I follow a bunch of science AND gender writers/tweeters/researchers on Twitter so this is All Over My Feed last two days and there are loads of absolutely terrible takes but definitely my least favourite is Economics Bro being like “uhhh this can’t be true because pharma companies want to make money? so obvs they

Maybe her team sat her down and told her attacking every woman that looks offsets way isn't good for your career. 

That baby doesn’t like pink, pink has been thrust upon her.

“People always ask me… “Ice you’ve meet a lot of people in your career.. Who’s cool and who’s an Asshole..?” Here’s the thing… Everyones totally cool……. To your face.”

Pardon me for being an old fart, and pre-internet internet user (BITNET, anyone?), but this is just more fallout from the terrible misdirection away from self-hosting that happened as the 2000's got underway.

I think part of the issue was that the original term was an actual occupational aspect that is associated with jobs women take but both demonstrable and not specifically gendered, while the new definition seems to be anything a woman might do and is very open to the fact that you can’t see other people’s use and thus

Lexi Zhorela, a 24-year-old hairdresser who lives in Bismarck, told the Associated Press she was “furious” at her inclusion. As she describes it, she had never meant for her story, which she had previously only shared with a small group of people, to become public.

You might want to revise your phrasing then because your opening sentence certainly sounds that way.

The fact that you read this as an attack on white women rather than on the men who use them as political pawns when they die tragically is pretty telling.

Yeah, white women do plenty to uphold both the patriarchy and white supremacy, but the proper title of this article should be ‘misogynistic, white supremacist only cares about violence against women when he can use it for his own gain'. But, you know, that wouldn't generate clicks or comments like this one. 

It was actually 3 months, and the police did an extremely good job for once. This is bad summarization by Jezebel, the article details the police investigation.

If you care to read through the source article, it was pretty much pure luck they even managed to track the guy down.

Just want to make sure you read the original article or other people’s comments and see that the police actually did their due diligence on this. The guy wasn’t driving for Uber that night and they had to do a lot to track him down. This wasn’t the police just not caring. It was a poorly written Jezebel article.

That’s because they didn’t actually call an Uber. The dude just picked them up after seeing them on the street, and said he’d give them a ride home. She at first thought she had been in a police car. They actually did a ton of work to find the guy. You should read the Miami times article which goes into real detail.

To everyone getting up set that it took a month to track him down: Read the Miami New Times article. The rapist was an Uber driver who offered the victim a ride home. He wasn’t hailed via the app so the cops actually had to do some leg work to track him down.

Awful that it took so long, but from this article in the Miami New Times, it sounds like she didn’t call an Uber, he happens to be an Uber driver who was waiting outside the club to offer drunk girls a ride home. Aka, a predator.
