I think you should'nt ask people to downvote that is against the etiquette, I think you will find that this study you link to Matthew's is a very biased study as it only focuses on one type of harassment (sexual), the type that women are over represented in, but then when describing the conclusion calls it harassment, but didnt actually ask the participants if they were harassed, just sexually harassed.

  I think you should'nt ask people to downvote that is against the etiquette I would say that's correct. That doesn't mean I don't feel just the same as the parent, though. It seems about half the posts from transitionality that I've seen on the page so far are shameless attacks. It's blatant enough that I'm actually considering whether it's a performance piece trying to make a point about harassment (but which side the point is supposed to be on is unclear, as it could just be very poorly thought out). In either case, I don't think it has any place on this site.

    Agreed, but asking people to downvote comes across as bullying.

pyrocat told lies. She stated in several places a 1-in-6 statistic for female sexual harassment, which is a lie. http://falserapesociety.blogspot.com/2011/02/one-in-four-lie-demolished-once-and-for.html http://falserapesociety.blogspot.com/2011/02/one-in-four-lie... She also stated in several places that females are the victims of rape more often, which is again a lie. http://betweenletters.quora.com/More-Men-Are-Raped-In-the-US-Than-Women http://betweenletters.quora.com/More-Men-Are-Raped-In-the-US... I've made these corrections at several location throughout the thread, wherever I could catch her doing it. It's very unlikely for you to not have seen them. I can only conclude that your mobbing campaign against me is knowingly malicious, and that you are in cahoots with pyrocat, if not the same person.
