Thread on pornography and sexual media
Watching pornography is associated with higher rates of erectile dysfunction.

A possible explanation is that watching porn results in psychological tolerance where you get desensitized and more and more porn is required over time for the same feeling.

academic.oup.com/milmed/advance…
90% of pornography contained physical violent acts against women, while 50% contained verbal abuse against women.

According to social cognitive theory, viewers who watch such media will be more likely to abuse women.

journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…
Consumption of pornography resulted in higher rates of committing actual acts of sexual aggression & increased attitudes supportive of violence, regardless if the porn was violent or not.

Nor was this was not moderated by, age, gender, or nationality.

Thread on Islam
Muslim women who dressed more modestly were more secure about their body image, and less likely to be pressured by Western media beauty standards.

Whereas Muslim women who did not wear hijabs and wore western clothing were more insecure about their body.

sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Compared to non-Muslim Western women who wore Western clothing, Muslim women who wear conservative Islamic clothing (i.e hijabs/abayas) had higher self-esteem, better body image, healthier body weight, felt less sexually objectified & more respected.

Thread on human sexuality
Watching porn results in people having less sex. It also causes men to judge their parents more be critical of their bodies and have unrealistic exceptions of them. Women are pressured to mimic acts seen in porn and forced to get plastic surgery

tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
People who pay for sex or have sex outside of marriage are more unhappy than those who don't. Less educated women have more sexual partners as do unemployed people and those who had divorced parents.

Thread on religion and atheism
Atheism and agnostic beliefs result in suicidal thoughts. Atheist doctors and non-religious hospitals also were more likely to recommend suicide to their patients.
link.springer.com/article/10.100…
Atheists have the highest rate of suicide in the world, followed by Buddhists(reincarnation?), Christians and Hindus. Muslims have the lowest rates due to being more religious. For Christians it's probably high because they're only culturally religious

Yes. A culture that is supremacist, narcissist, predatory, genocidal. A 'divine' ethos that "abounds" with double standards, and that, for 2500 years, has encouraged its cult members to lie, cheat, rob, and murder "outsiders". Then kvetches and cries "victim" for being "othered".
That verse in St. John's Revelations *17* talking about a religious whore called "Mystery, Babylon the Great", with a "golden cup" filled with "abominations"?

Say hello to Babylonian Talmudic Judaism.

A #thread on my recent social media in Myanmar report with @SydneyUni_Media for @SaveUKNews:
Anthropologists get really excited when someone asks us to design research, so when Save the Children #Myanmar contacted me about this project I was thrilled. There are a lot of truisms about internet use in Myanmar that haven’t really been tested empirically.
For instance, the idea that ‘Facebook is the internet’ is so prevalent its hardly ever questioned. We wanted to design a piece of research that would actually enable us to look into people’s digital worlds, to see how they constructed and maintained them.

We desperately need #GunReform laws in the U.S. #MassacreMitch has an A+ rating by the NRA, & has taken $ MILLIONS, ensuring no gun laws pass.

R’s are handmaidens to the gun lobby, ensuring thousands die yearly, so long as they get #NRABloodMoney. courier-journal.com/story/news/pol…
Now #MassacreMitch has stated he will only allow a Senate vote on #GunReform laws IF #VeryStableGenius is guaranteed to sign it. He wants to be absolved of any responsibility.

What.

A.

Leader.
These deaths are on his hands though. He requests to be known as the Grim Reaper on passing legislation. He certainly lives up to the name.

The NRA is in Republicans’ pocketbooks as well as ears, telling them how to spread fear & lies about guns to the public.

We know better.

Why is Auto Industry Bleeding currently?

#Thread (1/n)
1. Post GST truck & CV movements have improved by anywhere between 30-40% due to removal of hurdles at border checks.. this has improved existing vehicle utilization by 30%.

2. Govt has increased the allowable tonnage load by 25%

#Thread (2/n)
3. Both these factors have improved commercial vehicles utilization by almost 50-60%.

4. This means for existing fleet to reach optimal utilization, it needs 50-60% more load than earlier before new vehicles can be planned.

I SPEAK TO THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK YOUR VOTES DON'T OR WON'T COUNT - so you decide to vote for the popular candidates or stay away from voting.

Let's think about the ALTERNATIVE and some possibilities.

#Thread
If you have been voting for the popular candidates or stayed away from voting, I am sure by now you understand the results of both choices haven't met your expectation.
The popular candidates always think they will win irrespective of what they throw at the people. They have the money so they can spend their way through the system.
