I mean, he is. As is every left leaning politician. Because whites and men are mostly Republican/conservative.

Goldberg was overconfident in her citing of a fact sheet based on the 2014 BJS paper we’ve discussed, which was based on the NCVS. She missed the discussion in the book, whether because she didn’t recognize the name of the underlying instrument or because it was five pages long a hundred pages deep into the book. It’s…

I appreciate you engaging in the discussion in good faith. I can see how you might have missed the page cite I made for the 2015 report - it’s in the executive summary at pages 8-9 (labeled xiii-ix, the page in the pdf is the roman number value for the entire executive summary). You are correct that the AAU asks about…

The link I posted (and you relinked) is a 2014 study. It obviously does not summarize and discuss a 2015 study. On pages 2-3 it does compare its data source (the National Crime Victim Survey) to two other data sources (the 2007 CSA and the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS), which is an…

The 2007 study is the CSA. It is the most commonly cited study for the 1 in 5 statistic (e.g. by RAINN). As I showes, it does not include stalking.

You are incorrect about the CSA’s definition of “sexual assault”, as a quick glance at the executive summary or appendix would show you. The CSA included “rape and other types of unwanted sexual contact” in its definition of sexual assault (p. viii-ix). It looked at all “unwanted sexual contact” that occurred as a…

You’re spouting nonsense. The study I linked is a study based on National Crime Victim Survey data, which has nothing to do with the “1 in 5” number which originates with the 2007 Campus Sexual Assault study and was supported by the 2015 AAU Climate Survey, both of which used valid methods. The study I linked actually…

The dispute mentioned in the article comes down to this study, and Stassa Edwards does a good job of independently evaluating the dispute (i.e. it’s reasonable to believe that campus rape is a unique problem despite that study). Goldberg relies on the validity of NCVS for that claim and another (rape has declined…

I’m shocked by the fact that they found no direct effect of the picture on a general level (p.7). I had thought it was well-established that white audiences in general were less sympathetic to welfare programs benefitting Black recipients

Lol, indivisible :

Great spotlight on some great activists.

I did, sorry. Looking at the pending comments I see you beat me to it. You’re absolutely right that socialization has a lot of explanatory power (e.g. the magnitude of gender differences varies across country or race).

Women do tend to score higher on Neuroticism than men, though the difference between the means is less than a full standard deviation indicating a substantial overlap.

But that is actually true (or rather, the fact that women tend to exhibit more “neuroticism” in the psychological meaning of the word is well established - every women doesn’t score higher than every man and the difference could also be explained by socialization). The difference in the top study I’ve linked below was…

I’m a guy, and I have zero problem with that argument. The premise is well established (men are much more violent than women), and the conclusion is reasonable.

Why wouldn’t you believe the woman?

He’s Mitt Romney without the Mormonism.

They don’t all have the same outcome. Walter Scott’s murdered ended up taking a plea that will result in jail time, and the cop who shot Levar Jones is in jail awaiting sentencing. Far too often the outcome is a paid vacation, but there are a few cops who do end up losing their jobs and a smaller minority that face…

I feel like this murder is getting a lot more coverage than the assault of Sureshbhai Patel, which provoked huge outrage in India - that cop ended up walking.

So we should just give up now? Go home everybody, there’s no hope.
