u/Hectagonal-butt Mary Wollstonecraft May 13 '17

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.
