Different time scales on nearly all the charts
no definition for what is conservative vs what is liberal
Divergence has occurred within the past 10 yesrs
Date range is floating for 18 to 29 year olds
no data for equality
no data for relative power
no data for consequence
The data just…doesn’t support this premise, so probably not.
our parents felt the same thing
Your dad simultaneously saw you as the baby who slept securely in his arms, the child he saw through junior school, the teen who he tried to help steer past his own mistakes and the adult he wistfully spoke of with pride
Imagine how good he must feel to know that you remember him this way.
Story time.
During a conversation amongst friends the topic of male on female violence came up. there was recently a stabbing attack in Australia where a schizophrenic man stabbed and killed multiple women in a Sydney shopping centre.
A female friend raised the statistic that 26 women had been killed in the first 114 days of 2024. She made a point of saying Every 4.38 days a woman is violently killed
I asked - because I didn’t know - Is that like heaps more than last year?how many people would normally die in the same period?
She said "that’s a pretty misogynistic thing to say”
So I googled it and I can’t even find the homicide rate in Australia for 2024.
I am really fucking irritated about this. I assume she had assumed from my question that I was waving off the importance of gender in gendered violence but how that translates into misogyny is beyond me
??? So many holes in the way this data is presented
