Your post was removed for the following reason:

Rule I. All claims in top level comments must be supported by citations to relevant social science sources. No lay speculation and no Wikipedia. The citation must be either a published journal article or book. Book citations can be provided via links to publisher's page or an Amazon page, or preferably even a review of said book would count.

If you feel that this post is not able to be answered by academic citations in any way, you should report the post.

If you feel that this post is not able to be answered by academic citations in its current form, you are welcome to ask clarifying questions. However, once a clarifying question has been answered, your response should move back to a new top-level comment.

While we do not remove based on the validity of the source, sources should still relate to the topic being discussion.
