یک تحقیق سالها نادیده گرفته شده، تحریف شده، تحقیر شده، و مورد تخریب ایدئولوژیک مداوم قرار گرفته در تائید اینکه رسیدن به سکس برای کدام جنس آسان‌تر است و اثراتی که می‌تواند داشته باشد: RealClearScience - Would You Have Sex with a Total Stranger? An Inside Look at the Study That Found Out.

گوشه‌هایی از مقاله‌ی بالا که در واقع این تحقیق و تاریخچه‌ی پر ماجرای آنرا معرفی کرده:

IN THE MID-1970s, Florida State psychologist Russell Clark was giving a talk at a public forum on campus. In the ensuing question and answer session, he, in the words of his compatriot Elaine Hatfield, "dropped a bomb":

“A woman, good looking or not, doesn’t have to worry about timing in searching for a man. Arrive at any time. All she has to do is point an inviting finger at any man, whisper ‘Come on ‘a my place,’ and she’s made a conquest. Most women can get any man to do anything they want. Men have it harder. They have to worry about strategy, timing, and tricks.”

As you might expect, a great many women in the crowd took umbrage with those remarks. One even decided that her pencil would make a better spear than a writing utensil, and sent it flying in his direction.

زن تیپیک!
اگر کسی پارادایم «قربانی همیشگی» آنها را به چالش بکشد و تنها گوشه‌ای از مزایای بی‌شماری که به صرف مهبل‌داشتن از آنها برخوردار هستند را یادآوری بکند، با خودکار به او حمله می‌کنند!

The results were fascinating. A total of 96 subjects -- 48 men and 48 women -- were propositioned, partitioned to 32 -- 16 men and 16 women -- for each question. Roughly half of the men and half of the women agreed to go on a date. But, when the suggestion turned sexual, the difference in responses between the genders was stark. None of the women agreed to go to bed with their male askers, and only one agreed to visit a male experimenter's apartment. On the other hand, roughly three-quarters of propositioned males were happy to oblige such titillating proposals.

DESPITE THE OVERT intrigue of the study, reviewers at three scientific journals were not tickled in the least.

"Apart from the rather comical nature and situations... there is no value to this study," one replied, harshly adding, "This paper should be rejected without possibility of being submitted to any scholarly journal."

With the savage criticisms in mind, Clark set the paper aside.

BUOYED BY HATFIELD'S encouragement, Clark replicated the experiment in spring 1982: "same protocol, same time, same place," as Hatfield described...

The results were almost identical. Again 3 out of every four men were happy to have sex with a random woman, while not a single woman was interested.

For the next four years, the study endured many more rejections. But finally, in 1988, the Journal of Psychology and Human Sexuality acquiesced.

In the published study, Clark and Hatfield mostly let the data speak for itself, but they did note the comical fact that men were less willing to go on a date with a random woman than to have sex with her! They also drew attention to the notion that both men and women could have been equally interested in sex, but that men associated fewer risks with the act. In 2011, Michigan psychologist Terri Conley presented data to back that interpretation.

Whatever the reason for the disparity, the data clearly supported Clark's offhand response at that forum over a decade earlier.

"All she has to do is point an inviting finger at any man, whisper ‘Come on ‘a my place,’"

بله جهل‌پرست خودفریب مدرن به چندین «مطالعه»ی متدولوژیک نیاز دارد تا آنچه را در هر کوی و برزنی می‌توان دید بپذیرد. اما آیا پس از آنهم حقیقت را خواهند پذیرفت؟ هرگز! وقتی عینیت با اوهام خردگرا وارد تنازع می‌شود، او هر آنچه در توان دارد را برای فراموش کردن آن، مختل کردن آن، رها کردن آن و ندیدن آن بکار می‌بندد. از جمله سانسور دیتا!
