You know, you could just suggest that Jezebel also do a Q&A with Martinez instead of insisting that they don't do one with Duchess.

"justicewarrior" seems to have MRA like leanings if you look through his/her/their comment history. one of the comments there tries to equate the rise of feminism with "women being over medicated". hey yo, justicewarrior, science 101 for you pal: correlation (which is tenuous at best here) does not imply causation.

Really, it should hire anybody with a science background, no matter what sex, as this shit is just sad.

This is a review article, not empirical research—and it's evo psych. So...take that with many grains of salt.As an aside, two coauthors and I are currently working on a piece that empirically assesses the use of the "catty" label in work settings, btw—which maybe when published will be cited here. haha

Oh Tracy, its not science if there's no testing of a hypothesis.

"Her work comes across as more opinion than review,” he said. “She cites no empirical data to back up her claims.”

No empirical data. Yeah, this isn't science. This someone creating a post-hoc explanation of a current "phenomenon". This is someone sharing their opinion while drunk at a party.

What a pile of nonsense. Bias will kill your results, people. This is why it's vastly important for all people to take critical thinking in school.

Tax breaks, social security, medicare and medical benefits, property rights, protection of shared assets, legal protection of any offspring. The legal stuff that marriage is REALLY about.

Legal and tax advantages, big party, and to be honest I just like the idea of a codified, witnessed commitment.

I agree. I also think blackface is much worse than this. I think the Trayvon Martin blackface costume is the worst I've seen (except maybe the KKK lynching Obama, but I think that's a different category because I think they may have been actual KKK members...)

We're all rooting for you. It really was the highlight of my morning when I saw your name in the author spot. Then I also realized I'm way too invested in the lives of strangers.

So much fun! So much hard work! I miss my GT peeps! Open thread coming up tonight. (BURT FANS YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. I HAVE BURT. SO MUCH GOOD BURT.)

You're killing it all day, Burt. I'm so stoked for you. Please tell me this means the Paula Deen cruise is on.

I mean, Jezebel doesn't say it's feminist either. So.

Wow, she's giving Nancy Reagan a run for her money in the "looking up adoringly" sweepstakes.

Is "I'm all sex positive and all, but..." the new "I'm not a racist, but..."? Cause if not, you just made it happen.

"Filthy conditions"

Jesus Christ, shut up.
