[addendum added just before posting].....fuck, ya'll, what can I say. I was an inspired insomniac. I hope this makes sense.

In reply to the response my first essay received, I have decided to attempt a further deconstruction of the Fail Neuroscience of Drs. Ogas and Gaddam. In a different approach from my first post, I am going to take this one

OMG I love you!!! No, there is no way I could match the questions with the physical responses. *dies* I'm a human factors engineer (psychology and engineering. I knowz very leetle *g* about physiology of the brain besides from my physiological psychology courses including perception). I was talking about just working with the survey itself and showing what questions were of importance to Ogi and Sai and why.

It's rudimentary for a lot, but for many others they don't know how surveys work (even poor ones) and how to pinpoint what the researcher is after. The experimental design is pretty much a 2 x 2. Gender x Deviancy (yes or no). Testing it physiologically is another story. :) But even using the horrid study they have, they can analyze quite a bit. They mentioned 2000 respondents. Even taking 1000 out of the picture for filling it out in rebellious ways *g*, you still have 1000.

1. Heterosexual females who only read het masturbate significantly less than those who only read slash. *meep*

2. Heterosexual females who read het relate more to the submissive partner while slash relate more to the dominant partner.

If they use this data, life will not be kind to them.
