Let's take a hormone study on how mice react to smells and extrapolate that into speculation that the way children select their toys is because of biology rather than socialization. Because, of course, children always select their toys from the moment they're born. Nobody ever gives children toys in a way that is influenced by gender roles. Nobody ever contributes to a social narrative that says certain activities (and toys) belong only to one of two binary genders. Nope, even if any of that ever happened, it wouldn't matter. Because biotruths. (What? Social science can't be "real" science!) And besides, everyone knows that all boys act like boys and all girls act like girls, and "the two sexes" are neatly divided along the line of XX/XY with no other genetic overlap, so there's clearly not even any kind of problem there.
This is why evo psych has a bad reputation. |

| Evolutionary Psychology gets a bad reputation because people who are absolutely awful at reading scientific papers -and their often delicate terminology- interpret 'proof' (rather than experimental evidence supporting an hypothesis), as being agenda-based, then turn it into a journalistic endeavor to decry science's supposed efforts to excuse rape, greed, misogyny, domestic abuse, and all other range of crime and unfavourable social elements to somehow support sex and gender-centric philosophy and rhetoric. |

And here I thought evolutionary psychology had a bad reputation precisely because many of its more infamous offerings aren't science-based. |

Evolutionary psychology is for idiots like yourself child-killer. If you don't take calc1-3 and then differential equations, you don't deserve an opinion on the sciences for the love of God man. Suck it, suck my ing dick you good for nothing piece of . Just suck my ing dick and we'll never talk about it afterwards you . |
