Quite interesting. Title had me wary but it's good.

"Demos categorised tweets as offensive if they contained 1 or more of the abusive words included in Google's search language filter"
An offensive tweet according to that list of words: "ah balls, pisses me off when that happens too, sorry mate"Not an offensive tweet according to that list: "(your address here) I know where you live and you don't deserve to. I'm gonna rape you and kill you tonight"

yeah I don't need to follow links to know that the only way that could be "true" is through selective manipulation of data

Yet we bolster the same stereotypes when we focus on nasty things said to women while trivializing threats against men even though men are much more likely to be victims of violence by strangers.
this is brilliantly obtuse

Was just going to post the same complaint about the Demos study. And that's probably the most potentially-substantive piece of evidence in the whole article. It's a bunch of dubious claims, dubiously strung together, in a way guaranteed to give ammunition to misogynists looking to downplay online harassment of women and portray them as deluded and irrational.

I know.
The first article was interesting to me mainly because of the various controversies referenced that I was previously unaware of. I realised just as I posted that what I had written sounded like an endorsement of those views and I knew I'd probably regret it.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Monday, 15 September 2014 23:06 (nine years ago) link
And also knew that my response to the second article would make me look an embarrasing clown, no way of avoiding it.

^shocked to see that "mathematicians and mathematical scientists" are split 51% men, 49% women. this is wholly contrary to the stereotype.
― Aimless, Saturday, 4 October 2014 17:09 (nine years ago) link
the fields i work in are the most male-dominated on the chart: boilermakers (99.8%), concrete and cement workers (99.3%), heating, air conditioning and refrigeration mechanics (98.9%), heavy equipment and farm equipment mechanics (98.8%), operating engineers of construction equipment (98.4%), excavating and loading machine operators (98.2%), electric power installers and repairers (98.2%), electricians (98.2%), repairers of industrial electrical equipment (97.1%), etc.
ime a lot of the support staff for companies in those industries are women - but yeah, i don't think i've ever seen a woman rig out a piece of heavy equipment before

i caught about 10 min of the dr phil show yesterday and steve harvey was on explaining to women what they were doing wrong (it looked like the whole show was about women and what they're doing wrong) and why they were still single. this one woman said that she thinks (and has been told) that men are intimidated by her success, and steve harvey responded in such a way that i honestly couldn't believe what i was hearing.
he said the following, not in exact words but not far off: * NOTHING you could possibly do would be intimidating to a real man* without us, you can't make babies* without us, you can't have families* without us, you can't move a refrigerator
wtf
― cross over the mushroom circle (La Lechera), Tuesday, 7 October 2014 23:03 (nine years ago) link
oh he also said "and if you can move a refrigerator by yourself, you're going to have a REAL hard time finding a man" what a cretin

I mean seriously terrible example, that's like one thing you virtually never move. You get it delivered, that's it til the day it dies! Most places you move into already have one! You are in television guy, think of a better example!
He's crazy, I move the fridge every time I sweep the floor. They SCOOTCH, you know. No one is picking them up with one hand like a super hero--not even MEN.

It's Impossible to Prevent Someone From Eyefucking You
We asked 10 women in eight countries to record every instance of street harassment -- every catcall, every ass-ogle, every creepy look -- for an entire week. The results? A strong argument for just becoming a shut-in.

At happy hour, Boston’s coworkers pump him for details: How is going out with a sugar baby different from hiring an escort? He answers that he hires escorts, too, but that sugar babies are more like real dates. He doesn’t care if his peers judge him—he is transparent (Bruce Boston is his real name), awash in women, and, frankly, effervescent about it. Sugaring, he says, has changed his life. - See more at: http://www.modernluxury.com/san-francisco/story/im-rich-youre-hot#sthash.YwXUpvjs.dpuf
