  • Assuming your colleague had gotten raises through merit, it’s obviously silly to roll that back, I would’ve thought that they’d account for raises given that it wasn’t actually implied that they had to act on this, just disclose the difference, and this reminds me I’m probably foolish in imagining such a thing would just be itself in a vacuum (ie not fuck up things that are kinda encouraging people to do their job better)

    Could you give me the title of this specific paper

    Sorry for the long wait, “Gender and types of intimate partner violence: A response to an anti-feminist” (literature review) by Johnson MP. in 2011, which was a year before
    I use this paper most of all to show what feminist academics thought even 10 years ago, since the video seemed to still have these misconceptions, and they mostly argue against Straus for misrepresentations and ill conclusions of others’ works and beliefs.

    Your second study doesn’t seem to support the point based on its abstract, from point a to f

    First Study: References Examining Assaults by Women on Their Spouses or Male Partners: An Updated Annotated
    is a bit of a mess, as most of the things citing it doesn’t really use it for the purpose of saying “women are as physically aggressive as men”, and it for some reason brings a child-abuse study(?), a bunch of anecdotes, and an internet survey from the middle of a sociologist’s book (not paper) up in its first part, but this put me down a further rabbithole of Gender Symmetry discussion which I hadn’t delved into before, 1 2 and I’ll admit it at the very least doesn’t seem like a settled debate, so I retract what I have to say about Gender Symmetry itself since idk anymore

    I don’t think it is unreasonable to assume that these aspects may skew the statistics on perpetration rates between men and women.

    I fully agree, (think my wall even says so) but from any not-radfem feminist perspective, this seems to be parts we acknowledge, it’s just also viewed as caused by Patriarchal society as it previously stood and perpetuated by how it currently stands

    Thanks for your input as well, it forced me to learn a little more about what I don’t know















  • Twitter has shown that there is an audience for companies (and apparently presidents) engaging via public social media.
    Corporations rely on algorithms to get attention on their eyes, and it’s especially convenient to have everyone on the internet on a ‘central hub’, where you can make sure the most people have a chance to get hooked on what you do (this is also the case for smaller creators like digital artists)
    as Twitter proves unreliable I imagine corporations as well as smaller freelancers will work to give Meta’s alternative some legitimacy in the public’s eyes so that they’re not shit out of luck
    Though Meta’s bleeding money as it is, they might not be the horse worth betting on anyway.
