The Stanford prison experiment tapes were so stupid when I watched them in AP psych and so stupid when I watch this film about them. Literally they could’ve all sat and played cards and got $15 a day to tell ghost stories all day and be best friends. But masculinity and whiteness and power created this violent irrationality that positioned young ass men to be met with brutality and trauma and disrespect even when it was obviously taken too far. and it makes no sense. If someone put me in a room with Black girls and said I would get paid $90 a day (that’s the equivalent apparently) to be a prison guard, do you know how fast I’d be sitting with them and learning about them and exchanging Instagrams and like.. sleeping.. like what the fuck was the point of any of that…

My psych teacher introduced us to this study and literally before she showed us was like “don’t ever confuse a study based on one type of person (white men/boys) to be an example of an Everyman situation. There is strong evidence that if this was recreated with diversity, or even just with girls, that the results would have been drastically different. This is an example of bias and sexism in the medical research community.”

“Other, more subtle factors also shaped the experiment. It’s often said that the study participants were ordinary guys—and they were, indeed, determined to be “normal” and healthy by a battery of tests. But they were also a self-selected group who responded to a newspaper advertisement seeking volunteers for “a psychological study of prison life.” In a 2007 study, the psychologists Thomas Carnahan and Sam McFarland asked whether that wording itself may have stacked the odds. They recreated the original ad, and then ran a separate ad omitting the phrase “prison life.” They found that the people who responded to the two ads scored differently on a set of psychological tests. Those who thought that they would be participating in a prison study had significantly higher levels of aggressiveness, authoritarianism, Machiavellianism, narcissism, and social dominance, and they scored lower on measures of empathy and altruism.”

http://www.newyorker.com/science/maria-konnikova/the-real-lesson-of-the-stanford-prison-experiment

The thing about this study is that whether or not it’s generalizable to the public is debatable at best.

But it’s certainly generalizable to the population of people who tend to be drawn to prison system and law enforcement jobs because that’s exactly the demographics that tend to show up in those positions.

The other thing to bear in mind is that zimbardo played the role of a guard during the study, and when nothing interesting happened at the very beginning, he began making suggestions to other guards about how to treat the prisoners, based on an interview he conducted in which he asked a former prisoner who had been brutalised about his experiences.

Let’s play a guessing game.

Picture a woman in pop culture.
- Largely well known and respected in her field of work by professionals and fans alike.
- Has a very recognizable voice.
- Married. He also works in the same field. His reputation is enough to rival her own, maybe even more successful than she is.
- Once suspected her husband of committing adultery. Sometimes seen as unsupportive, even by fans. His bum ass definitely doesn’t deserve her.
- Three children. The oldest is a daughter named after a color (protect her).

This reminds me of the time a reporter went out to a tea party rally and interviewed people as they were leaving.

All of these people were for cutting every government entitlement possible. When asked, a large portion of the people interviewed were on some kind of entitlement program (Medicaid, veterans benefits, OAS).

The vast majority of these people didn’t believe this money was a handout and had no problem receiving it. They were however against others (that don’t look like them) getting it.

A white woman in San Francisco calls the police on an 8 year old black girl selling water bottles outside her apartment building. She does this because the girl has ‘no permit’.

“Now known virally as #PermitPatty, Ettel has two master’s degrees, one in urban planning, owns a medical marijuana business, was an equity trader and was a Brookings Institution researcher.”

Could this be more stereotypical? She owns a business that was legitimized only in the past couple of years to the exclusion of every Black person rotting away in prison who made money the same way. I could scream.

Her name is Alison Ettel and I bet she wouldn’t call the police on a little white girl selling lemonade outside on a hot day, but a little black girl selling water bottles?That’s considered inexcusable?

Ridiculous.

She’s a racist adult woman who called the cops on an 8 year old little girl for selling water (much like selling lemonade) on a sweltering hot summers day.

