THE DANGERS OF FEMINISTS THEORIES OF DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Mary(Not real name) was a friend I met on Twitter. We had good conversations but disagreed on how Twitter court of public opinions handled rape issues. We agreed to meet and our first meeting was at her place.

 She brought up the issue of why I always sat on the fence and why I always wanted to hear from the other party because it means I support the “rapist” – RAPIST? I found it funny because how do you label someone a rapist just from an allegation?
You didn't hear from the accused & never want to hear the details of the allegation because you deem it insensitive. Mary explained that she was a victim and she is still traumatized and she asked if I knew just being a guy suffices to make her feel unsafe because she was alone?
That is why she normally prefers having her flatmate around or at least pretend her flatmate was around when she had a male visitor. I said her fears were valid because, stranger danger.
We ate lunch, gisted, played scrabble (which she cheated to win. Lool) and saw a movie.
When it was time to leave, I turned and asked her, do you know if you went on Twitter to say I raped you, nobody would ask question? They will believe because you are a woman. She nodded in the affirmative and said she knows.
However, Mary like some ladies here stopped talking to me or blocked me because we never could agree on criminal justice reform – seeking truth.

If You Hear Only One Side of The Story, You Have No Understanding At All
- Chinua Achebe.
For the purpose of this thread, I will focus of rape but understand it applies to every criminal allegation. On this app, you must be familiar with the speed with which feminists jump onto every matter involving a male and female especially when it involves rape allegation.
Support is good but not when intention is sinister. We have seen them disappear into thin air when the accused is found to be innocent. It shows the intention is not justice but to bring men down and ride on the wave of recognition that comes with being champions of women affair.
In the words of Kelvin Odanz, If you stay on Twitter long enough, you are likely to start believing that there is something inherently wrong with being a man.

It would surprise you that some of them took it upon themselves to make a rapist/rape apologist list....
.... based on your opinion being found offensive to them. Names went up till the names of the writer’s siblings and friends found their way into the list and they had to discard it to save face – destroy men unless it is family and friends. INTERESTING!
But justice is not about being in support of women or men. It is about seeking truth and acting accordingly.

Lets look at few of the questionable popular feminists ideologies on conflict resolution on this app.
BELIEVE WOMEN

When an allegation is made against a man, he is threatened. If he has a reputation to maintain, they go so far as to make him lose it. It is this moral turpitude that sent Uzu 6 feet below because morality police couldn't fathom he could be innocent.
“She has no reason to lie” and “why would a woman lie about rape?” are the two most foolish reasons for believing an allegation. To lie is human. People don’t need a reason to lie. Men lie, women lie, children lie but fact don’t.
This is why it is pertinent to find out the fact of the allegation by hearing from both parties and possible witnesses. You don’t stand with gender. You stand with truth.
A lady once said if you have sex with a guy believing it would lead to relationship & it doesn’t, it is Rape
Imagine if such a person calls you a rapist, people looking for international award/recognition and others with lived in trauma would jump on it to destroy you. But you know what?

We Can Condemn People For Being Assholes Without Accusing Them Of Actual Crimes. – Somi
I remember a lady say she always believed women till her son was falsely accused and her world almost crashed. Since then, she has been intentional about details of allegations and giving audience to both parties. Don’t let it get to your door step before you apply logic.
BELIEVE FIRST, ASK QUESTIONS LATER

To ask questions is to risk being called a rape apologist. Most blocks I got was because I chose to sit on the fence and ask that the accuser give us the full details because “He raped me” is not enough.
From the details, we can ascertain culpability as to whether it was rape, inchoate rape or sexual assault or an outright lie. If we are to believe every allegation at first instance, we are all doomed. "Believe women" is not justice. Fact, to believe first is to pervert justice.
Laws are not created for gender but to protect humans and to find justice for those wronged. That many women haven’t gotten justice is never a reason to believe an allegation and the evil of falsely accusing someone of rape is not that it makes it harder for women to get justice.
The evil is that you destroy an innocent person. A guilty verdict can strip someone of his constitutional liberties for life, so understand why the presumption of innocence is a must. You would want that courtesy extended to you - ask Kiki.
Asking questions is not meant as an indictment. We don’t want to live in a world where anyone goes down for an unproven allegation. It is not about protecting men or protecting women. You need the truth so you can rightly punish the wrong doer.

Accuser is not a proxy for Victim
BELIEVE VICTIMS

This is feminists and MeToo’s euphemistic way of saying believe women. How do you ascertain who the victim is when the fact is unknown and the accused has not be given an opportunity to defend himself?
Some people carry their trauma of years past into people’s issue and can’t wait to send the next accused guy to jail. If you are still pissed with your offender, sue him. The case at hand is not about you. There is no excuse for believing unverified claims.
Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. It is not an opinion, it is a fundamental human right. Remember that everyone is a victim in their own story and thus, the victim could either be the accuser or accuse based on the facts.
Lets step away from gender for a minute. Imagine your colleague walks up to your boss and claim you stole company funds and everyone believes and begin to vilify you, costing you the job and reputation. How would you feel?

