If you're still interested in how to go about bringing this up, I recommend that you just stop having female friends, since quibbling over the scale of an obvious problem that you admit exists is a great way to lose friends while gaining nothing.

And yeah, as noted above, this is overfocusing on a tiny minority of cases. 140 total. In the history of Title IX. Which has been around since 1972.

Because your writer is a wonderful person she doesn't define what the 140 mean. But it's clear that this is the number of cases of lives being noticeably impacted by a false claim.

This is a small slice of the issue of 'rape is a big problem.' You're trying to say that 'not-rape that might have affected up to 28 people per year is as big a problem as completed rape, which affects an underreported 65,000 people per year.' The numbers just do not add up.

So, do you think that universities should be slower to react to problems? Or do you think that a maximum of 28 is a larger number than a minimum of 65,000?

These are dumb equivalencies cooked up to cover for the fact that the response to this is, in typical modern feminist fashion, simply more tribalism. You asked for proof, you got it, now you're making some argument I didn't about how I don't care enough about helping rape victims. You know who was staunchly anti-rape?

Stone Cold! Stone Cold! I got a bingo! I got a full fuckin' bingo! "Feminists are the new KKK" AND "The KKK really just cared about protecting women from black men" in one post. Fan fuckin' tastic.

You're overfocusing on a minor aspect of an issue. The issue is rape. You're focusing on how a vanishingly small number of men are affected by false/mistaken accusations of it, rather than the larger issue of, I dunno, 65,000 rapes happening to women between the ages of 18 and 24 every loving year. That's not counting how many women are told not to report what happened to them, or how many are pressured into it, or how many believe that spousal rape isn't a real issue because people like you tell them that marriages are rape-free zones and any sexual activity that happens in them is 100% legal.

But please, tell us who our equivalent of a grand cyclops is, oh stauch defender of the righteous KKK. Is it someone from Tumblr? I'm guessing it's someone from Tumblr.

OKAY title ix is complicated!

title ix requires that federally funded schools provide equal opportunity regardless of sex and sexuality. discrimination by willful negligence is a violation, and that letting sexual assault run without addressing it is willful negligence.

schools have fairly broad discretion to punish or expel misbehaving students. nobody expects a jury trial when you expel a student for, say, plagiarism or failing all of their classes.

i don't really know the timeline of how this changed through rulings, but title ix came to be construed to require schools to prevent sexual harassment and sexual assault. the tool they had to do that was their arbitrary discipline apparatus. schools are struggling to create a situation where they administer justice in a reasonable, transparent way.

mras have latched on to this with their usual lack of perspective about academic justice and sexual justice, but they are latching onto a tiny piece of a much larger real problem - a problem that often breaks down with universities attempting to use arbitration to cover up sexual assault. mras are working the ref but that doesn't mean there aren't problems.

Smorgasbord posted:

Sorry, I should have been more specific - I dispute the scale of the gender gap stated by mainstream media and feminists based on the ONS figures here: https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentan...pay-differences


It is inevitably positioned as an outright gap of 20-30% when all factors are controlled for other than gender which is patently untrue. I wish there was more thought and analysis put into properly controlling for all contributing factors so we can identify the real gap and have a proper discussion about what can be done. The starting point for that to me is an honest discussion about what the stats mean (that at an aggregate level men do earn 20-30% more than females, but this does not mean that women are paid less for the same performance in the same role by 20-30%). This allows for a much more valuable discussion about the choices made by men and women around employment and any improvements we can make to balance up family commitments , but it's difficult to get there because of the statistical misrepresentation put forward in the media and popular feminism.

Basically I'm looking for a way to get around the dishonest use of the statistics to push an agenda, and get down to the actual core reasons for the difference. I am completely willing to accept that there likely is a gender bias in there at some level but I think we can all agree it's not 20-30% in the same job.

edit: apparently we can't all agree on that

I think that the first step is to think about how you are assigning motive to things. If you start with the assumption that evil femminists are dishonestly trying to push an agenda, then that is where you are going to end. But if you can conceive that maybe people are actually acting in good faith, you might get somewhere. The gaps you see in headlines aren't dishonest, they are starting points into an incredibly complex discussion (or even without the discussion, you want to get people thinking). "I wish there was more thought into proper analysis" is along the same lines, it assumes that the people doing this are lazy or incompetent or something whereas maybe its just insanely hard / they did what was possible given their expertise and the data. And then if you go into an actual discussion from the starting point of trying to refute the evil "statistical misrepresentations", obviously people are going to be defensive / respond in equally bad faith (as has been the result in this thread). Whereas if you are willing to actually accept things as useful data points as pieces of a puzzle, and actively want to make the world a better place for everyone, then you can more productively think about/discuss how we fix problems or even better collect/analyse/market information, etc..


Aside:
If you try to take your hardcore science etc study and get someone to write a news article about it, the journalist inevitably tries to get from you the key messages, the big ticket things that are going to get people reading the article. And an easy to understand overarching statistic is like that. This process can be pretty frustrating for all parties involved because you know the thing you've done and how excited you are about the details but they don't know anything about your expert thing but they know what people actually want to read (which probably isn't your statistical methodology). The result can often be a bit worrying as the non-journalist. But one thing I was once told is that you probably want to think of media type stuff and science type stuff differently, they have very different goals and styles.

Stone Cold! Stone Cold! I got a bingo! I got a full fuckin' bingo! "Feminists are the new KKK" AND "The KKK really just cared about protecting women from black men" in one post. Fan fuckin' tastic.

You're overfocusing on a minor aspect of an issue. The issue is rape. You're focusing on how a vanishingly small number of men are affected by false/mistaken accusations of it, rather than the larger issue of, I dunno, 65,000 rapes happening to women between the ages of 18 and 24 every loving year. That's not counting how many women are told not to report what happened to them, or how many are pressured into it, or how many believe that spousal rape isn't a real issue because people like you tell them that marriages are rape-free zones and any sexual activity that happens in them is 100% legal.

But please, tell us who our equivalent of a grand cyclops is, oh stauch defender of the righteous KKK. Is it someone from Tumblr? I'm guessing it's someone from Tumblr.

OKAY title ix is complicated!

title ix requires that federally funded schools provide equal opportunity regardless of sex and sexuality. discrimination by willful negligence is a violation, and that letting sexual assault run without addressing it is willful negligence.

schools have fairly broad discretion to punish or expel misbehaving students. nobody expects a jury trial when you expel a student for, say, plagiarism or failing all of their classes.

i don't really know the timeline of how this changed through rulings, but title ix came to be construed to require schools to prevent sexual harassment and sexual assault. the tool they had to do that was their arbitrary discipline apparatus. schools are struggling to create a situation where they administer justice in a reasonable, transparent way.

mras have latched on to this with their usual lack of perspective about academic justice and sexual justice, but they are latching onto a tiny piece of a much larger real problem - a problem that often breaks down with universities attempting to use arbitration to cover up sexual assault. mras are working the ref but that doesn't mean there aren't problems.

In 2011 the government specifically and illegally instructed colleges to take up the mantle of judge and jury on student's lives using a much lower standard of proof and stripping the accused of the rights they would normally have. We are now in the full-on disaster phase of this instruction, where even most feminist professors admit it's a completely failed and unfair system. Unfortunately, the tribe of modern feminism disagrees even with the professors who are the source of their own ideology and continues to defend this type of behavior with what amount to right-wing talking points and fear-mongering.
