Feminististä tieteenkritiikkiä

So macho?

Research has suggested women prefer girly-looking fellas to the alpha-male variety. Surprise, surprise - another study that works in men's favour.

Kommentteja: That has to be the dumbest sub-heading I've ever seen. If women prefer 'girly-looking' men and this works in mens' favour, how would the opposite - women preferring alpha-males - work in women's favour?

WTF?

How could a study that says men being manly is unattractive somehow work in a mans favour? Eh?

As I'm neither the Leonardo DiCaprio or Russell Crowe type and look most days dreadfully unhealthy, what this study confirms is that I've no chance of pulling (experience has taught me that anyway). How does this work in my favour exactly, Zoe?

I tried really hard to understand Zoe's logic here. I tried reading the article. Then I tried reading it again. Then I tried reading it backwards. Then for fun I started in the middle, read the end, then went back to the beginning. At one point I thought I felt a glimmer of understanding as the logic floated back and fro through my consciousness and began to form itself into a coherent argument. But then my head exploded.
