Evo-psych nonsense and Psychology Today

Roundup of critiques and mockery of the ridiculous Kanazawa/Psychology Today debacle:

The Satoshi Kanazawa Study  and How to Debunk Pseudoscience Articles about Race in Five Easy Steps at Racialicious

The Pseudoscience of "Black Women Are Less Attractive" at Colorlines

I'm personally sick to death of evo-psych rubbish, and I'm always taken aback by instances in which people actually spout this stuff and take it seriously. Someone on a friend's facebook the other day was literally trying to "prove" that the wage gap is due to women's incompetency due to differences in the amygdala. I also felt embarrassed to have gone to school with someone who had put up and was defending the tripe asserting that women as a whole actually like being submissive that came out a few weeks ago.

racism, beauty and body image, evolutionary psychology
