...and other "Inconvenient Truths." Well, not really, more like mildly interesting hypotheses arising from the key question facing psychology today: "Why do men like blonde women with blue eyes?"
whoa, pretty fascinating. especially the explanation for sexual harassment in the workplace "hostile environment" cases- how men are actually treating women the same way they treat men in competitive situations when they subject them to abusive, intimidating, degrading treatment.
Heh. More than a few chasmic "therefore"s and a hilarious "(The biological mechanism by which this occurs is not yet understood.)" in there, but entertaining all the same.
Bah--I agree with Feed. Way too many "a=b, b=c, therefore a=c, d, e, and f too" statements.
Also, the sexual harassment "study" (ie one guy's opinion) was obviously written by a man who has never experienced sexual intimidation. Reminds me of the time when my male friend told me I should feel flattered when I received (obscene) catcalls from guys on the street. Couldn't understand how I didn't see them as compliments.
Blood letting is still healthy, in certain cases. But this isn't modern science.
I knew it was crap when I read that bit about blond hair looking younger. My white hairs are starting to show in my almost black mane. Now that he's thirty, I'm sure Tim has quite a few white hairs, but I'll be danged if I can find them in his camouflage of blond.
Karl, you question modern medicine all the time. How well you followed your doctor's advice on your broken collar bone would be a case in point.........
I didn't read the article, but I take it I should remark in a condescendingly offended tone: "Wha?!??!" (question mark, exclamation, double question mark, exclamation, stop)
I think it's like flour vs corn tortillas.

Why do you hate science? Just wait until Al Gore puts a video out on this, then you will believe.
ReplyDeleteAlso, when has science been wrong? When you tell me blood-letting is no longer healthy, that is when I will begin to question modern medicine.
