Fuck on toast. I was just reminiscing about my college days when the women's officer thought 'Come to the Women's Group, we're not all lesbians' was a great rallying cry.
I'd far rather have evidence that feminists give less of a toss about their partnerhood, their straightness and their conventional attractiveness.
(Actually, I'm wondering what they did with the lesbians. Specifically, and generalising wildly and idly: I imagine that a load more lesbians will probably self-identify as feminists, so that's going to skew your sample away from 'more likely to have stable heterosexual relationships' (oh horrors). So a) if the feminists are still having more stable het relationships, even including the feminist lesbians, then just how dire and unstable are the non-feminist heterosexual relationships? b) if they had some lesbians in the sample, did they just knock them out (in which case it should have mentioned that) or did they just let them count for the stuff about being attractive (which is kind of cheating if you've ignored them and weed on them in every other aspect of the study)?
This is an only half-series question on an empty stomach. I will check their methodology.
