a 500lbs guy probably isn't gonna fall significantly faster than a 160lbs guy
whatever speed he may gain from mass he would probably lose from surface area
Holly stuff I was just about to post this, their stocks are falling faster than a 500lb man skydiving.
Heavier things don't fall faster. It's physics.
You know, being on said council doesn't just give her free reign. She still has to follow their standards. It's not like she'd been given admin on some CityRPG server.
Yeah she's just being consulted essentially
Let me stop you there. Her "political beliefs" are literally human rights violations, that's how bad they are. They're so bad they're beyond the ability to respect them. I don't care how much she's been harassed, she's not fit to be on ANY council.
And no, she has not got "legitimate" death threats. She's got a bunch of internet trolls with absolutely no credibility to back them up. She's not "qualified" in the first place.

Her beliefs are humans rights violations??? What do you mean? What beliefs specifically?
Death threats are death threats. Like it or not there is clearly huge backlash against her on the internet, and a lot of that goes past legitimate criticism or debate and into harassment.
Feminists use a specific definition for "loveism". One that represents institutionalized, structural loveism, not just prejudice. So she's saying men don't face structural loveism, which is for the most part true. I don't think any society on the planet is woman dominated.
That doesn't mean she tolerates prejudice against men. It's a semantic difference.
hmm, wonder why.......
well this council shouldn't exist
Nobody deserves death threats, even if you think their beliefs are bad.
Clearly twitter wants to make their website safer. Why shouldn't it exist?
being faced with harassment doesn't always mean you are able to deal with harassment
this person is known to be extremely irrational and stubborn especially when it comes to political stuff. when you have somebody like this who can and probably would disallow free speech, her being harassed for doing just that doesn't make her qualified for the job. especially since there shouldn't even be a job, this individual is a bad pick.
Can you cite some specific places where she is irrational/stubborn? Keep in mind that just because she has beliefs that you don't agree with, she can still be rational.
Twitter doesn't need to have free speech. It's a private website. In fact, by letting trolls and sperglords harass people freely, you create an environment where people are afraid to speak their mind, and thereby a less open platform for discussion.
As for her being capable for this job, I'm no expert on her work. But she's a very active internet personality for feminism, and that first hand experience with harassment allows her to make more informed decisions about the policy Twitter might come with.
