Social media/female aggression/mobs

[Syne]

What am I supposedly generalizing when I acknowledge both the bullies and their victims, within the same class of people? Are you just so overwhelmingly apathetic to the victims that you don't even notice when someone points them out? Why do you hate innocent teen girls so much and defend their bullies? Are you just as catty and backstabbing as the mean girls? Kindred spirits, huh?

The only hatred and resentment here is your sad display of projection. Can you even admit that social media is problematic for teen girls? Or does even that simple fact cause too much cognitive dissonance?

Yeah...you're really concerned about all those girl victims. That's why you named the thread "female aggression" and cherry picked that one statement from the video that said girls are bullies on Facebook:

"Boys and girls are equally aggressive. But the boys' aggression is more physical; the girls' is more relational. ...Everyone has one [iPhone] in their pocket. What are boys going to do? They're going to play video games, and that doesn't hurt anybody. But the girls are going to use it to amplify the social interaction."

Despite some of the conflicting research, there are also tons of meta-analysis that show that males were more likely to be perpetrators, similar to what you’d see in the traditional face-to face environment. Some studies show that there are no clear differences between offenders, but almost all of them show that females are far more likely to be the victims of cyber-bullying. Males tend to use sexual content and send more pornographic images well into their adulthood.

In fact, just a few years ago, there was a scandal involving police officers. They were illegally forwarding nude images from seized phones that were unlawfully searched.

Without victims, there's no reason to discuss bullying on social media. You can't have one without the other. And if you talk about victims without ever addressing perpetrators, you're just virtue signalling, at best. I named the thread based on the major topics of the video.

SS, you'd need to cite a source on the meta-analysis if you want that claim taken seriously. It's rather trivial that females, who are more susceptible to social shame, are more likely to be victims.
There's already recourse and consequences for illegal activity.

They’re out there. Do your own homework. Oh, and I don’t have time to watch an interview.

Doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Won't support your own claims, huh?

No time for a less than 5 minute video, but you hypocritically post 2 hours ones and whine when people won't take your book suggestions.

Who said it doesn't happen? O_o

My grandmother (born about 1895) always advised female members of the family to carry a hat-pin. Makes a wound that needs hospital attention and is difficult to explain as "I fell on a hat-pin.". Unless you go completely berserk you are unlikely to be accused of a frenzied attack with a hat-pin.

There does seem to be a victim culture among females. Maybe also among males - I wouldn't know.
I assume the actresses wearing black dresses at some award ceremony had thought about the message they were sending. Lay a finger on me and in 20 years time you might see me on a stage wearing a black dress - how scary are black dresses? All carrying bolt cutters would have been the message I'd have gone for.
Granny would have asked
"Where was your hat-pin?".
"I didn't think I needed a hat-pin at work.".
"And now you know." says Granny.

Nobody needs social media. SS is probably the best one to suggest parting comment when signing off for (maybe) a year or two.

Yes, but it’s a riddle—a nietzschean riddle. You love riddles, don’t you, C2?

"And truly, I saw something the like of which I had never seen before. A young shepherd I saw; writhing, choking, twitching, his face distorted, with a thick black snake hanging from his mouth.

Had I ever seen so much nausea and pale dread in one face? Surely he must have fallen asleep? Then the snake crawled into his throat—where it bit down firmly.

My hand tore at the snake and tore—in vain! It could not tear the snake from his throat. Then it cried out of me, my dread, my hatred, my nausea, my pity, all my good and bad cried out of me with one shout.—

You bold ones around me! You searchers, researches and whoever among you ever shipped out with cunning sails onto unexplored seas! You riddle happy ones!

Now guess me this riddle that I saw back then, now interpret me this vision of the loneliest one!

For it was a vision and foreseeing: what did I see then as a parable? And who is it that must someday come?

Who is the shepherd into whose throat the snake crawled this way? Who is the human being into whose throat everything that is heaviest, blackest will crawl?"

Answer me this and I will give you a parting comment that is more wonderful than you could ever imagine.

Pass.
