When the Revolution Came for Amy Cuddy

You haven't heard of it because the reporting and coverage is biased, not because it doesn't happen.

That's similar to the situation with sexual harassment, sexual assault, and domestic violence.

It's not that men aren't often the victims of these things (studies report that they are, at nearly the same rate as women[1, 2]). It's that men rarely report these things, and when they do, receive little sympathy, coverage, or justice.

Thanks. Amazing stats in the Slate article. And the Adam Orth example in particular has strong parallels with high-profile examples of attacks on women.

Given the level of heat these discussions arouse, I understand the comments re modding in the item earlier today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15507821

Online discussion certainly does inspire bad behavior. Hacker News is the only place I know of where people who disagree can still have civil discussions.
