30 years ago were people similarly advocating for violence or conducting violent protests, which people at the time didn't see shared or upvoted, thereby creating the perception today that there's some huge rising problem when in

I think broadly, many movements on the left and right owe some of their language, some of their terminology - to critical theory. For example, media scepticism and the idea of education-as-propaganda were further developed by critical theo

What happened to you?

Sure, but the over the top SJW shenanigans are shared and upvoted somewhere, amirite? Or is this all based on SJWs you know in real life?

I think we see it through a lens of what gets upvoted and shared, and the actual irl people involved in these movements and the activism aren't the caricatures we see online.

I can only speak as an ex-postgrad philosophy major and Australian left-wing political activist, but I haven't heard anyone mention critical theory in an activist context for years.

The author seems to rest on "critical theory" and come to a stop. I feel like the author is using critical theory as a ten dollar word because claiming it is central to social justice topics is a gross oversimplification. Addition

That's not what I asked.

Sorry, what question did I ask that you think this report is answering?

by tomlock 9y ago
Your interjection here isn't answering a question I asked. Are you saying that because men are more likely to face harassment, that women are not harassed more when they present as women online?

That's obviously true, but it doesn't detract from the point that women, in this case and many others, are unfairly targeted for abuse, particularly online.

There are plenty of people out there who think the legal inequalities faced by women are now completely removed, and everything is therefore ok. Not only is that an incorrect premise, but its an incorrect conclusion - women face significan

But also, the percentage of the userbase responding poorly also responded almost an order of magnitude more when the person on the other end was a woman.

Or it could be a pattern repeated over thousands of years that requires serious intervention.

But Eric and Kapwing Team got significantly less of the anonymous hate than the two women.

How many more instances of this happening do we need before people believe there's actually a problem in society surrounding sexism? Honestly I expect to see equivocation more than indictment in the comments section here.

The crux of this though is he's moving from a place he deems too "politically correct" to a place that's uhhhhh, how should I put this? A place with a better environment for innovation. A place with better free speech

Good for him. I guess he's moving from a politically correct place (obviously negative) to the place that's correct enough, politically, for him (obviously positive). /s

I think Sokal inadvertently provided the first in a wave of critiques of academic publishing - not necessarily just of this specific "fashion" on the left. We now know from numerous studies that even in scientific journals publis

This struck a chord with me. I worked in AdTech for two years and wanted to pull my own eyes out because of this. The reason this happens is that nobody involved gets anything out of stopping this happening. Incoming extreme cynicism. Fir

Kinda sorta! It's definitely class and geographically based in Australia, and definitely negative.

I didn't call anyone weird, I said I found it weird. I didn't say that it wasn't possible for someone working for a company with huge cash reserves to have been paid fairly.

by tomlock 9y ago
Well, perhaps you can see that saying people who are "fortunate" are "jerks" for complaining when something isn't fair is quite baffling, then? And perhaps you can see that using the phrase "this is something h
