debigotizer: PERMUTATIONOFNINJAS IS SUCH A DISINGENUOUS WRITER HOLY SHIT I actually really wanted you to do an article on them because I find myself agreeing with approximately 50% of their posts, and the other 50% I only mildly disagree with, or feel a niggling discomfort about. But yes, all of their writing leaves me feeling like something is lacking, or leaves me confused, even the stuff I agree with. It would seem as if my gut is more feminist than my brain.

Yeah. One of my biggest issues with them is their use of citations. They post a lot of links at the bottom of their posts, but only sometimes in the body. When they do cite an idea in the text, they often link to large documents and fail to give page or paragraph numbers. For example, one of their posts claimed that women account for 40% of rapists and linked to a government study that was over 100 pages long. They have to know that most of their readers won’t bother to comb through all those pages, so I have trouble believing that their gross misrepresentation of the study’s findings was a simple error.

Or there’s the post I’m debigotizing, where they claim that women work fewer hours than men overall (five to six a week), and conclude that this should lead to a 12% discrepancy in pay. Because apparently, salaried employees don’t real.

It’s pretty infuriating, tbh.
