  • I'm saying that women would absolutely take that offer. More than you think. And that you are making up a falsehood in your own head that it must be men to make you feel better about the world even though you have no basis for it other than conspiracy and hopeful wishful thinking.

    • 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.

      • Ok all of that has no relation to the poll. And doesn't change the fact that women may and likely did vote yes. We only have the data we have. Stop trying to conspiracy that it's only men when clearly even the studies agree that women are also involved and can be offenders. There might be an audience bias but the poll results are the poll results.

        I'm just pushing back on the obvious conspiracy wishful thinking being presented as facts that seems to be all over the comment section. It's like saying every person that disagrees with you on here is secretly a cat who learned to type. Sure it might be true but likely isn't and impossible to prove for anyone without some data that isn't available.

        The unrelated facts about prevalence of pedophilia does nothing to change that. Just accept that you want an answer more than you want the truth.

        • 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.

          • What evidence do you have towards your claim that the people answering as women in this poll are doing so truthfully?

            The same that you are arguing none did.
            Edit: actually I have more cause I have the poll and a mother that raped me for free. People are simple and this said $10million

            I'm not even arguing they are all women but that it's also impossible to say it's majority men pretending. You are being conspiratorial to keep a belief system about the world. You just ignore all nuance to keep pushing against having to question or change yourself.

            • 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?
