As Israel threatens to launch a military ground offensive in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, members of the international community — including Canada — are urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reconsider.
Devices containing private images can become a sexist weapon in this Middle Eastern country. When a phone breaks, the user can go years without fixing it, for fear of suffering blackmail...
I am addressing the journalist's claims (starting even in the subhead), which is pertinent. If sexists don't like it and are looking for excuses, that's their problem.
Extorting and profiting from private information is not sexist. Pretending that it is something that happens to women because they are women, that it doesn't happen to men, or that only men do it, is sexist.
It would be ideal, but this is not something that can be solved with votes and protests. If I were in their shoes, I certainly wouldn't be the brave one who would give his life to rebel against tyranny.
It's not their responsibility either, they just had the bad luck to be born there.
They didn't kick out that minority who ran racist businesses, they kicked out all the 288k people who reneged on their "duty" to go kill ukrainians and die for putin's aspirations.
Taro Aso, vice-president of ruling LDP, said Yoko Kamikawa ‘not that good looking’, got her name wrong, used ageist jibe and mixed up her place in history...
I want to highlight the "gender studies" professor who claimed that male politicians are not judged by their appearance. It is absurdly common to see them being mocked or flattered for it, even by the media; things that don't happen to women without ending up being a scandal like this.
How out of touch with reality can some people be? Ah, yup, "gender studies," the biggest disgrace in disgraceful sociology.
You could go on without doing it. I would like to use signal to signal, but there are literally zero people interested in my environment :-(
Using signal just me would be much better than using whatsapp directly, and would reduce the data collected.
If signal suddenly stopped being mostly a geek desert and people could still talk to all their contacts, don't you think they would be much more willing to move? The more people, the more people interested in migrating, and the less data for meta.
If the user base is signal's big draw, I'm afraid we're screwed with such a tiny one against those titans.
Signal users are far more likely to need to use whatsapp than the other way around, and migrating to signal is a huge loss with not very popular gains. I don't see how it could compete on a level playing field, but that's where the opportunity to eliminate signal's huge disadvantage comes in.
This is what I hate most about the privacy community, too fanatical and purist to allow extremely useful optional features that would allow them to reach more people.

They are against things like mandatory military service for men only, women-only universities, women's quotas, and other things that create a noticeable disadvantage in their daily lives, in one of the most ultra-capitalist societies in the world.
You know, against things that are effective gender discrimination and that feminism advocates. But yeah, their reaction and rise can only be explained by them being terrible men, no doubt.
The study may help settle a long-standing debate about the existence of reliable sex differences in the brain.
How many studies on these lines must appear before this "debate" is overcome? It is even a truism! That we are a tabula rasa without sexual dimorphism is as absurd as biological determinism.
I appreciate that earnest made a post yesterday, or maybe it was the day before, saying that he is not dead and hasn't given up on kbin. It's not on this magazine, so I'm not sure where it was since this seems to be the most appropriate one, but in any case....
