Sorry, I have no citation links, but it was blogged about a year or two ago and was based on some legit sounding study. Had to do with the level of testosterone also, if I'm remembering this correctly.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/ ... rone.shtmlSome scientists believe that the ratio of index finger length to ring finger length indicates how much testosterone we were exposed to in our mother's womb.
Higher testosterone exposure is thought to lead to a longer ring finger. This is determined as early as 14 weeks into a pregnancy.
On average, women's index and ring fingers are almost equal in length because they are exposed to less testosterone. In men, the ring finger tends to be longer because they have higher testosterone levels. In general, women exposed to more testosterone have more 'masculine hands' – ie longer ring fingers.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digit_ratioIt has been suggested by some scientists that the ratio of two digits in particular, the 2nd (index finger) and 4th (ring finger), is affected by exposure to androgens e.g. testosterone while in the uterus and that this 2D:4D ratio can be considered a crude measure for prenatal androgen exposure, with lower 2D:4D ratios pointing to higher androgen exposure. The 2D:4D ratio is calculated by dividing the length of the index finger of the right hand by the length of the ring finger. A longer index finger will result in a ratio higher than 1, while a longer ring finger will result in a ratio of less than 1.
The 2D:4D digit ratio is sexually dimorphic: while the second digit is typically shorter in both females and males, the difference between the lengths of the two digits is greater in males than females.
A number of studies have shown a correlation between the 2D:4D digit ratio and various physical and behavioral traits.

And I disagree with this characterization in the penultimate paragraph: "While it may be the case that women experience sexual assault, harassment, and rape in society-at-large". Women do experience those crimes in society-at-large, there is no need to qualify it with "may be the case" - and in fact I wouldn't be surprised if Marcotte or Benson quote mine that one. In discussing other crimes in the following paragraph you do not use the same formulation, you state it as a fact: "Armed robbery, murder, arson, forgery, computer theft, use of crack/cocaine, and consumption of child pornography occurs in society-at large."
As I said earlier, Weather Channel guys and one of our crews got caught by the tornadoes, hard, when the tornado 1) abruptly turned south (not normal behavior), and 2) got larger at the same time. We all watched Emilys crew get caught, live (see my "EMILY SUTTON DONT DIE!!!" status update on FB).bovarchist wrote:Anybody read Myers' latest dig at tornado chasers? I especially like how he tries to tell the guy in danger how annoying his reactions are. Add safeism to the list of privileged behaviors to check.
The problem with the way you phrase things is that you come across as being completely skeptical that "sexual assault, harassment, and rape" could possibly occur (at all!) unless you have solid credible evidence that it actually has. Whereas I think a more credible stance is that the rate at which such crimes occur in that setting likely are very much lower than in society at large, and that any claim that it is at a rate high enough to constitute "a problem" needs to be supported by evidence.justinvacula wrote:New piece concerning the assumption that because sexual assault, harassment, and rape exist in society-at-large these crimes also occur at atheist conferences -

"But it’s exactly for this reason that I don’t understand why you (plural) don’t leave Ophelia alone. So often in your comments you look like normal, reasonable people. And that’s why I don’t get this. What the hell is going on? Maybe you think the line I quoted is pretending on Ophelia’s part? (If so, I think you are wrong.) And if not, why do you do this to her? In general: what’s the point of concentrating on a particular, very narrow group of bloggers and have a whole site dedicated (to a large degree) to taunting them? What’s the point of making them feel hunted down, surrounded every day and every hour by a crowd of hostile paparazzis? "
There's several points to make here. First is, "very narrow group of bloggers". Well, I don't really see it as all that narrow. There's several blogs on FTB, there's skepchick, there's the A+ forums, and there's some people on Twitter/Facebook/etc. While it's true that FTB gets most of the focus, that's because it's the "largest". It's also worth pointing out that "slymepitters" also talk about other issues too (for example, many of us are critical of some things AVFM has to say). It's worth pointing out even more that sometimes, we actually agree with our "targets". Recently, I gave credit to several comments on B&W that called out "Kevin" for saying that abused people often become abusers themselves.
Anyway, let's talk about taunting and harassment. If somebody says something publicly, especially about me or one of my friends, I have a right to respond, and I'm going to exercise that right anywhere I'm able. Now, if the person I'm responding to is trying to make a point, and wants to engage detractors on it, awesome. I can be civil even if I strongly disagree. But if they don't want to engage, the gloves come off, and my response is going to be filled with snark. In most cases, it won't be mean-spirited, but it is going to be a little condescending, especially if the thing that was said is not just incorrect, but stupid.
A good example is when someone (I don't remember who) referred to Ophelia Benson as "Ophie"; she claimed that this constituted harassment. Well, no, it doesn't. If Ophie (see what I did there) did not have a history of deleting comments, I'd be fine going over there and simply explaining why I think she's wrong. But that's not the case - she filters comments very heavily on her blog, sometimes even the most civil ones that happen to disagree with her; and she also lets extremely UNcivil comments through if they agree.
So that's what makes me, and presumably many others, to go bare-fisted so often. As for her biggest complaint, the photoshops, those are 99% all in good fun. They're parody. They're satire. There's also some of "our own" - most notably, a few taking a jab at Steersman, and quite a few about Justin Vacula (and if you'll notice, they don't complain about them), including a very poorly done one the other day by yours truly, featuring Justin with devil horns, a pitchfork, an iPatriarchy laptop, a shirt that says "I HATE WOMEN", and a large white penis (of authority). And on the few rare occasions when they cross the line, we (mostly) object.
So, you're right; our comments do make us look like normal, reasonable people. We ARE normal, reasonable people. There's just a great many comments. Maybe Ophie does feel "hunted down", but (and this may sound mean) that's really too bad for her. We're not doing anything that the average reasonable person would reasonably be offended by. The criticism is copious, and the photoshops are playful. If she doesn't like public commentary on her writing, then she should stop writing public things, or at least allow that commentary to take place on her own blog, without censoring.

Been a while since I read those posts by Elam on jury nullification so I don’t recollect all of his arguments. However, I think you at least are conflating two separate aspects of the problem. While I’ll agree with you that there is some justification in thinking that rape trials are based on “unreasonable law†– highly circumstantial evidence as in false accusations for one, I think there is a significant common element with the supposed insistence that one should agree with feminists whether one agrees with their claims or not.curriejean wrote:<snip>some guy wrote:<snip>Steersman wrote: <snip>
This horseshit of "my country, sex, race, or party - right or wrong" could be the death of us all. And something that EllenBeth Wachs decried not too long ago ....
IMO, it is quite easy to charitable read Silverman's comment as including the unstated condition "if you do agree with them", because it seems clear (to me) that his aim was to encourage active visible public displays of agreement (as opposed to silently agreeing) so that the author gets positive (and visible) feedback.
Steersman wondered how "agree with feminists publicly whether you disagree or not" could be different from Elam's suggetion that "men on juries trying rape cases should automatically vote for acquital." I have this to offer: reason can't be equated with existing law, because laws can be unreasonable. Jury nullification, which is what Elam is proposing for some cases, is a valid but delicate strategy in combating unreasonable law; it's not similarly valid to combat a claim with unreason. So, Elam might be wrong, but it's not because jury nulllification is inherently wrong the way poor reasoning is wrong, it's because the laws he's fighting might actually be reasonable. And also, if you want to argue that jury nullification IS necessarily wrong, you'll still have to use reason to do that (whereas "you should agree with people's claims just to make them feel good" is not reasonable). Also, your "regardless of the evidence" is too simplistic, I think. "Regardless of the evidence against a person," isn't the same thing as, "Regardless of the evidence against a law."
This is worth reading to get to know Elam's stance (I've skimmed it for his arguments):

Among them were a mother and a baby found in a vehicle that was hit by the tornado as it passed over a major highway - Interstate 40 - near Oklahoma City. Dozens of lorries were also overturned.
Two other deaths occurred in Union City and one was in El Reno, west of Oklahoma City.
At least 75 people were injured, with five of them critically, hospital officials said.
