So it is okay for this sociologist to profile men with negative group characteristics and stereotyping women with negative characteristics is out of bounds? I thought the liberal bible states there is no difference between men and women.Lady, ever hear of testosterone? Probably not because it would lay waste to all your neatly packaged sociological theories.

When someone prefaces their profound insights with, “As a sociologist,” I ain’t listening.

That’s a paraphrase of V.I. Lenin’s famous quote.

‘Pod’s version: Liberalism is an infantile mental disorder.

Lisa Wade says that sociologists like her are trained to see patterns. And it turns out human brains are in fact very good at finding patterns, particularly ones they are looking for.

Just like Percival Lowell, if you look enough for something you'll find it. In Lowell's case it was canals on Mars, seen by him as evidence of an advanced civilization there.

In the case of Ms. Wade it is an aversion to men, and a desire to find masculinity as the root cause of every problem. She goes so far as to suggest "that men would fear gay men" and somehow men's need to enforce a patriarchy led to a gay man attacking other gay men. She utterly ignores the motivations the killer himself expressed.

Lowell was likely to have been motivated by a desire to discover something new, and while his perception was incorrect his observatory went on to make useful contributions to society.

Ms. Wade's motivation is not so benign. She evinces an overwhelming misandry, leading her to project her own hatred onto others.
