@itslaylas The people getting mad know it's impossible to change the minds of the general public on this, so they only pop up in spaces where they feel like they can say every nasty thing they think up with impunity and seem like the good guys. They know this doesn't work irl.
@itslaylas While respectability has often been weaponized, most of the time it's good to treat others in a way that is respectable! We've swung the pendulum too far, which is how people like this claim Reese's statements are "violence" but abject cruelty is cool and good and noble.
@theashleyray On the doll: what was the point of ordering a new one? Trying to plant one w/o duct tape residue at the house? Do you think the grandma was in on the whole thing?
@2luvkho @LiterallyCanada@gaymergir Also, as OP notes there are other studies on this and similar findings have replicated. I'm not super familiar with this topic so I'm not gonna talk about the body of work, just talking about this specific study.
@2luvkho @LiterallyCanada@gaymergir Research on any topic typically starts small and gets explored more over time. So, there's nothing wrong with publishing this study, it just needs to be understood as fairly limited and the authors write about the limitations in the article.
@2luvkho @LiterallyCanada@gaymergir The study isn't "wrong", it's just reporting survey results. But they should've gotten a bigger sample of non-hets imo. The person claiming they doubled straight women's numbers to create the lesbian numbers is 100% wrong. That didn't happen.
@2luvkho @LiterallyCanada@gaymergir An actual critique here is the sample of lesbians is smaller and their data seems to be more variable than the other three groups shown. The authors (appropriately) show this with the error bars on the graph. It's not misleading but it is a notable limitation.
I’m fucking sick of hearing about Bernie Sanders.
I’m sick of his supporters also hanging onto to some theoretical theory they have about him as well.
Fuck Bernie Sanders.
Sanders is why WE ARE STUCK WITH TRUMP.
