As opposed to India, the beacon of women’s rights. We just don’t like hatemongering

Imagine being Zionist in 2025

Let me know how those mid terms went freshman! I know it’s exciting to be at university and all but you should learn to read the room

I think it’s good that you’re trying to back your claims by sources / papers but your response tells me that you’re not trained (yet) in reading papers critically. Those are just some random question that came up from the top of my head and that any scientist would ask if someone were to present the findings of this study at a conference. This kind of rigor, to not blindly accept results but to critically evaluate them and poke holes in the arguments is what makes academia academia. I’m kind of surprised that you throw around papers and then get offended if people don’t blindly accept whatever you say, it’s kind of an interesting appeal to authority fallacy.

Or might just have reported more vs others, which idk but would be similar to e.g. sexual violence statistics in Scandinavian countries where officially they have much more harassment etc. than other countries, but this is just because women are more encouraged to actually go to the police and report it.

I can’t be bothered to read the paper, but here are some evergreens that make this result hard to interpret:

• The sample includes women from all ages and boomer Karens would not report abuse
• On the other hand, being bi or lesbian has only been accepted by society since the last 10-20 years. Don’t believe me? Just watch some 90s sitcom like Friends.
• Being bi or lesbian still comes together with a special type of discrimination that a straight woman most likely will never experience; hence, straight women are potentially less sensitized to abuse / might have a different bar for what they consider abuse
• Putting together these very different groups of people with very different experiences on what is “normal” will result in them having a very different sensitivity towards what they would consider abuse
• In other words a young, bi/lesbian woman is probably more likely to report abuse than an old straight woman, an old lesbian woman who is just happy might never engage with researchers because of the past societal stigma that makes her keep her life private

Of course we don’t know any of that, but these psychological studies are difficult to conduct because in theory you’d have to account for these effects and in practice that might be impossible. But again, I haven’t bothered to read the whole thing just to prove a point.

I voted for Harris

Could this be any clearer?

I honestly don’t know anymore what to do with this blue MAGA bs. You can say that you ate Harris out while voting for her but you don’t agree with her pro genocide stance and because you said one critical word they’d still tell you that you made Trump happen somehow?

Muslim is not a race and racism isn’t about car races, now say something not racist about Muslims.

I just told you why people are downvoting you that’s all

I get that you’re pissed about the downvotes but you’re really just killing the messenger here

I think the problem is just with the formulation "fix the Muslim problem“, personally I’d never use that and I 99% expect something racist as a follow up if I poke enough.

What’s there to watch? They’re a Nazi quasi dictatorship and you can watch in real time how the political elites there radicalize more and more. Will we express our concerns when they lock up LGBTQ+ people? Will we strongly condemn when they’re being put in concentration camps because Orban realized you can get away with anything nowadays?

We’re way past the time where we should just watch, idk what to do exactly honestly but a first step could be to freeze all assets and block their vetoing rights. I don’t want to seem them leave the EU because of all the exile and anti-Orban Hungarians who’d be punished similarly to what happened with brexit though.

Or Germany, or Italy, or Netherlands, or …, no threat of fascism in Europe /s

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted for that.

It just sounds weird to call your enemies cavemen honestly. I know they’re the fucking Taliban and stuff, but there’s something to it that is hard to explain. If we’d be talking about Sam Losco on the other hand, that’d be a different story as that guy is a literal caveman.

Nice deflection. Classic “blame the voter” propaganda. You’re using a false dilemma to avoid addressing the actual issue: Dems actively funded and supported the genocide despite massive protests from their base.

Trump being bad doesn’t absolve Harris/Dems of responsibility for their own actions. Democratic leadership chose genocide over winning. They gambled that voters had no choice but to vote for them anyway. They lost that bet.

And with this I’m out, no time for blue MAGA.

Let’s admit it, mondoweiss is hamas, let’s throw a bomb on them and be done with those terrorists!

For real tho, Israel has been throwing 2,000 pound bombs on Gaza for more than 1.5 years, why wouldn’t Rafah be rubble? What else should it be?

Some people I’ll never understand…

Okay I’ll take the bait. Thought we’re done with this bullshit discussion.

Maybe Kamala should have given a fuck about Palestinians. Why do you leave out the part where she showed the middle finger to her own voters whenever she could, same as Biden? People have been telling the dems for a year to support Palestine or lose their vote, but the dems were willing to lose the election over Palestine and they did. The democrats betrayed their voters, not the other way around.

Probably crypto, just get a euro stablecoin, anything else is gonna be pretty complicated

Yeah definitely my fault that the mushroom croquettes come with surprise bacon on top or that a starter I had no idea I would be getting had tuna in it /s

Not my country so I am mostly laughing about it, but if I’d be Spanish and vegetarian I’d start riots lol
