More Trumpism

“However, a new scientific study is giving women with irascible husbands new grounds to be proud of their bruises, insofar as women who are beaten, biologists confirm, have a valuable advantage: they’re more likely to give birth to boys!”

The scientific study refers to research by Satoshi Kanazawa, a controversial evolutionary psychologist.

In 2005 Mr Kanazawa published an article titled ‘Violent men have more sons’, and three years later another titled ‘Why do some battered women stay?’, in which he stated women “may have been selected to tolerate a certain level of nonlethal violence in their mates”.

He has also stated African countries suffer from poverty due to “low IQs”, and that black women are “objectively less attractive”.

Passing laws based upon junk science is a favorite past time of authoritarian regimes.
