Not to steal @jasonbraier.bsky.social's thunder too much, but (to me at least) this seems one of the clearest statements of how to assess causation for potential career loss cases in the Employment Tribunal. In one of the new President's first judgments as well!

I'm not saying it engages in martial stereotypes. But at the same time I'm not *not* saying that.

I think I'm right as well:
A screenshot of the following text, everything up to 1.2.5 is highlighted. Positive and negative 1.2.2 The positive is often easier to understand than the negative. EXAMPLE Speak after the tone is easier to understand than— Do not speak until you hear the tone 1.2.3 This is of course not a universal rule. A prohibition may be best expressed in the negative (“do not walk on the grass” as opposed to “walk on the path”). 1.2.4 Express quantities positively rather than negatively. EXAMPLE 25% or more rather than not less than 25% 1.2.5 Avoid double negatives wherever it is not impossible to do so.
