science vs pseudoscience

science: scientific method, replicable (astronomy)
pseudo:pulled out of thin air (astrology/paranormal science, palm reading- femology)



correlational research
(3)
strength

no manipulation, use math to measure association
-size/strength of correlation
-direction of correlation
-correlation does not prove causation
can use for anything u can measure



lack of internal reliability

if actually measuring what you think you are



approaches to studying gender differences
(4) two vocab

almost always used as binary (should: continuum)
cant randomly assign gender/sex: cant do experiments
subject variable
social category


Its a very very very long list.

CATHY BRENNAN IS A FAKE GOTH??
April 27, 2016 Luxander PondCathy Brennan, facebook, facebook jail, fake goth, harassment, TERF

Alright, y’all. Just be aware that I’m super pissed off about this, but I’m gonna try not to rage too hard. CN for transphobia.

So, Cathy Brennan. She’s a Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist (TERF) who is notorious within the trans community for her website “Gender Identity Watch” and its affiliated Facebook pages. On the Facebook pages, there has been a history of outing and harassing trans women. Brennan also appears in meatspace, with one notable picture of her holding a paper cutout of a person with the crotch circled, and the text reading, “Sorry about your dick.”

She’s an awful person.

I’m told that on her Twitter, she has “goth” in her bio. From what I understand, at some point someone said she was a fake goth, most likely in response to Brennan’s stance that trans women are fake women.

This has taken off, with many many of my Facebook friends posting, simply, “Cathy Brennan is a fake goth.”

Before I go any further, let me just clarify that I don’t give a shit about whether Brennan is a real or fake goth. I was called a fake goth in middle/high school and it literally didn’t matter. It literally doesn’t matter whether Brennan is a goth.

However, almost all of the posts that went up saying she was a fake goth have been reported and taken down. (At least, the publicly viewable ones that have her name actually in the text.) These posts have been confirmed as violating community standards and removed.

Naturally, I wanted to poke the bear and see if I could post something and get it taken down. Here was the exact text of the post:

This is an experiment:

Cathy Brennan is a fake goth.
