle of Effective Altruism? What other reasons might explain its absence?
There are a lot of possible causes in the world. It’s generally more productive to present a rough back-of-the-envelope calculation to suggest why you think a cause might plausibly be one of the most cost-effective ways of improving the world, rather than jumping straight to casting aspersions on others.
