“Across analyses, I reveal two demographic facts,” ....
Uh.....ok.... mayhaps Associate Prof Mittleman has an underlying homosexual bias? Asking for a friend....
Actually, this is just a continuation of the work he did in his Doctoral Dissertation.....we all know that Sociology is an exact hard science so can’t argue with his ‘facts’ and analyses. He checked the boxes on sampling, controls and accounted for mischievous responders, etc. so it’s all good, right? You can gussy up academic science-pretender subjects all you want but in the end you’re still left with supposition.
On this tongue-in-cheek point, last year on a post on social sciences featured this brilliant give and take (it's really one for the ages) involving a Harvard faculty member critical of Charles Murray from the original article, that is worth reprinting - it is with regard to the "certainty of SCIENCE":
"so why should we let someone teach social science that we know to be wrong in our social science courses?"
Because it is possible that you are wrong.
Science is not mathematics. Newtonian physics was wrong. And social science is a further three rungs down in certainty from science.
Your level of certainty and arrogance about what can be said, and probably thought, smacks of religion, and not science. This is a political religion that permeates academia at the moment. And which I am fairly sure you will swear does not infect you, while the rest of us can see the symptoms quite plainly.
Only religions ban heretics from speaking because of the wrong-think they might cause. Real science loves a good heretic. In fact, honestly, the entire goal of science is to be a heretic. To have an idea that no other person ever had. Science is the pretty much the antithesis of your thought-police approach.
And most of academia used to be the antithesis of your thought police approach as well, until the religion of leftism took it over, with the direct help of people like you.
Nah - the “study” is bunk, based on self-reporting and I’m sure includes the author’s bias.
He’s basically stating that 52% of graduates are gay in a world where <5% of the population is.
