Ok all of that has no relation to the poll. And doesn't change the fact that women may and likely did vote yes. We only have the data we have. Stop trying to conspiracy that it's only men when clearly even the studies agree that women are also involved and can be offenders. There might be an audience bias but the poll results are the poll results.
I'm just pushing back on the obvious conspiracy wishful thinking being presented as facts that seems to be all over the comment section. It's like saying every person that disagrees with you on here is secretly a cat who learned to type. Sure it might be true but likely isn't and impossible to prove for anyone without some data that isn't available.
The unrelated facts about prevalence of pedophilia does nothing to change that. Just accept that you want an answer more than you want the truth.
Yeah no. There's no "likely" at all. What evidence do you have towards your claim that the people answering as women in this poll are doing so truthfully? It would be reasonable if it were a study with actual scientific methodology, but it's literally a Twitter poll.
Since you find "women can be pedophiles" (obviously) as good enough evidence that these are all women answering the poll, I can also pull up countless examples of men, yes on Twitter, pretending to be groups which they're not a part of (women, lgbt, minorities) in order to push a narrative. After all, according to your own logic it doesn't matter what portion of people you can prove do it, if it happens at all then it's a likely scenario. People lie on the internet (surprise) and they lie on Twitter especially – it's a site infested with pedophilia and misogyny, it's in their interest to do such a thing.
There's no reason to assume that people answered truthfully here, while there is a motive for bad actors to intentionally vote untruthfully. The poll having answers in and of itself doesn't lend it any credibility considering the complete lack of actual verification of the responses' integrity. This isn't "data", not any that can be used to draw a meaningful conclusion about womens' views on child marriage.
"Truth" isn't something that comes from a poll on X. I don't know how you can even fathom to make such a claim.
The same that you are arguing none did.
Edit: actually I have more cause I have the poll and a mother that raped me for free. People are simple and this said $10million
I'm not even arguing they are all women but that it's also impossible to say it's majority men pretending. You are being conspiratorial to keep a belief system about the world. You just ignore all nuance to keep pushing against having to question or change yourself.
I'm ignoring the nuance you say? I literally gave you the entire context surrounding Twitter and gender's role in acceptance of child marriage. I provided the nuance for you. It's not exactly a conspiracy theory when there are tons of studies and evidence showing 1. Twitter polls are extremely easy to manipulate 2. Twitter polls involving controversial or fringe topics are often heavily brigaded/manipulated. Your position is completely unnuanced because it's just "the Twitter poll says it so it must be true", flying in the face of any and all context.
Just to be clear, you think that most people answer political or controversial/fringe Twitter polls honestly? And you think that Twitter doesn't have a rampant problem with bad actors & social manipulation by people with a narrative to push? Or do you think that just doesn't apply to this poll in particular for no specific reason?
I think you are jumping through hoops to come to the conclusion that no women voted yest in that poll. And that when pushed against that idea you would rather lash out than question your beliefs or adjust them. To the point that you are now making broad sweeping statements to try and appeal to yourself.
I didn't talk about the other topics and haven't said any thing arguing against them or validity. I do think people show who they are if given a chance. Peace out.
These aren't "broad sweeping statements". It's just the facts of the matter man. I don't have any interest in portraying women as pure and unable to have disgusting beliefs, or portraying men as inherently worse in some way. I'm just pointing out the most likely scenario based on the countless examples of the exact same thing happening on Twitter. It's not jumping through hoops to conclude that "yeah a lot of dudes tapped option C instead of option A/B". There's no reason for them not to.
