I can't remember when I first read this simple sentence attributed to Margaret Atwood, but it haunts me always: "Men are afraid women will laugh at them, and women are afraid men will kill them."

This is the line that had me send this piece to KDO (italics are mine):

Catherine D’Ignazio believes that automating the research process wouldn’t improve it. That approach only “makes sense if you’re operating with this total Western-science, get-the-numbers theory of change,” D’Ignazio said. “That’s not the theory of change that the activists are working with.” They’re interested in how change comes from asking questions and making connections, identifying patterns and imagining scenarios that could save lives. They want data to reframe public narratives about women’s murders and fuel ground-up movements.
