"But all half-kidding aside, this is why I take issue with science, and with scientists who study gender: the field of science is pretty notorious for gender discrimination. That fact has been pointed out by scientists, many of whom wrote in response to Lawrence Summers' vague theorizing about why women aren't in as esteemed positions in research and higher mathematics. So you've got an industry - & especially the feminists within that industry - clearly pointing out that the FIELD of science is pretty damn discriminatory."

Every study has it's downfall. It would depend on who paid for the study. Studies like those are like surveys. It all depends on what side of the fence your on.

Not every study is science even if its covered in the veneer of such trappings. I.E. all social science, is not, science.
