Because I'm watching my blood pressure (well, not really, but getting livid is bad for your health), and really can't be assed to write a formal takedown of the torrent of pseudo-science, I'll just tell you that Psychology Today has an article of bullshit ("politically incorrect truths", but I didn't want to give it a good google keyword). I'm sure

Wow. Gotta love the Ev-psych. Speaking of which, did you hear that our beloved alma-mater is getting an ev-psych prof next year? I want to buy popcorn and watch Reisberg (and probably others) get into it with this new person.

OH MY GOD. ME TOO. Let's crash intro psych lectures together!

Who's the ev-psych prof? And what position was jettisoned in favor of this??? AUGH.

I think I just broke my brain with anger :-(

But then I found this sentence, and I had hope: "The biological mechanism by which this occurs is not yet understood." Suddenly I realized that these genii don't really know anything, they're just trying to get rich by being scandalous.

I don't care if that's not true, it makes me feel better so I'm stickign to it.

Sexual harrassment is treating women as equals? Right. I'm going to go throw up now.

Eech. I read this earlier and spent a few minutes picking holes in their "logic" but then got bored and frustrated and stopped. It's like trying to reason with Anne Coulter.
