The study later got retracted due to backlash but the fact that it happened at all if fucking baffling.

Don’t forget this study that instead of studying the causes or cures for endo studied the mental effects of the men in a relationship with someone who has endo.

    This is so fucked up and absolutely hillarious at the same time, in an absurd, kafkaesque way.

    What kind of sleepy misogynistic fuck proposes this idea, and how the fuck does it get approved?

      I can see this having some utility for evolutionary science - why do so many women have such a horrible disease? Because of mate selection.

      There’s a hypothesis that homosexuality evolved because it’s caused by genes that also cause greater attractiveness and/or fertility, so the genes are propagated by straight family of gay people.
