Specifically an intersectional feminist. It's worth observing that Crockford's own intersections are that he's older, white, cis-male, an authority figure; which ticks just about every box for being an intersectional feminis

Was that you who flagged me for quoting your expletives? Or are you flagging me for quoting AIC 2015 data on 10 years on NHMP and case notes?

And NO you can't use it as a springboard by socially engineering misandry and prejudice. You only springboard MORE violence by (1) complerely ignoring that women are starting the vast majority of it (2) telling those women to keep go

I wouldn't call WR 'one data point' when it's by FAR the most recognised product brand name in DV.

So White Ribbon Australia was a women's initiative now (before they entirely took it over and turned it against men)? Well that's some nice rewriting of history. Maybe a few more women should be focusing on what THEY can do to re

That said, black Americans are relatively more likely to be financially disadvantaged in the first place (which skews the weight of attention warranted I guess).

The mortality gap between white and black Americans still exists, but has closed dramatically in recent decades. Mortality rates are still far worse for men than women though. But particularly, that poverty affects male mortality far more t

p.s. since you mention gay couples, worth noting that 94% of male partners killed in DV are killed by women. Also that 41% of lesbian couples in Australia report having experienced abuse by same-sex partners, 29% for gay men (AIFS, 2015) a

He's not misrepresenting the DV policy when Turnbull makes comments like, quote: "domestic violence - which is just violence against women". 40% of DV homicide victims in Australia are male and 20% are children (52% of those

The big issue with Signal at the moment, is that it doesn't work on AOSP. You can't use it without installing closed-source Google Apps (Play Services for GCM at minimum), and means you agree to hand over your phone metadata to Go

Indeed. People interested in open source for this type of stuff are usually interested in security. Recommend moving the project.

Hi @Arathorn, the battery drain of that experimental build is certainly noticeable, but not disastrous. In 18 hours on a new Nexus 6p, it's drained the battery 30%. Conversations.IM by comparison had only drained 1%. The next biggest b

I should clarify "The core issue with XMPP was that MSN Messenger, ICQ, etc. had deeper pockets.", is not precisely correct. The core issue is that they had a captive audience, continual popups and enormous barriers to entry again
