Are you serious? Women are more manipulative than men, they're more emotional and they're better liars. It's not sexism, it's biology. Men are more likely to be physically violent or intimidating, whereas women tend to play with people's emotions and toy with them mentally.
You know what, you're right. Science is wrong and we all just need to accept that the patriarchy is brainwashing us. |
Playing very hard and fast with the term "science" there. At best it is very bad science, and the mistakes are transparent. If you start a scientific investigation with clear and present biases then they will influence the design of your investigation and of your results. Most prevalent is pointing out a psychological phenomenon, real or imagined, present in your culture, and then looking for a biological basis, without ever looking further afield (to unrelated cultures for example) to see if they are common there, or even examining the basis for the claim that is being investigated. Then they assemble a retroactive "just so" story that fits the assumed data. That kind of lazy thinking has ruined the field of evolutionary psychology to the point that is little more than the punchline to a joke. You know the one.
