What? A bunch of autistic male nerds obsessed with how smart they are don't respect women? I'm so suprised.

Anyway, I dismissed EA because I dismiss basically all forms of utilitarian ethics. When you try to use math and statistics to form your entire moral basis, you can kinda justify anything you want, and get to some weird contradictory judgements as well.

Is autism correlated with disrespect of women?
Not directly. But it is directly correlated with disregard for others feelings, and general lack of social awareness. Which in the case of male EA nerds certainly seems to lead to a lot of situations in which women were disrespected to say the least.
