AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED. INFORMATION DOES NOT FIT STEREOTYPES. ABORT/RETRY/IGNORE?

I had a look at the Indy article as we were sorting out the recycling today and it's even worse than I thought. It says "Research has shown..." [insert number of words meme here] "...according to Luan (sic) Brizendine, the author of the study." Er, no it hasn't, there was no study, Louann Brizendine is a quack and you the journalist are a lazy sod.

(Whoops, red mist descended there for a moment. I really hate this sort of pop evolutionary psychology that pours truckloads of purely cultural stuff on you while chuckling knowingly and saying there is no point trying to resist it, it is Natural and all humans have been like that since the Dawn of Time.)
