Jill Flip straight-up Victim Blaming the falsely accused dumbass, who didn't even wear a skirt.
Even if the *assault* allegations against Swalwell are false (and for the record I don't think they are), you've really gotta question the judgment of a married man having multiple affairs with 20-something staffers in a post-MeToo world. Just absolute dumbass, reckless behavior.

@JillFilipovic Genius, the fact of MeToo actually makes it less likely that the allegations are true. The allegations which - despite your Believe All Women endorsement - are almost absurdly dubious, based on the CNN article. Read it.

This article has it all drinking by women, attraction to male power, reinterpretation as rape, cheating on boyfriend, going along sexually until neglected, no hard evidence despite allegations of digital communication and ongoing MeToo/Title IX; elicited by an influencer, ...

@miriam_vollmer Ist es "selektive Generalisierung" zu konstatieren,dass "AuslĂ€nder" - per capita - einen höheren Anteil ausmachen? Ist es dementsprechend auch "selektiv generalisiernd" zu behaupten, MĂ€nner seien gewalttĂ€tiger als Frauen? Implikationen fĂŒr feministische Agitation?

Ist es selektive Generalisierung, nicht zu erwĂ€hnen, dass MĂ€nner unter BerĂŒcksichtigung ihrer grĂ¶ĂŸeren StĂ€rke weniger gewalttĂ€tig sind als Frauen es sind?

The fall of "When prophecies fail": Another social psychology classic turns out to be based on fabrications and lies. In 1954, Dorothy Martin predicted an apocalyptic flood and promised her followers rescue by flying saucers. In “When Prophecy Fails “ (1956), the now-canonical account of the event, Festinger, Riecken and Schachter claimed that the group doubled down on its beliefs and began recruiting—evidence, the authors argued, of a new psychological mechanism, cognitive dissonance. When Prophecy Fails is one of the most influential case studies in 20th-century social science. It shaped popular understandings of how belief survives disconfirmation, and became a touchstone for explaining the origins of religious movements... But the case was misrepresented. The cult did not persist, proselytize, or reinterpret its failure as a spiritual triumph. Its leader recanted, the group disbanded, and belief dissolved. Drawing on newly unsealed archival material, this article demonstrates that the book's central claims are false, and that the authors knew they were false. The documents reveal that the group actively proselytized well before the prophecy failed and quickly abandoned their beliefs afterward. They also expose serious ethical violations by the researchers. The newly unsealed Box 4 of papers contain transcripts, telephone logs, research notes, channeled messages, and internal communications among the researchers. Collectively, they reveal serious ethical breaches: fabrications, covert manipulation, and at least one instance of interference with a child welfare investigation. One coauthor, Henry Riecken, posed as a spiritual authority and later admitted he had “precipitated” the climactic events of the study. This article shows that the authors of When Prophecy Fails misled their readers—and that scholars in psychology, sociology, and religious studies have been building theories atop a collapsed foundation. The full scope and variety of the misrepresentations and misconduct of the researchers needed the unsealed archives of Festinger to emerge, the full story could not be written until now. Every major claim of the book is false, and the researchers’ notes leave no option but to conclude the misrepresentations were intentional.

To be fair, all the women are getting chocked during sex now, and somehow they are not all dead yet. So don't say choking ruins women's life.

What now, going to ban depictions of boxing, self- and other-deceiving survivor-saviour?
So glad that we’re introducing a ban on depictions of strangulation in online pornography. Almost 40% of young women report being strangled during sex. An act that can cause serious harm /death should not be ‘the norm’ & platforms shouldn’t profit from it theguardian.com/society/2025

Stunning and brave. Have you looked into how many bagels porn causes to fall face-side down onto the floor? Society has ignored porn's ills for too long. It even caused your book. What more does it take for people to wake up?
Here's why @robjessel16 & I think the killing of Charlie Kirk should be recognised as the first porn inspired assassination. Porn-fuelled subcultures of infantilised young men have been embraced by the left... 13 per cent of furries say they support Antifa thecritic.co.uk/issues/novem

#book *Beckwith, Greek Buddha* Light and thin on the philosophy (skepticism, Buddhism) it covers, not very imaginative, except possibly in asserting that Pyrrhonism/skepticism is actually an importation of Buddhism.

Maybe instead just yourself read Megasthenes' report of his wanderings in India (contained in Strabo) and compare it to the Aristocles bit on Pyrrho.

Along with the pondering of pillars, there's also a discussion of the extent to which Asoka is a mythical/confused monarch & the pillar-penning lord is actually Pirya, para -- Papyrus Piranha. Which I quickly grew tired off, helped by how scattered and interspersed stuff is here.
