I’m suspicious of the idea that women respond favorably to those notices.

“You wouldn’t download a car…”
Women: Gee, officer, that’s a good point.

Riiiiiiight…

Yeah, proper cohort attribution seems to be a little lacking by this data analyst. I'd say gender bias has already occured before your specific sample point... bro

Lol piracy intentions :P

now we need a follow up study comparing gender differences between who gets caught more.

"You wouldn't download a house."

Fuck you, I would if I could.

They work on my mother, but she has the kind of faith in the system I honestly envy. It seems like a much more tranquil existence.

This is the same woman who thinks the Judge Rotenburg center must not be that bad, because otherwise it would have already been closed down. She just...can't imagine a regulatory failure that big actually happening.

Couldn't even finish reading the Wiki article

Ok, I had to stop reading at the shock collars for mentally disabled kids. That's some introduction paragraph.

According to the article, these were threatening messages (one about potential viruses, another about legal penalties). It fits gender stereotypes perfectly for women to seek to mitigate risks while seek someone to hold their beer.

So the result of the study is “it’s pretty easy to scare women into submission”? Sounds like a great use of their time and resources. 🤮
