That's an interesting thing to note. If the people more likely to approve of Tate and his message are the ones looking for easy money then that could indicate a degree of selection bias.
The existence and popularity of people like Tate and toxic dating strategy shit might be an indication of how Gen Z is handling misogyny. It's possible Gen Z hasn't been exposed to misogyny in such heavy doses as the rest of us. Seeing your peers undervalued and objectified could sort of be an inoculation. There also might be a perquisite strong belief in equality component.
For things like feminism, the battle is never over. Insidious ideals like misogyny needs to be constantly kept in check.
Your first link disagrees with the article you posted...
It sounds like the only change is you get women are more supportive of feminism than older women...
Looked at the pdf ...
For 16-29, it's 5%
So yeah, still not sure why you're using a string of different articles, but they don't agree with you main post bud...
Thank!
I saw the survey was just British respondents, but I didn't know that question was specifically about British culture...
Sorry, it's really hard to follow all the omissions and misrepresentations a survey went thru to get to the post you decided should be the main one.
But yeah, older people are going to remember what it was like 40 years ago and can see the good feminism has done.
A teenager would have know first hand knowledge how bad it was even a decade ago.
If you pay me to answer your poll, I'll answer it however you want me to.
Truthfully?
Of course not. Why would I care about telling the truth as long as I was getting paid?
You just said you'd answer it however they want you to. The way they want you to is truthfully.
LOL, this dude's been lucky enough to never read a strategically worded political poll apparently.
All polls are inherently biased in their wording. Almost no poll-makers are non-partisan, and the people most likely to complete polls are often the most biased.
Statistics baybeee! They'll tell you whatever you want if you structure your intake datum properly!
So why did women and men respond completely differently, if not because... they feel that way?
Reputable pollsters have an incentive to be as accurate as possible. It's naive to think that being able to accurately gauge public sentiment isn't a valuable commodity that various entities will pay a lot of money for.
Got eem
I think you know what I meant.
What you meant is being communicated clearly. Why you think it’s some sort of conspiracy against big feminism or some shit is the confusing part.
They just want you to answer the poll legitimately.
Then why are they paying people to respond?
So they respond.
If you don't pay people then you're only going to get people who are really enthusiastic about it to respond. If you actually compensate them for their time then people will take time out of their day to talk about something they probably don't care about.
Id say to make a group of people generally averse to participating in such polls, participate.
Why do people participate in any such polls? Because they think their opinion is important and want it heard, or because they get something. Market researchers usually give test groups their products for free or at a discount. Researchers pay people to participate in studies. Most humans don’t do things without motivation.
No, I don't. You said you'd do whatever they want if they paid you, then immediately said you wouldn't do it truthfully if they paid you to answer truthfully. It's nonsensical.
I’ll select the first option for everything. Give me my AppleBee’s coupon!!
So is it just the men who are lying 'to get paid', or are the women too?
I didn't say they were lying to get paid, I said if someone paid me, I would answer however they wanted me to answer. I speak for no one but myself.
Then why are boomers immune to the pollster's secret agenda?
I don't remember saying they had a secret agenda.
Correct. And even the bad answers are a source of information.
But they didn't tell you how they wanted you to answer, I guess...
