The Fandom Hot 20 is back! Argh!

[tzikeh]

I have narrowed my voting choices for the FANDOM HOT 20 poll down to 24 hotties out of a list of hotties. But, at this point in the competition, you can only vote for 10 total!

Why call it Hot 20 when you can only vote for 10? FALSE ADVERTISING!

(Your political moment of the day - Fuck you, Psychology Today. Just fuck you. A good tweet on this:--RT @huny: I refuse to read even one more "article" that starts with "why are black women..." unless the rest is "so awesome."--And also, thanks, because what we need more of is a social perception of psychology as a bunch of white-male-centric navel-gazing bullshit, instead of something that is usefully and carefully researched and constantly invested in all people.)

Heh. The guy is an "evolutionary psychologist." Why am I starting to associate that phrase with "clueless man"? Oh, right, I remember now (http://fanlore.org/wiki/SurveyFail).

Nor can the race difference in intelligence (and the positive association between intelligence and physical attractiveness) account for the race difference in physical attractiveness among women.

OH MY FUCKING GOD. Can we send this guy back in time to the 1930s where he belongs? (I still don't know how anyone can call evolutionary psychology science.)

"the race difference in intelligence"

See icon. Not enough fail in the world...

I just...the entire article was such rambling unfounded nonsense and then at the end he was like, well, I don't know why so I'll just take a random guess since nothing I've said is actually based in anything. What the ever-loving fuck was that? And the race difference in intelligence? Are we serious sir? Are we really living in this world and trying to attribute this bullshit to genetics?

I thought it was going to be one more social science 'the cultural basis for people's perceptions and how it influences everything and creates this hierarchy into which people slot' article which would have been depressing enough, but this was so much worse and at the same time, so very laughable. Why would you just run with this particular unfounded premise, assert a series of troubling presumptions, but never actually attempt prove or show anything? I mean, at that point you're just mouthing off and I just can't figure out why.

I thought, oh this couldn't possibly be any sort of proper science, and then I read "evolutionary psychology" and now I know it's not.
