So We All Know By Now That Dean Canonically Makes Cas Watch Cowboy Movies With Him.

there is no "i love you in every universe" for destiel because there really was just one.

generalizations, feminism, criminology, and statistical fallacies (tw: mentions of violence, SA, abuse, misogyny)

every day I see people say that we can’t generalize by saying “men do *insert violent thing here*” but the issue is, you literally can. Most of it boils down to a lack of statistical literacy. You can certainly say that “men are more likely to commit homicide,” but that doesn’t mean you’re saying “every man is a murderer.” This is called an ecological fallacy, which is when you apply statistical conclusions that are generalizable to a population to a single individual. We know this because homicide is the most reported crime.

Likewise, I could say "higher testosterone is correlated with increased aggression." However, I could not conclude that "testosterone causes men to be violent," even though cis men on average produce more testosterone, because everyone produces testosterone, regardless of their sex. Additionally, we know there are other contributing factors when committing acts of violence like age, intellectual ability, and socioeconomic status. This is called a reductionist fallacy, which is when you attribute a multifactorial issue to a singular cause. (could also be a causal fallacy)

Finally, I could say that "I was abused by a woman," but that does not mean I could then say that "all women are abusers" because that is not backed by statistical evidence. This is a hasty generalization, which is when you apply individual experiences or a small sample to a broader population.

Men are more likely to be perpetrators and victims of every violent crime, except for SA (though there is a “dark figure” as it’s called in the field for SA statistics due to underreporting). Women are more likely to be SAd generally, and trans individuals are the most disproportionately likely to be s*xually ab*sed. I would cite more sources (linked below), but this is a consistent fact of crime in every single criminology class I've ever taken as a current forensic psychology graduate student. Most resources you look at will mention this in some way.

I truly hate when men say “we experience this too!” but like, yes, y’all do actually, and y’all do it to each other. When you break down the statistics, men are consistently more likely to harm other men than a woman is to harm them. No matter how you twist it, patriarchy is the root of the problem. There is evidence that this gender gap is decreasing in some countries, however.

Being in fandom spaces is so surreal-

Bc once your age hits a 'serious' number, you start to think - "damn, I should probably stop geeking and get more serious." But then you scroll and see a 34y/o woman writing fics after driving her kids to school, a 40y/o dude making fanart of his fav super heroes and you realize - "nah, I'm actually good"
