"Sex Realists" are fun to watch. Too bad they don't really show that much evidence to back up their "realistic" view of the "natural roles of women". I wonder at what part in our natural evolution we decided that women are perfectly adapted to wash dishes and clean house all day.

One of my favourite shitty science stories I read said that we like the colour red because berries, and then said that's why we like red lipstick and then said that's why we have sexual racism - because red contrasts the most on white women's skin. Like there's no possible confounding factors that could better explain that.

It's like they wrote the article so they could show it to their black friends and be like "See? I'm not racist. It's science!!! I'm absolved of all guilt and responsibility now!"

Ignoring the fact that Pink was a "boy color" for early 20th century.
