Study: Everyone hates environmentalists and feminists

[MADem]

491. Push poll?

As I said earlier, I was told that agreeing with the STUDY (it was more than a poll) meant that I wanted women to "bow down." That's one degree of separation in the "the researchers are sexist" follies. This same poster is still following me around this thread, inserting herself into subthreads solely to engage in goading and baiting me repeatedly with "hoot" comments.

I looked up the CVs of the researchers. They're teachers and post-grads at two respected CA universities. One woman has a postgrad degree and is now working as an environmental activist (that's probably what sparked some of the work--the one male who worked on the study also had environmental interests and was a professor at Waterloo). It's earnest work--published work--by serious academics. It's not a push poll. That point has been lost in typical DU garbage flinging.

This forum, I guess, isn't the place for these kinds of conversations. It's either advocacy, outrage, and agreement, or a pile-on. Absolutely no nuance.

It's unfortunate.
