If you like Dutton's book, you should give him a positive review on Amazon to counteract some of the ideological criticism that's lowered its rating.

Please note that I'm not encouraging an artificial inflation of the book. You should only give it 4-5 stars if 1) you've actually read it, and 2) you think that it merits those stars.

I liked the old days when we called a lie a lie.

for feminists to spread their messages, they need to maintain a presence in the universities. so, in order to create an image of seriousness, the "academic" feminists create their own technical terms and [conspiracy] theories in attempts to give their field some weight.

anyone who wants more information on this stuff can simply google "science wars," "scientism," "positivism," and "postmodernism." if the right-wing and anti-feminists alike want any results, they'll have to axe funding for many of the fields where objectivity is not a concern.

Woozle effect, also known as evidence by citation,[1] or a woozle, occurs when frequent citation of previous publications that lack evidence mislead individuals, groups and the public into thinking or believing there is evidence, and nonfacts become urban myths and factoids.[2] Woozle effect is a term coined by Beverly Houghton in 1979.[3][4][5] It describes a pattern of bias seen within social sciences and which is identified as leading to multiple errors in individual and public perception, academia, policy making and government. A woozle is also a claim made about research which is not supported by original findings.[6]

The rest of the article is well worth reading.

"Woozles are usually not a simply a matter of authentic misreporting. They also reveal a desire to read into the data an a priori position that is really not there, what Bacon calls "idols of the theatre". ... All the data reporting mistakes I have found in the literature, without exception, were made in the direction of supporting feminist preconceptions."

What an amazing coincidence.

Seriously what are the odds that all these honest mistakes would just happen to lean in the exact same direction?

Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a drug...

I can't see this quote at the source. Is it somewhere online?

Can't believe they're saying DV is the leading cause of death among young women. If I recall from it's actually unintentional injury, which include vehicle accidents, falls and accidental poisoning.

Indeed, the accidental poisoning figure is staggering. But we don't see mass campaigns to stop accidental poisoning, despite the fact you are considerably more likely to be a victim of poisoning yourself than deliberate homicide (partner or not).

mangina mra's still playing the game.

baby foreskin, and critiquing feminist studies. what would the world be like without MRAs saving lives?

none of this bullshit helps stop the feminazi gestapo.

the only way to win is to not play.
