In my Big Kink Survey, I'm looking at young (19-26) people who picked the top 2 most liberal options (out of a 7-point political spectrum).
This group is 179,000 people.
Of this (young, liberal) group, did men report they were spanked more often in childhood than women?
The question as presented in the survey:
*question: From the ages of 0-14, how often were you spanked as a form of discipline?
*tip: Spanking means striking the buttocks, with a hand or an implement such as a shoe or belt
Never
Rarely
Sometimes
Often
Very regularly
(I selected which gender to ask about - like, vs 'women spanked more often than men' by flipping a coin)

@Aella Maybe I'm missing something, but is there a version of the graphs where you show spanking but control for social class (not politics)? It seems more plausible to me that the effect is from your survey's women happening to have lower social class than that the effect is from women remembering their childhoods differently.
hey no one actually linked the post. It's good!

@chrisjbillington Not sure if any regrets, tempted to say no.
The (proposed) mechanism is not what anyone here suggested, and as such the surprise could have gone either direction.
"Aella wouldn't have made this market if it wasn't surprising" remains the most compelling NO case in hindsight, but she also has done the exact opposite in another recent market - essentially posting it to defend a null hypothesis from those who would propose something else.
So probably no regrets. Interested if anyone thinks I should have any.
Edit: and enjoy my mana, NO betters! Well played.
@chrisjbillington I certainly regret not considering taking the insider information hypothesis more seriously.
It's a lesson I learn again and again.
@chrisjbillington I think the main regret you should have is not asking why the market was shifting away from its earlier consensus to begin with, especially when just given a demonstration of how powerful market correcting power was with the new account spam earlier. The fact that you were even able to build up such a big position at a "good" price I think is a red flag.
@DanMan314 I felt the temptation to not fully correct myself, so discounted others' behaviour based on that. I think that still seems the most likely explanation - that it was FUD and downward price pressure caused by traders who never had a view on this market trying to exit after the mana printing ended.
Nobody here (other than the alts but perhaps not even) made as much mana as someone with insider info should have been able to make.
Do we think the alts were trading on insider info? And they stopped, the price in the last few hours was not set by them. And I discounted their behaviour as inexplicable and not worth trying to explain - feel like trying to make sense of that chaos would more likely lead to confusing myself than anything else.
@Sodra Does the manifest live poll replicate the survey data? This is the important question.
@dittopoop Yeah, I've finally got all my ducks in a row. I've carefully positioned myself to feel like a moron regardless of the outcome. Let's do this thing
edit: Yep, I'm a moron.
