I'm not sure how I feel about the idea that women are viewed as potential catastrophes. That's probably just where we're at with identity politics these days.
- nickpsecurity 8y agoThanks! It's not a good situation. I don't think it's identity politics so much as specific practices that leverage media, corporate and viral social, to severely punish people for alleged crimes without evidence other than presence and claims of a woman. Another commenter described it like a superweapon that women can use against men working with women. If folks are using a superweapon and it only works on men working with women, then the mere existence of it will lead to men aiming for prevention to remove the circumstance that gives the superweapon power: women's presence. I'd rather the superweapon not exist or be used only based on stronger evidence given its catastrophic effects. Otherwise, we're back to men wanting control over their lives/careers minimizing catastrophes by treating women as potential catastrophes. If not in general, then they'll do it for private or couple-looking meetings with them. As we're seeing.
