The social theory of social darwinism

There are no girls on the internet. Social media is a weird, wild world unto itself. Nowhere else can people curate their image to such a high degree. Whether you’re an aspiring influencer or just keeping up with friends and family, profiles rarely reflect reality. Followers of the @asuzagukayuki Twitter account found out as much when the young woman presented as the face of the page turned out to be a middle-aged man by the name of Zonguu. Using face-altering technology on FaceApp and retouching tools in Photoshop, the 50-year-old Japanese man portrayed himself as a ‘Kawaii’ biker chick. Believing that no one would want to follow an “uncle”, he continued the ruse to the tune of 17,000 followers. Over time, he even came to enjoy the “beautifying” process and increasing attention.

Social psychologist says 'subconscious' bias may be at work. The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has denied any suggestion of sexism in the driving test after data showed men were more likely to pass their test at the first attempt. Statistics released by the agency, which is in charge of testing drivers and motorcycle riders, showed that for each of the last 10 years, roughly half of men were passing their first driving test, compared with just over four in 10 women. Between the beginning of the 2008/9 financial year and the end of the 2017/18 financial year, the number of men passing their first test ranged from 48.7 percent to 51.3 percent, while the number of women achieving the same feat stayed between 41.8 percent and 44.4 percent.
