Why your swipes on Hinge and OKCupid might be racist
Why your swipes on Hinge and OKCupid might be racist
- Authors of "The Dating Divide," find that black women face the most racial and sexual discrimination on dating apps.
"In a new book, “The Dating Divide: Race and Desire in the Era of Online Romance,” sociologists Jennifer Lundquist, Celeste Vaughan Curington and Ken Hou-Lin show how online dating sites exacerbate racial divisions.
They found that race-related “preference” filters on digital dating platforms help foster racist attitudes — especially toward black women.
“Filtering out people based on race is a normal practice on dating apps,” Lundquist told The Post.
“The idea of having racial preferences is unacceptable and illegal in any other arena,” she added. “But it’s literally built into the structure of these dating apps.”...Read all.

"Researcher analyses fatphobia through her experience.
“Nina Navajas Pertegás, assistant professor and researcher at the UV Department of Social Work and Social Services, has carried out a study on the consequences of fatphobia and the cultural imposition of thinness through her own experience, with a body itinerary that ranges from her childhood to adulthood.
This scientific methodology, called autoethnography, has helped the researcher to conclude that the stigma of being fat generates a substantial renunciation of physical and psychological well-being to favor the normative body ideal, in which those people whose body is not normative are marginalized.”
“Scientific methodology.” Basically, a middle-school diary.--Posted by

- Liberals Refuse to Believe Fake Ted Cruz Tweet on Climate Change That Went Viral Is Actually Fake
"Ted Cruz has been criticized by the media for vacationing in Cancún, Mexico, while Texas was experiencing severe winter weather that caused millions to endure power outages.

Nevertheless, Cruz is being targeted.

You’ve probably seen it.
The tweet, allegedly made in September 2016, shows Cruz saying, “I’ll believe in climate change when Texas freezes over.”
Fauci Plays Reverse Card On Vaccines And Spread - Victory Girls Blog
Fauci Plays Reverse Card On Vaccines And Spread - Victory Girls Blog
"If we had to stop the presses and write a post every single time that Dr. Anthony Fauci changed his position on SCIENCE!, it would be almost the only thing we would have time to cover.
So, here we are again. Fauci has changed his message yet again on vaccination, virus spread, and asymptomatic transmission...
To do a quick recap…
- On masks: Dr. Fauci said publicly in March 2020 that the average person should not wear a mask. Then he admitted that he lied to the public in order to make sure that front-line workers had the PPE and masks that they needed. Then he said that two masks would be even better.
- On schools: Oh my word, I could spend all day on Fauci’s “evolving” positions here that went all the way from “close schools immediately” to “close the bars, open schools” to “schools can only open if the Biden stimulus bill passes.”
- And now, to vaccines. You see, Fauci does want everyone to be vaccinated. That part of his message is consistent, at least. The problem with his vaccine messaging has been his constant flip-flopping as to what will happen AFTER people are vaccinated...it gets worse, read all.

Our ruling: True

Some New York Republicans are calling for the impeachment of Gov. Andrew Cuomo following his administration's controversial handling of data regarding coronavirus deaths in nursing homes.
FACT CHECK: 'There is No Man-Made Climate Change' 'IT IS THE SUN THAT CAUSES ALL CLIMATE CHANGE'
- FACT CHECK: 'There is No Man-Made Climate Change'---'IT IS THE SUN THAT CAUSES ALL CLIMATE CHANGE'
I accomplish this by accurately forecasting advance climate and weather - something those who push the myth of 'man-made climate change' are unable to do.
I also do this by developing strict proof and rebuttals based on the best-practices from communication protocols; which is an important step toward countering man-made climate change misinformation and propaganda.
Facebook and any social media sites are welcome to enter the debate/discussion with me on climate change, as this expert forecaster is well-armed with the facts and always ready to prove that it is not humanity that is responsible for climate change.
Only the Sun can cause climate change and I have long had the facts to prove it too.
It is my contention that those who spread damaging falsehoods on climate change - on how the Earth's climate functions here in the real world - endangers the level of international cooperation required to prevent catastrophes by being unprepared for the Sun's Grand Minimum and its effects on the Earth's atmosphere and entire climate...Much here, read all!
