Just remember, folks, divide & conquer is the oldest trick in the book.
They want us fighting the culture wars so we don’t fight the class war.
Yep this is classic rage bait media.
The culture of misogyny vs the culture of "oh dear, we're failing our kids and need to do better"?
This is a stupid take.
This is a peer-reviewed well-designed study by an expert in their field. Not a Ben Shapiro video.
If it's a peer-reviewed study, would you mind linking the actual study? Because it doesn't seem to be published; i.e., hasn't been peer-reviewed yet.
If it's well-designed, then surely the survey questions will stand up to scrutiny, correct?
The OP didn’t link to a peer-reviewed well-designed study. They linked to a “news” article that purports to relay the information from the study, but no doubt presents much of it out of context and to an audience who lack the expertise to really understand it.
I was referring to men vs. women, or gays vs. straights, or residents vs. immigrants, or any one of the hundred other arbitrary divisions being constantly foisted onto us.
The study may well be measuring these divisions, or their effects, but that’s not my point at all.
The Conversation is a well known resource for highly-factual and unbiased wording and phrasing in their material.
Trying to frame them as a culture war peddler throwing "men vs. women" divisions to stoke flames is some bullshit.
