Oh look, we're famous
Found this link on another forum that is listed as "source material"
SAGE Journals: Your gateway to world-class journal research
Under the title "Beyond 'pseudonymity': The sociotechncial structure of online military forums" the paper says it took information from lots of sources but basically spends 19 pages having a go at ARRSE for being sexist and mysogenistic....
Personally I'm amazed that someone gets paid to do this sort of thing

Supports the view that the Social Sciences are more of a joke today than they have ever been.
One leading academic recently claimed that fewer than 10% of social sciences papers are ever referenced by other academic texts. He also said that the quality of academic rigour (from research methodology to data analysis) is so poor that most SS papers would not even be graded were they submitted to other parts of academia.
Of course, he's not a raving Marxist or Post Modernist, so the response from academia is to call him alt-Right.

We together with another couple went to see 'Our boys', a play set in an Army hospital.
The other chap's wife remarked on the bad language and her husband, an ex artillery officer, and I pointed out that, in real life, it was much worse!
I know that I should not have bothered, but who writes this incoherent tripe?
In so doing, we raise critical questions about the nature of ‘anonymity’ and the complex tensions in and negotiations of private and public, visibility and invisibility that occur through it and the framing and monetising of particular online communities for economic and political purpose.

To be fair, any number of online Forums display a certain amount of Sexism, Chauvinism, or downright Mysogeny. Some worse than others. Prrune is certainly not squeaky clean in this respect (although it is better than most).
I would warrant that people posting such ****e would not dare to say it face to face with a female.

I now lecture at a university and recognise that these sort of papers are prevalent in disciplines trying hard to be "Academic". They try to create an exclusivity through the use of obscure jargon. Consequently, they produce reams of convoluted verbiage but little, if any, information of any worth. The fact the paper concentrates mainly on Arrse, or Navy Net, shows they were struggling hard to find any real evidence to support their hypothesis.

i used to contribute on ARRSE 'significantly', and to a lesser extent on Rum Ration. I abandoned both as I became tired of the gratuitous use of obscene language and sexism ... it seemed like a contest between the [mainly] yoof to see who could be the most offensive without actually getting banned.
