I've complained to them before about their atrocious science reporting. It needs to stop f'real.

As someone who works in molecular neuroscience... Come the f*** on Jezebel, and get a real science writer. The rest of us are sick of this shit.
I actually think these people are great. Yes it is a bit weird and funny, but they had to do something unusual to get noticed and they are not harassing individual people. If you really believe in something you feel like you need to take a stand. Actually, if most people really gave it a lot of thought they would…
Caring about animals is so ridiculous!
I completely agree with her. Its so upsetting that feminism as a word as started to gain negative connotations. Its simple really.
You can't tell us his screen name, however he posts his shit on reddit?
I wonder what his ratio of online death threats to rape threats will be.
Maybe if a guy says it they'll pay attention. I'm so used to being ignored or mansplained why it's no big deal I've stopped trying to explain why I HATE it.
Yup. Or even a writer with basic reading comprehension. I'm not entirely clear how this:
Agreed. I'm not even a scientist of any description, and reading this made me frustrated. If you don't know a thing about the topic at hand, then your opinion doesn't really count for much. I don't even mean that in a nasty way, I'm just sick of bad science reporting.
I love Andrea Dworkin's work so I know & respect your views, but I must say: I worked as an escort for three years & had a good experience, I love porn, and I really, really get tired of people basically saying the moment I make a choice they don't understand or approve of, I *must* be brainwashed & no longer have…
Yeah, I'm a biology student, and I've had to spend a fair amount of time neck-deep in scientific papers and then translating them into English. This is... not a good job.
I am not a scientist or a science writer but I am right there with you.
I would argue that rape being "natural" (as in occuring in our nature and in other animals) doesn't mean the same as that it's ok (which is what many people seem to take from the statement that something is natural). I'm not an evo psychologist or even a psychologist so I'm not about to say I understand the field. But…
Yeah, well badly designed studies are badly designed studies. Like I rolled my eyes at this one due to A) self report and B)all the other confounds, like whether or not it was actually the male partner initiating. But shitty design isn't restricted to evo psych, or even psychology as a whole.
EXACTLY this. If you don't find asian men attractive, ok, but you HAVE GOT to realize that vocalizing it is tactless and possibly offensive and you should keep that shit to yourself.
Agreed, we can't force ourselves to be attracted to anyone. But I think that as individuals (and myself as a white male), it's imperative to be anti-racist in our daily lives. Even just checking a box can reinforce racist stigmas if it publicly announces to the world you aren't attracted to certain races. I think the…
Meant to post this in my first comment, but here's the lowdown on how familiarity breeds attraction:
I remember reading the comments on some article (on another site, but I can't remember which one, sigh) and there were a lot of men complaining that women discriminate against short men because they usually don't want to date men who are shorter than they are. I think that was one of the stupidest things I have ever…
I mean, hair color and race aren't really comparable, and a lot of the time, it's worth considering why things that we think are just preferences exist. Like me, for instance; I used to say things like "I'm just not attracted to black women," but when I sat down and thought about why I said that, I realized that I…
