Most studies in psychology are actually bullshit. There is indeed a massive so called "Replication Crisis" within psychology. Look it up. In 2015 a team of psychologists attempted to replicate psychology studies and found that over 60% did not replicate. I have master in Psychology and i can confirm. Usually, the "sexiest" the theory, the more likely it is to not replicate. Shit like "power posing", "ovulatory cycle shifts" and so forth give great knowledge to impress friends... and also great bullshit. So take most studies there with a grain of salt.
Most of these guys don't even understand basic statistics concepts. They always fail to analyze the statistics in the results section. Once you get to analyze the effect size or the percentage of variance that explains the behavior, you'd get a more complete picture of a study... and often get a much different view of the conclusions of the study than you'd get by merely reading the article. Most studies in psychology have small effect sizes of .20 and less (ex.: Most gender differences). So next time you'd read that women tend to score higher on emotionality or some shit, chances are that the average difference is small, yet merely giving it a superficial read would have think that the difference is actually that robust. These guys always fail to account that.
A lot of this shit is cherry picked, the first study i saw in there quotes authors i've seen posting opposite research to what they said.
Sometimes the studies in there are just outright intellectual dishonesty. There's a study there saying violent kids are prefered for hook ups. The way they worded it, they make it seem like girls prefer to hook up with violent kids over non-violent kids. In reality the studies adresses that girls prefer to hook up with violent kids over having stable relationship with them. It never said they go for violent kids over non-violent when it comes to hook up. They never compared the preferences between the two kids, in terms of who's most liked for either relationships or hook ups.
I find it really ironic, if not just plain stupid, that these guys are relying on studies that are 95% self-reported (like the overwhelming majority of psychology studies) when they are really so vocal about "WoMeen DunT Knaw wUT dey Want" and "Lo0k wut Dey doo, nawT WuT dey Seey"

All in all i think black pill science could have been a spectacular sub with curious scientific resources, instead is just a collective exercise of confirmation bias to justify their own self-loathing based on studies that are simply misinterpreted, on which most of them can't even analyze the statistics behind the studies, ignore contradictive evidence and just try to give them a scientific legitimacy front when it has no credibility.

It's not scientific.