“Please dont make me sound horrible”… no need for Huffington Post to make you sound horrible, Alison. You secured that title the minute you demonized an 8 year old black child and CALLED THE POLICE on an EIGHT YEAR OLD CHILD.

if you’ve been reading my posts lately, you will know that as of Monday, my maternal grandmother who will be 64 on the 30th has been hospitalized for heart failure (she has a pacemaker) and lung issues and as of today, she’s been released into our (me and my mother’s) care. as of yesterday, Wednesday, while i was in the hospital with my grandmother, i learned that my paternal great grandmother passed away of stomach cancer at the age of 84.

i’ve made the decision to take time off of work for the next 2 weeks to care for my grandmother who will be staying with us and help make funeral preparations for my great grandmother with my dad’s family.

i would really appreciate any help as far making a portion of rent ($700) that i will not be able to contribute to since i will be looking after her. it was really hard for me to make this decision but we’re literally all we have and i already didn’t get to say goodbye to my great grandmother and it would destroy me if something happened to my grandmother bc i chose work over her health and comfort.

i know i won’t recieve probably a quarter of what im asking for but this is important to me and my family so ill make do with whatever im gifted with, inshallah ❤️ 🧘🏽‍♀️

i got a lot of reblogs which im very fortunate for but not a lot of donations (to those who have thank you so much for helping!) and if even half of my followers donated 50¢ id make my goal twice over.

Because compassion comes back to you three fold

i wish more people understood that when you look at a law against gay sex that targets gay men and not lesbians, your conclusion actually shouldn’t be that lesbians didn’t/don’t face violent consequences for existing in those circumstances lol

like i think there’s a fundamental breakdown here where lesbians and bi women talk about how men and straight people just don’t acknowledge the legitimacy of womanxwoman sexuality, and gay and bi men hear this as “gay women don’t face consequences for their sexualities” but what they should hear is that in fact, any affirmation of our sexual identities is punished and trampled over precisely because we’re not afforded the agency to exist in this way. too many gay and bi men think we deal with homophobia lite, and too many straight women think we deal with womanhood lite, when in fact those issues coexisting is painful and shitty and we could use a little compassion every now and then.

^^^^ this is so important. Also when talking about facing violence for being gay— the violence lesbians and bi women faced historically (and today) is often minimized, forgotten, or not acknowledged as violent homophobia because it most often takes place within the context of an abusive relationship instead of in the context of being assaulted on the street. Lesbians and bi women have faced violence for their sexualities just as men have, it just hasn’t been seen as important significant violence because violence against women is never seen as ‘real’ violence the way violence against men is

anti-sodomy laws didn’t exclusively target men. there are no laws that target gay men and not lesbians because trans lesbians are considered gay men by these laws. it is true to an extent to say that the lives of men are regulated by the state while the lives of women are regulated by the family but this analysis is inadequate as soon as we consider the ways that trans women are considered both within and outside of both of these categories.
and the targeting of trans women was not an accident of these laws. trans women were the target. these laws were about trans women. homophobia has always been about trans women. fear of gay men has always been fear that they might not be men at all. your analysis is shit if you dont acknowledge that.
i have seen it said that sex between cis women was never legislated against because to do so would be to acknowledge that it could happen, that women who loved women existed. i dont know if that’s true. i dont know if you believe that’s true. but my point is this - they found a way to legislate against us without acknowledging that we existed. and you’re still falling for it.
this post is exactly what trans women are talking about when we say that cis lesbian tumblr’s inclusiveness of us is totally shallow. you are not actually thinking about us. we do not figure into your world view. the irony of @closet-keys bringing up the way violence against lesbians and bi women is erased and forgotten, while this post erases decades of violence against trans women is not lost on me.
like it just amazes me that you can both specify being against transmisogyny in your bios while continuing to use “lesbian” and “women” in ways that so obviously exclusively refer to cis women. that you could so totally forget about us in a conversation about legislated violence in a political climate where these same kinds of laws are once again being drafted and passed, except now they’re naming us specifically. it’s unbelievable. what a shameful omission.