Think on that!
The world is not divided between men and women. It is divided between good and evil & one must live with the ideology that injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. I’m sorry about your hurt but just because you were hurt 7 years ago doesn’t make the next accused person guilty.
In criminal litigation, the judge would rather free 99 guilty people than punish one innocent person. Nobody exists to suffer the consequences of your trauma. It is even unfair that when rape is being discussed and men are accused of not understanding the effect of rape.
Majority of these men were being forced to have penetrative sex by adult women before they clocked puberty. Never tell a soldier he does not know the cost of war!
Importantly, if you already hold a belief while claiming to wait to hear from the other party, it is just confirmation bias you are pulling. It is not justice you seek.

Hearing from the other party is compulsory no matter how sensitive or emotional the accusation is.
Anyone can write an emotional story and a convincing story is all you need. The justice system is unfair to everyone across all criminal matters. Allegations should not be dismissed. However, they must be proven. No one should be vilified when the truth has not been established.
There is no truth in the court room. It is just your version of what happened versus theirs. That is how the justice system works. It is not what is right and what is fair. It is who tells the most convincing story.
- Annalise Keating (HTGAWM)
This was further given credence to in the series, POWER when Angela stated that the jury don't care about truth. They just need a convincing story.

Twitter feminists jury don't care for truth. They just want victory for women no matter who is wrong.
It suffices that a man goes down. I have no words for men who back them to earn feminine validation. This question the whole motive of claiming to champion a cause and that is why I agree with Oloye when he stated that:
“When someone claims to be acting from the highest principles, for the good of others, there is no reason to assume that the person’s motives are genuine. Any change that doesn't start from the person but aimed at changing others can easily be resentment cloaked in piety”
- Oloye
Nobody feels hurt alone. We are all affected either in person or in our relationship with others. In attempting to bring men down, remember it is not just men but women’s sons, women’s siblings, women’s fathers, women’s friends. This applies to men trying to bring down women.
We are first humans before male and female. To fight for one gender rather than truth is to strike a spear through humanity because it would bounce back on us all. In seeking justice, please dead the performative gestures, self-flagellation and virtue signalling.
It is disingenuous, narcissistic and hollow. We can honestly discuss societal problems and find tangible solutions. We should be angry but like Chimamanda Adichie said, anger has a long history of bringing about positive changes.
Please channel your anger in bringing about true justice and positive changes. Thank You

Love, Peace and Spaghetti 🍷✌️

It is past due time we talk about microaggressions on interviews (a thread #MedTwitter #AcademicTwitter):

First, microaggressions are harmful! Despite their name, they signal “you don’t belong here” to marginalized groups.

Second, interview days are already nerve-wrecking.

One comment or experience has the ability to undermine an interview day. Applicants may not have the ability to report immediately and anonymously or may fear retribution for doing so. Interview day microaggressions put applicants in an awkward spot in addition to the harm.

They are also not rare experiences. As a Black woman, I have experienced them at multiple institutions and different levels. I’m sharing my stories as examples of what happens, but I have no doubt there are many others, even within your institution, that need to be responded to.

College: I had an in-person panel interview for a full-tuition scholarship. One POC on the panel repeatedly asked, “where are you from?” I was 17 and eager to please, but also knew I didn’t have to share that my ancestors were traumatized thru slavery. I got flustered and bombed.

Med school: A diversity website wrote, we need more physicians of color because they are more likely to serve in underserved communities. While true, the reason we need more representation in medicine is because minoritized groups have been kept out. PERIOD. I didn’t apply there.

What I learnt on the Twitter this week:

1. Doug Ford declares State of Emergency. Says he doesn't understand what people don't understand about the rules. Either stay home or go to Walmart to buy essential cream cheese.
2. Ford announces his French lessons are going tray bueno.

3. Kenney announces Alberta will begin procuring their own vaccine because they only have most of the Fed's supply left now.
4. O'Toole announces he just doesn't know how to quit Ezra.
5. Freak storm in Morden, MB; MAGA hat kicked up in the wind; lands on Candace Bergen's head.

6. Canadian Conservative politicians and staffers mourn the loss of Parler which they have never heard of.
7. Kenney signs giant cardboard guarantee saying coal will be mined from Rockies without loss of a single acre of protected land unless it's accidentally delisted and sold.

8. Ford defenestrates MPP Baber from caucus after Baber complains about lockdown. Ford says he's already busy enough locking down Phillips and Oosterhoff.
9. Ontario's Minister of LTCs adheres to lockdown rules and takes three-week vacation under her bed.
10. Où est la Fullerton?

11. Just when you thought Andrew Scheer couldn't defenestrate his reputation any further, Andrew Scheer fully defenestrates himself. Like, maaaddd defenestration going on here.
12. Moments before Parler shuts down, thousands of Canadians post "What does defenderthestation mean?"

A lot of people are trying to figure out what UCP means by putting this biblical quote out into the twitter verse at Christmas.

Many have piped up with commentary and criticized the mix of religion and politics. A convention long held in Canada.


