I've finally reached the point I can't tell the difference between a serious academic article and something from The Onion. Trying to take this seriously, I believe the authors of the study have discovered, quite shockingly it seems, that men tend to extrapolate experiences they have in one social context into another. Women are not mentioned at all in this regard. One assumes they are either immune or did not deserve equal attention from the researchers. That's about all I got. Plus there was some dragging in of current politics -- it can't be that these types of things have political overtones, can it? Heaven forfend! My sarcasm font is broken, so I'll just come out and say it: this is link and argument bait and accomplishes nothing whatsoever except to make people argue with each other about "hidden biases". One supposes that if these biases were truly hidden that arguing about them would be impossible, yet somehow it still occurs. Definitely not worth an upvote. ADD: I'll continue the rant a bit more. We have lot of a lot of good articles sliding off the new page -- hell, for what it's worth somebody submitted my latest blog article just a couple of hours ago on cool CSS tricks -- and the top stories on here now are along the lines of "I'm not your wife", "Mean things border agents did to me" and "Dear Horuku"? I love meta talk and pushing boundaries when it comes to thinking through problems in a unique way, and I even love a good thought-provoking slice-of-life or political story, but this stuff is just empty-headed garbage designed to waste time. </rant> I feel better now. :)
