But for real you shouldn’t be forming all of your opinions around scientific research, studies and evidence. We have used real science to justify committing genocide. We’ve used real science to justify performing surgery on babies and women (especially black women) without anaesthesia. We’ve used real science to justify killing the disabled. We’ve used real science to justify opposing abortions. We’ve used real science to justify harming trans people.
Science is not free from the biases and prejudices of society. In fact is a perfect tool to justify those exact biases and prejudices. Stop taking everything labelled as science as gospel.
Note how the outrage about Sarah Everard was all deemed legitimate in the beginning, when the conversation was all about women being able to go out late and men holding men accountable, etc. These discussions are relevant, but they don't change the status quo.
The second the discussion started to involve criticism of the police, as soon as it became clear that this was not just a concern of white liberals, then suddenly the police behaviour at the vigil was deemed totally appropriate and much of the media lost their appetite to talk about it.

Nothing quite like asking women to risk their safety further by giving the person they are fleeing the excuse that they were ‘resisting arrest’.
Fucking excellent work there from the brain trust at the Metropolitan police.
This film is everything I have ever wanted. It’s made me believe in myself and believe that I am strong. Captain Marvel is so important because it does just that, not just for me but for so many other girls who have been told or feel like they can’t do things that they bloody well can.
Never have I related to a female character so fucking much and she wasn’t sexualised???? in anyway whatsoever I’m living for it!!! And there was no love interest??? Perfection. The scene with the flashbacks where each time she was told she wasn’t good enough and then stood up????? Made me want to cry so bad.
Also, Carol Danvers is now my wife and I love her. That is all
Me: wow I love the pacifist themes of Doctor Who and how the Doctor tries their hardest to be kind and resolve conflict across time and space by talking about the root cause of problems and encouraging compromise
The Doctor: I gave you a chance and you were too stupid to take it, so now I’m gonna have to murder you and your entire species
also me:
