What are then victim hood stats by gender? While I would agree that homeless women would more often be victims of sexual violence, but sexual violence is not the only kind of violence. Do the stats really show that homeless men are safer?

Regarding your last comment, what do you mean by "greater degree of agency" and how do you measure it?

We don't live in Saudi Arabia. Women can make all the same choices men can.

Like what is stopping other women from doing what you did and how does that also not stop men?

It sounds like victim blaming because it is. In our society we tend towards believing people are not deserving of help if they are in bad situations due to their own choices.

I don't believe because I understand how hard it can be to make the right choices, and also because as far as I have seen that's true of almost everyone in a bad spot. That doesn't mean we shouldn't help them, because we should help everyone who suffers.

Neither.

I said "kind of", not "is". In principle this kind of argument can be done in an intellectually consistent way, with sources and statistics.

Instead you've followed a pattern I've seen time and time again.

An uncontentious fact (men are more visually aroused) followed by a unsupported train of thought that leads to a significantly speculative conclusion about the preferences/desires of a demographic that to some degree we find distasteful as a society.

If you evidence for your final claim I wouldn't have a problem, its just that this kind of discourse more often seems to pass bigotry off under the guise of just "speculation".

This pretty speculative and kind of sexist.

I mean you could kind of flip it around, only instead of men and porn it's women and dating apps.

That the likes of tinder makes the most attractive men far more accessible to women, so they are no longer interested in the average man.

And similarly tinder apps and the like have drastically reduced the costs of dating compared to the past. It's private, you only get hit on by men you like. You can safely reject them etc...

I think this is just as inflammatory.

Are men really choosing turning away from women because they are "lame" compared to porn? At least for me porn is for when I'm not in a relationship or my s.o is occupied.

If I had to reach for a cause I would say it's a mix of economics and modern entertainment/past times being far less a social experience.

I was in rural village recently and it was pretty clear to me that people are going to hook up less if they are spending their weekends on Facebook and Netflix then dancing around a fire.

I am in India and am surprised how big btc here. Ex: I know 50 year old people have no connection to the tech scene who have 1000 dollars in btc, yet have no idea how it works. They think it's digital gold that will give them free money.

It makes me kind if sad. If/when btc crashes it's people like this who are going to get hurt.

Unfortunately if you want timely support from cb you have to behave kind of unsavory.

Look up their higher level staff on LinkedIn, then email them. You can also do some creative Google searches to find their personal email and contact them there.

Contact them and they will transfer you to priority people who can actually do stuff.

My experience with coinbase was terrible. I bought roughly 10k of eth this past summer.

Eventuslly I was up 5000 I decided to sell 10k so I could let the rest freeride. When I went to sell coinbase told me they couldn't validate my identity and wouldn't let me sell.

Which is ridiculous. They had no problem taking 10k from me, but not the other way around?

At the very least they should have put some info somewhere telling me that before I bought any.

Nothing I did worked. It just kept telling me it couldn't validate and to try again in 24hr. I contacted support and eventually got a boiler plate email.

Eventually I opened a new account on another exchange, sent my eth there and sold it for btc which I sold for usd on localbtc.

Ended up a 2000 dollar loss because this whole process took like a week or so during which eth kept dropping.

My advice to anyone using cb would be to have a local wallet and working accounts on multiple exchanges. If I had done that I would have been okay.

However I still think that if my identity was no sufficiently validated to sell, they should have told me before I went to sell.
