 ge\n\nAbstract\n*Are there ever good epistemic reasons to misrepresent b
 ase rates? I investigate this question in the context of recent legislat
 ion restricting the presentation of gender stereotypes\, and the represe
 ntation of minority groups in children’s books. I argue that our hesitan
 cy around certain base rates makes sense in the context of a more genera
 l epistemic dilemma we face: between knowledge of actuality and knowledg
 e of possibility.  Given this dilemma\, there are sound epistemic reason
 s to behave in ways the may involve wariness or misrepresentation of bas
 e rates. This approach has implications for the way in which ethical and
  epistemic norms interact with one another.