The quote is often repeated at Christmas. “A child is born...” makes reference to the birth of Jesus. Makes sense.

But what does it mean?

Christians (and other religious observers with their religious texts) have made an art form out of interpreting what passages mean.

To those most radically devout (some might say zealously faithful), hidden divine meanings are gleaned from “correctly” reading the bible.

That’s what Dominionists believe. That god himself wrote the bible. Through inspiration of the actual authors, & only they can interpret.

And thus, the “inerrant“ bible serves as a strict road map to save ones soul.

Many devout Christians view the passage as a prophecy made centuries before the birth of Christ. A promise made by god through one of his prophets. Jews interpret the passage very differently.

The Anglican Priest is (obviously) correct about this being supersessionism, and a form of Anti-Semitism.

Troublesome as it is for a Canadian provincial govt to be tweeting out Anti-Semitic propaganda, that’s not the only meaning this passage has for Dominionist Christians.

If you use it right, Twitter is the most powerful platform in the world.

But Twitter does a horrible job of showing you its advanced features.

Here are 10 of them you probably know nothing about:

The most underutilized Twitter feature: advanced search.

It blows my mind how few people know this.

Want to find someone's best tweets?

In the search bar, type:

from:dickiebush min_faves:500

Replace the handle and the number of likes as you see fit.

Another good advanced search tip:

Want to see everyone's tweets on a particular topic?

In the search bar, type:

from:dickiebush "consistency"

Again, replace the handle and keyword as you see fit.

You can filter by popularity too:

from:dickiebush "consistency" min_faves:100

We all have those people we don't want following us, but don't want to block.

Here's a good hack:

Block them, then unblock them.

This will unfollow you, but they'll never know.

Get mentioned in a tweet that is receiving way too many replies, turning your notifications into a disaster?

I've been there.

A THREAD ON @SarangSood

Decoded his way of analysis/logics for everyone to easily understand.

Have covered:
1. Analysis of volatility, how to foresee/signs.
2. Workbook
3. When to sell options
4. Diff category of days
5. How movement of option prices tell us what will happen

1. Keeps following volatility super closely.

Makes 7-8 different strategies to give him a sense of what's going on.

Whichever gives highest profit he trades in.


2. Theta falls when market moves.
Falls where market is headed towards not on our original position.


3. If you're an options seller then sell only when volatility is dropping, there is a high probability of you making the right trade and getting profit as a result

He believes in a market operator, if market mover sells volatility Sarang Sir joins him.


4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega

Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.

You want to buy a house.

You take a loan from the bank.

The bank asks you, “what if you don’t pay back?”

You say, “take my home and sell it”.

(Thread)

That makes sense. The bank gives you a loan and in case you don’t pay, the bank will take over your house and sell it and recover its money.

That’s collateral.

Banks also lend money to big corporations. With them, banks don’t always have collateral.

So a loan where the bank has collateral is considered safer for the bank.

In the early 2000s, the banks in the USA were giving out loans to people for buying houses.

The economy had just recovered from the tech bubble in 2000 where many banks had given out loans to businesses that had shut down.

In that backdrop, the banks found giving home loans safer.

RANI GAIDINLIU:THE LESSER KNOWN FREEDOM FIGHTER

Rani Gaidinliu joined the freedom struggle at 13 &was sentenced to life imprisonment at 16."We r free people—the White should not rule over us.”Thus calling out to her Zeliangrong tribesmen was the voice of 13yr-old Rani Gaidinliu.


She joined the freedom struggle in the present-day Northeast India. Today, her struggle is lost in history as most of her countrymen wouldn’t even have heard her name. B'coz our history textbooks tell us that only Mahatma Gandhi &Pandit Nehru got India its Independence.


At 16 yrs of age, this valiant girl was sentenced to life imprisonment for leading a movement to drive out the colonial rulers from Manipur and Nagaland. Nevertheless, she was released in 1947 after India’s independence and was given the title ,"Rani of Nagas".


EARLY LIFE AND HERAKA MOVEMENT

Gaidinliu belonged to the Rongmei clan of the Zeliangrong tribe in the Tamenglong district of western Manipur. Born on January 26, 1915, she was fifth among eight children.


Her native village was Nungkao, which is present day Tamenglong distt. Brought up in a specially backward region,she couldn't receive any formal education. However,this didn't stop her from joining the freedom struggle. At the age of 10 she came under the influence of her cousin.

Cherthala Karthyayani Temple Prathishta was done by Vilwamangalam Swamy. Chertala Pooram is very famous. Devi is Mangalya Dayini here removes obstacles relating to marriages. Sthala Puranam says that, once 👇


Vilwamangalam Swamiyar was passing this area after Prathista of Padmananbhaswamy Temple, he felt Devi chaitanyam and recognized as Karthyayani Devi. But Devi seeing Vilwamangalam went inside the pond. Swamy searched for Devi continously for 6 days and on 7th day Vilwamangalam


got hold of Devi's hair. Thus only Devi's head is Prathishta here. Devotees do Kozhi parathal ( offering cock) here as an offering to Karthyayani Devi.
