Big ol' [citation needed] on that one.
- hypeatei 1y agoI do think the original commenter could've elaborated more, but asking for citations in this type of thread seems strange. It's not like politics where you can link to a statement from <representative of political party> to prove a point. There is no single representative of men or women.
- some_furry 1y agoNo, but this is the sort of thing you'd expect the social sciences to have published research on if it were at all true.
- pavel_lishin 1y agoFair. I guess I wanted them to explain a statement that, to me, seems both wrong and ludicrous, and basically a dogwhistle.
- dragonwriter 1y ago> It's not like politics where you can link to a statement from <representative of political party> to prove a point. Yes, a quote from a party representative is not the kind of evidence called for, but “women control the culture” is a fact claim which does call for some kind of evidence (either directly provided or as a citation to someone else who has provided it.)
- Invictus0 1y agoNot op but there is some evidence emerging that women have an advantage in hiring in media and academia. https://www.stevestewartwilliams.com/p/rethinking-sexism-in-science https://www.stevestewartwilliams.com/p/rethinking-sexism-in-...
- dragonwriter 1y ago"Have an advantage in hiring in media and academia", even if true, is a very large distance from "control the culture".
