possibly imaginary ahahaha you know what my response to that is even if the rules prevent me from explicitly stating it (hey, that's sorta related to this conversation!)
i dunno. i'd rather have the police investigating my posts than the secret service investigating my posts. either one seems like a pretty big deal, and even if if nothing else happens is definitely the first step towards it. does that happen to you regularly or something? the point is that if they decide they're worried about you that "i never said i wanted to kill him i said i wanted someone else to kill him" isn't that useful.

I mean, given to effect one of the supposed "threats" would require mind controlling a legislator, I think we can safely say it's noncredible. Threats should be investigated (and that fantasy about molten lead should probably lead to a mental health examination), and even specific fantasies that are credibly probative of possibly being an indicator of future violence.
But let's be clear: there's been no evidence of any threats.
I guess I'm a little jaded too. In my other internet persona (which I will not share), I get a few death threats - actual threats mind you - a month. Have for months.

Do you understand the difference between academic and behavioural assessments?
[EDIT] Because I have been exceedingly clear: teachers are letting a male student's behaviour influence assessments of their academic ability more so than they do with female students.

Why should the way a student behaves outside of an assessment affect the mark of that assessment?
It shouldn't.

It doesn't show that at all.
It may show that certain behaviours cause lower marks in some types of scoring (not the standardised tests) - but those types of behaviours are punished because of the behaviour, NOT because of gender.
I don't see why you keep saying that those behaviours are male, except to excuse badly behaved males.
According to Galloism, we have a situation where expected male behaviour is a negative pattern of behaviour, and where expected female behaviour is a positive pattern of behaviour. Male = Bad, Female = Good, savvy?
That is, if we have a male pupil we predict that their behaviour is bad. This is a misbehaving child... we are assuming that boys will behave worse and for some reason we are not thinking about this assumption at all. Sure, you might say "But it's based on facts". Yeah, so what? The expected gender of a politician, based on facts, is male.
Now, you're saying that what we've really got is there's a bad pattern behaviour and a good pattern of behaviour. And you're saying that the difference being noticed is due to this.
Now, for sake of argument, imagine that boys who meet the expectation get given 50. Girls who meet the expectation get given 60. That's cool. That's what you'd both agree on. However, the problem is that boys who don't meet the expectation and instead "conform" to the other pattern of behaviour (the positive one), get given 65. See:
What Galloism is doing (and if he disagrees with what I am saying he is doing, I am sure Galloism will correct me) is taking what we notice here (i.e. an interaction, if we want to be statistical, between the effects of gender and behaviour) and using that to conclude that there is a male behaviour.
Even if he isn't doing that, your interpretation of this is flawed.

Well, firstly, no-one starts talking about solutions. What everyone is interested in is dealing the claim. Now, you'll get lots of people who agree and disagree and they'll all come crawling out of the woodwork (we're assuming, for completeness, that our medium of conversation is online). And tempers will flare because you're often challenging pretty fundamental narratives that people care more about than establishing the correctness of. No-one trying to discuss the solutions, they're just trying to make their point of view known in a race to the bottom. It's like The Four Yorkshiremen sketch but horribly depressing.
The MRM really only exists because the woman-centric narrative left everyone else out.

Police overwhelmingly shoot men, rather than women. This gap is, in fact, more dramatic than the police shooting gap between blacks and whites; blacks are merely 2-3 times as likely to get shot by those figures, while men are over ten times as likely to get shot as women.
You want to talk about being gunned down in the streets by the government? It's a man problem much more than it's a black problem. How about slavery?
Do you know what the most common forms of modern-day forced labor are in the modern developed world? In the US?
Illegal: "Forced migrant laborer." That's mostly men (and mostly men from Latin America.)
Legal: Prison labor. That's mostly men (and disproportionately black men, but more disproportionately male than disproportionately black.)
These problems are racial and ethnic problems... but they are also men's problems.

with this:teachers are letting a male student's behaviour influence assessments of their academic ability
Congratulations, we now agree. I wanted you to shift the goalposts, you've done so and now present a qualified rather than absolute statement. On the other hand there's now this:Do you understand the difference between academic and behavioural assessments?
I understand that you want to work in a primary school environment. In my experience, when it comes to writing reports and interviews with teachers when you start talking about academic behaviour and want to qualify statements, you will be incorporating attitudes about learning into these. This is because you're not catering to an audience that wants nothing more than a raw measure of academic performance.
Sometimes, in this crazy mixed up world, an assessment can be both. That was and is my point, my only point... the specific context? Well, I made my comments in relation to where it initially arose. I don't give a crap about what you think about boys and behaviours, understand, that's not the conversation I tried to have with you (as I am pointing out for the umpteenth time since you've just not realised this).
I mean, Jesus Christ, from the part of my post just above the bit where I pointed out your absolutist statement...
Camicon wrote:... Lower marks are supposed indicate a lack of knowledge; however, this is not the case for male students. They are given lower marks because the teacher doesn't like how they behave, not because they lack knowledge of the material being assessed.

Forsher wrote:But, if you're dealing with something like a maths test which is really nothing more than a test of knowledge, then that's not a valid factor to take into account. This is probably more common, at least in secondary, than the earlier scenario where academic performance isn't just part of the assessment.
And as a teacher, if I am speaking to a student's parent, I am going to make a clear delineation between their academic grades and their behaviour, because an assessment of a student's performance in one should never influence the other. That is a terribly irresponsible way grade someone, because what I am currently doing does not change what I currently know. Behavioural and academic assessments must remain independent of each other so that teachers and parents can accurately and comprehensively understand where a student struggles and where they excel.

Yes and there are also areas of the world where 2 women only make up 1 man in the courtroom from the testimonies and therefore male supremacy exists.

You started with a faulty premise. Wit and humour get more donations to charity than just being a girl.

I expected the women to raise more.
But once I saw that they were being talked to more and bogged down in people trying to get to know them, it seemed obvious that would happen.
So I evaluated, men-women-mixed.
I was shocked the mixed got most. In terms of wit/humour, I THINK we're all roughly equal.
Best Guess Explanation:
Women get talked to more often because of pressure on men/women. Hinders raising.
Men get talked to less, and can raise more.
Mixed can appeal to both men/women donaters and raise more.
(Heternormativity assumed because, statistics.)

....You really need to hold a job in sales at some point. Or even just spend some time collecting for a charity for more than just a random evening. The reality is that men are just generally better at it, more likely to close a sale/donation. Now we can start to ascribe societal reasons to that but it's true. And the reason it's true is not due to the people they speak to, it's due to the sellers themselves.
