What do you mean by this?
What Res Ipsa and the Red Pill culture are saying. Watch the video.
I don't believe in the 20x80 theory, but there may be some truth to it.
Good night! I really have to go to bed now.
DT, you have badly misconstrued what I said. You made a claim about the cause of a difference in percentages between men and women. I created a hypothetical example to illustrate that that the data wasn’t sufficient to support your conclusion. I used an extreme hypothetical so that it was easy to see the alternative explanation.
I never claimed that my hypothetical was actually happening. I said that you were making claims that were not supported by the data you were citing. You then went off on a tangent about “red pill culture.” I ignored it, because it was irrelevant. My point was clearly “I don’t know the cause of the numerical difference and neither do you” — not “I agree with red pill culture.”
It’s the same problem over and over — cherry picking part of something someone says and ignoring the context that contradicts the interpretation you want to place on the words.
In my opinion, you’ve developed some pretty bigoted attitudes toward Mexicans and Mexican Americans based on experiences you had dating a young Mexican woman. It appears to me that you are trying to justify the bigotry by using extremely motivated reasoning to justify your bigotry. As they say, that dog won’t hunt.
Whatever happened had more to do with the individual characteristics of the two of you than simplistic descriptions of large groups. You’d be much better off focusing on how your own beliefs and conduct in the relationship you had than scouring scientific literature for an explanation that lets you of the hook for your part of the interaction. I’d suggest you start with the reasons why you sought out and pursued a relationship with this young woman in the first place. And I’d do it in therapy, not on a message board.
