@dannycantalk @Oneiorosgrip @Tekla_Too @Firebird_psych @Judith_Char @weathagirl @anti_fembot @ladies4pd @Gaea56998567 Ideologues aren’t “everyone.” Pragmatists are the opposite of ideologues. There’s a spectrum in between. Some folks have all information filtered by ideology rather than life experience and education — that is an ideologue. Merely having principles doesn’t make one an ideologue.
@dannycantalk @Oneiorosgrip @Tekla_Too @Firebird_psych @Judith_Char @weathagirl @anti_fembot @ladies4pd @Gaea56998567 Introducing character judgments in a debate is often in the form of an ad hominem, an insult, or a combination of the two. This isn’t merely “no you” but an observation (acknowledging exceptions) about when people who filter reality through their ideology use such tactics.
@dannycantalk @Oneiorosgrip @Tekla_Too @Firebird_psych @Judith_Char @weathagirl @anti_fembot @ladies4pd @Gaea56998567 You can tell an ideologue from others because their mind can’t change when presented with new information that’s demonstrably reliably gathered. Ideologues can’t change their mind under such circumstances as the information doesn’t exist to them as their ideology filters it out.
@dannycantalk @Oneiorosgrip @Tekla_Too @Firebird_psych @Judith_Char @weathagirl @anti_fembot @ladies4pd @Gaea56998567 As for your problem with “usually,” the Ideal Gas Law doesn’t apply to any gasses as none are “ideal,” but it’s a very useful approximation of real gas behavior in many situations where gases will be so measured. Sargon’s Law notes upfront that exceptions exist through “usually.”

@eminently_me5 @Eminently_Me Where? You have only demonstrated that you have poor reading comprehension. First, you claim the study says that the "vast majority of perps are men and the victims are majority women" (archive.ph/XDGxP), but the study shows the opposite ().
@eminently_me5 @Eminently_Me You then claim that there "some subsets in which it is equal" but that "in the total set, it is primarily men attacking women" (archive.ph/3Jplg), but the study shows the opposite () as indicated in this chart showing all the data analyzed.
@eminently_me5 @Eminently_Me However, the study does show that a lot of women rape women in institutions like prison and jail (both in adult and juvenile populations), which it appears that you are trying to blame on men somehow. 🤣 Your demonstrable lack of reading comprehension is laughable.

@eminently_me5 There are academic studies that don't support your contention, @eminently_me5, that women are only or primarily defensively abusing men (archive.ph/VqwkS), but rather suggest that women abuse men more often than men abuse women.

Let's look at some more studies, shall we?
@eminently_me5 With physical aggression, "studies consistently find that as many women self-report perpetrating this behavior as do men; some studies find a higher prevalence of physical aggression committed by women" (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…, p. 2), but only a minority of women are arrested.
@eminently_me5 Notes @TheJusticeDept: "[w]ife defendants had a lower conviction rate than husband defendants…. Of the 222 wife defendants, 70% were convicted of killing their mate. By contrast, of the 318 husband defendants, 87% were convicted of spouse murder" (bjs.gov/content/pub/pd…, p. 2).

@eminently_me5 @Firebird_psych @Oneiorosgrip @DavidsonYorick Probably many of those “rapes” weren’t rape. DNA evidence suggests that between a fifth and a quarter of rapes women report are either completely false or misidentify the rapist. There isn’t statistically significant data regarding false rape allegations from male victims.
@eminently_me5 @Firebird_psych @Oneiorosgrip @DavidsonYorick It is worth noting that, of the rape allegations that are reported and where DNA testing has been performed, apparently "the current 'exclusion' rate [of rape suspects] for forensic DNA labs [is] close to 25 percent" according to Rockne Harmon (ncjrs.gov/txtfiles/dnaev…).
@eminently_me5 @Firebird_psych @Oneiorosgrip @DavidsonYorick "Every year since 1989, in about 25 percent of the sexual assault cases referred to the FBI where results could be obtained…, the primary suspect has been excluded by forensic DNA testing" according to Peter Neufeld, Esq., and Barry C. Scheck (ncjrs.gov/txtfiles/dnaev…).

Let's talk 19th Century.

@Sneshka_Richter @Tekla_Too @wjm73675578 @PhilMitchell83 @SeagerMJ @LavAgarwal95 @bytecrack @UN_Women Well, this is why I asked whether or not you would predict that women work as much as or more than men when adding up domestic labor and paid labor and, in particular, whether or not women who don’t have child care responsibilities work as many hours at paid work as men.
@Sneshka_Richter @Tekla_Too @wjm73675578 @PhilMitchell83 @SeagerMJ @LavAgarwal95 @bytecrack @UN_Women The so-called "wage gap" is women's median earnings divided by men's median earnings.

While "salaries" are usually indifferent to the amount of time one works, "wages" are not.

So if there is a #GenderedLaborGap, it would impact the so-called "wage gap."
@Sneshka_Richter @Tekla_Too @wjm73675578 @PhilMitchell83 @SeagerMJ @LavAgarwal95 @bytecrack @UN_Women However, the problem is deeper than that. If women with kids are working at paid work fewer hours due to the unpredictability of childcare responsibilities as you suggest @Sneshka_Richter, we should expect that problem to not exist for women who don't have kids, but that's false.
