What else is there to rely on, if not data? "Lived experience" is just allegations without proof, and in aggregate it's data. Anecdotes? The word of activists

What else is there to rely on, if not data? "Lived experience" is just allegations without proof, and in aggregate it's data.
Anecdotes? The word of activists that insist that a fifth of men are rapists?
It's fine to say the data isn't reliable, but unreliable data about sexual assault in general isn't reason enough to conclude that McMurdo is a place overrun with rapists
- eldaisfish 4y agoIt is very obvious that your comment is from the perspective of a man. It is important to empathize with women and realise that “data” is not the ultimate source of truth as many supposedly data-driven but racist AI algorithms will show. Women face many structural and social objectives that make “aggregate” data on sexual violence almost meaningless and often counter-intuitive.
