    I’m ignoring the nuance you say? I literally gave you the entire context surrounding Twitter and gender’s role in acceptance of child marriage. I provided the nuance for you. It’s not exactly a conspiracy theory when there are tons of studies and evidence showing 1. Twitter polls are extremely easy to manipulate 2. Twitter polls involving controversial or fringe topics are often heavily brigaded/manipulated. Your position is completely unnuanced because it’s just “the Twitter poll says it so it must be true”, flying in the face of any and all context.

    Just to be clear, you think that most people answer political or controversial/fringe Twitter polls honestly? And you think that Twitter doesn’t have a rampant problem with bad actors & social manipulation by people with a narrative to push? Or do you think that just doesn’t apply to this poll in particular for no specific reason?

      I think you are jumping through hoops to come to the conclusion that no women voted yest in that poll. And that when pushed against that idea you would rather lash out than question your beliefs or adjust them. To the point that you are now making broad sweeping statements to try and appeal to yourself.

      I didn’t talk about the other topics and haven’t said any thing arguing against them or validity. I do think people show who they are if given a chance. Peace out.

        These aren’t “broad sweeping statements”. It’s just the facts of the matter man. I don’t have any interest in portraying women as pure and unable to have disgusting beliefs, or portraying men as inherently worse in some way. I’m just pointing out the most likely scenario based on the countless examples of the exact same thing happening on Twitter. It’s not jumping through hoops to conclude that “yeah a lot of dudes tapped option C instead of option A/B”. There’s no reason for them not to.
