Real Big Men 0

At the Psychology Today website, Barbara J. Risman takes a look at Pete Hegseth’s wierd fixation with testerone. She makes three main points; follow the link for her article.

  • There is no good scientific reason for testing troops’ testosterone levels.
  • Hormones affect us, but not in linear fashion; high levels of testosterone don’t trigger killer instincts.
  • Screening for low testosterone provides a seemingly objective way to push women out of the military.

A Classic Case of Psychological Projection 0

Rex Huppke finds it laughable, in a twisted, depressing sort of way, that Republicans are accusing Democrats of extremism. He notes that

Democratic extremism – in the eyes of the Republicans apoplectically screaming “COMMIES!” – is largely a reflection of what mainstream Americans want. They’re sick of high food prices, unaffordable rent and health care, anti-science rhetoric, cruel immigration policies and the kind of wanton governmental corruption Trump and the GOP engage in daily.

Republicans have controlled the government for almost two years and have only proved themselves to be the real extremists.

The entire piece is worth the few moments it will take you to read it.
