I think some sociological "soft science" (so-called) studies sometimes present interesting topics for discussion, but as I said, I am very suspicious of them and it sure as hell is not science and ultimately they don't prove shit.

Just academic wank material, more often than not. I don't have much patience for that crap. That goes for "feminist" studies, too.

Interesting for discussion. Do not prove a fucking thing.
