More Power:
- Cooperate in order to reach a successful outcome
- Lay out your intents explicitly, attempt nothing verging on deception
- Be yourself, we just want to help you
- Work hard to better yourself, we haven't done anything wrong. In the vast majority of cases, you have.
(Overall assertion is that of equality, and denial of a power/privilege imbalance, and that you should take responsibility for yourself.)
Less Power:
- Compete with the other party to reach an outcome desirable to you
- Strategically reveal information in order to effect the above
- Be yourself, but realize that the other party may not have your best interests in mind. They prioritize their best interests.
- Work hard to better yourself, but understand that the other side makes mistakes, misjudgments and may just as well be as error prone as you.
In any relationship where an imbalance exists we should be aware that both sides will have sharply differing views. But dating in particular, the concept of female privilege is a huge minefield. OP article's ideas have been tacitly admitted to me in person by women, but the large audience online suppresses women from admitting anything that might not reflect well upon themselves. I think she's speaking for a large amount of women who deny their privilege via silence. The general idea might be that privileged deny their privilege, whether it's through physical attributes, wealth, legislated authority, etc.
How tall are you and what is your race? Those two metrics are greatest determinants of how many messages you receive as a man.
Also, you're kidding yourself if you think any a/c from the '50s is flying with all original parts. Like any machine, it can run indefinitely as long as you replace components. At my first company out of college, we were updating aircraft put into service in the '60s. We did new engineering to redesign parts, for example replacing an assembly of three primary components with a single CNC machined piece of aluminum. It just was not possible to fabricate the geometry with tools of that era. The new assy was simpler and stronger. Advances and upkeep like these are what keep old machines flying.
Really? The Cirrus SR20, SR22 don't count? Haven't they been outselling the 172 for several years now?
In particular, as a non-hydrostatic model, the ECMWF gives much better forecasts in mountainous regions like the Eastern Sierra (where I live).
I'm also against these sort of "click saving" summaries. What's next? Two star-crossed lovers commit suicide, someone climbs mountain and makes it down ok ... Sometimes the journey or narrative is interesting even if the outcome is not extraordinary.
