Welp, pack it up boys, all of our buddhist neighbours are Nazis

It didn’t have to be this way

Yeah, that money should be going to oil, automotive, and banking/finance oligopolies like the rest of the trillions are!

There’s Discord clients that uses Firefox instead of Chromium, fun fact. The one I know is Datcord

Floorp, Waterfox, Mercury, Librewolf, Tor (if that even counts)

The words themselves make sense but… not for lemmy.world lmao

The past participle of a verb is used as the passive participle (e.g. indicates the passive voice, where the patient of the verb is the subject and the agent is the indirect object). “She was killed” or “He was eaten” is in the passive voice, while “I died” or “I killed” is in the active voice. It’s normally supposed to be preceded by an auxiliary verb (in this case “be”), but news titles omit the copula among other things.

This is literally the passive voice

Active voice would be “Israeli strike kills two twins in Gaza as [their] father goes to register [their] birth” or something

How have scientists not figured out interstellar travel yet??? It’s really right in front of us!

What the hell is “woke”? Isn’t that just normal?

Are you just posting this under every comment? This isn’t even a fraction as bad as the Intel CPU issue. Something tells me you have Intel hardware…

AMD CPUs indeed have better efficiency when it comes to energy used, or so I always hear.

Capitalism: “Make as much as possible as fast as possible”

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.

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?

And doesn’t change the fact that women may and likely did vote yes.

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 best science we have on the matter suggests that a larger portion of men are pedophiles (expressing interest in sexual relations with children), and statistically most offending pedophiles are men. This random poll on Twitter, a site infested with pedophiles and men with disgusting views on women and women’s rights, where any random account can participate, is completely contradictory to the science on the matter. In my opinion, that’s a pretty reasonable indication of the results being skewed by bad actors. There is no actual way to ensure the integrity of the results, as literally anyone can vote and anyone can make a new account to vote (and there are a lot of Twitter bots).

Now, I could see the argument that “women on Twitter are significantly less representative of women than men on Twitter are representative of men”, but it’s hard to see that effect causing this stark of a difference.

Man what are you even talking about right now…? What exactly are you arguing against here? I don’t think we’re on the same page.

Considering that 95% of adults who marry children are men (according to the UN)… yeah nah man. Guys pretend to be women on the internet all the time. And conservatives on Twitter pretend to be groups which they aren’t all the time. There is absolutely 0 chance a higher portion of women answered “yes” to this than men considering the facts of child marriage. It’s not just about “pedophilia” but of patriarchal societies where women are treated more or less as sex objects, things which exist for men and who’s sole purpose is to have babies.

In a matriarchal society, you would perhaps see more amount of women doing this. These trends aren’t an inherent thing to being a man or a woman. But, due to thousands of years of patriarchal culture, girls are the primary victim of getting married off to adults, it’s just simply far more common.

Are you seriously trying to say that, because of this random online post on a predominantly male site (where most of the yes answers for “women” are likely men) that means that the predatory group isn’t overwhelmingly men when it comes to child marriages? Or am I just cataclysmically misunderstanding your comment about the stated gender of the responses of post in response to someone simply talking about girls getting informally married off to men?

The UNFPA & UNICEF report that 95% of adults who marry children are men, while 5% are women. Between 85% and 95% of marriages between a child and an adult involve an adult male marrying a girl. The UN claims that in the US in particular, 86% of married children are girls, a significant majority of whom are married to adult men. According to the UNFPA, globally 25-30% of women get married before age 18, while 3-5% of men get married before age 18; and while most girls who get married are married to adult men, most boys who get married are married to girls (who are also children). Additionally, 10% of women get married before age 15, while 0.3% of men get married before age 15. This is likely because 1. a majority of cultures are highly patriarchal and young girls are often “sold off” as sex objects for (usually wealthy) men and 2. females are highly likely to be able to reproduce before 15, while males are more likely to not be able to reproduce until mid-adolescence, so girls are married much younger (again, nearly always adult men) in order to have children, while boys are usually married to girls around their age because they can have children anyways.

It’s not like child marriage between boys and adult women doesn’t happen, but let’s not pretend that an overwhelming majority of adults marrying children aren’t men marrying girls. The same goes for these unofficial marriages.
