If you’ve been reading Scientific American over the past several years, you may have noticed that it’s taken a bit of a dip in quality. Well, more like a nosedive, actually. It’s a straight-up hot mess now.
Scientific American is publishing more and more partisan garbage dressed up as science

It’s pretty much all partisan garbage these days. Woke partisan garbage, if we’re gonna get technical about it.
Like, take a look at this recent offering from the once-reputable pro-science publication:
Before the late 18th century, Western science recognized only one sex—the male—and considered the female body an inferior version of it. The shift historians call the “two-sex model” served mainly to reinforce gender and racial divisions by tying social status to the body. (6/7) pic.twitter.com/x8KZ5rEaeW

There’s are several tweets about intersexuality that precede that one, but it’s that tweet that really grabbed our attention. Hopefully it’s grabbing yours, too. Because it’s so effing stupid. In fact, it’s quite possibly one of the effingest stupidest things we’ve read recently, and that’s really saying something.
Previously — just this past April, actually — Scientific American said that physicians and psychologists in the 1950s had to deal with the crisis of not knowing what made people male or female. We knew that was BS, of course. But while we’d say it was BS because it’s completely insane and totally made-up, Scientific American would tell us that since April, they’ve discovered that the inability to distinguish between male and female actually dates back from anytime before the late 18th century.
Scientific American should probably just drop the “Scientific” part from their name. They’ve lost the right to use it.

Fake News, Scientific American. Fake. News.
Can anybody explain why early human societies in east Africa were matrilineal if gender originated in 18th century europe?

What year was The Canterbury Tales written

Yes, it all changed when the book of Genesis was published in the 19th century.

For millenia, humans have recognised 2 sexes. Male and female. If this is the quality of your science, I look forward to your upcoming editions on crystal healing, alchemy and scrying.

Should be some real page-turners!
historical revisionism happening before our eyes to justify mutilating children https://t.co/S2OsZtdeo8

*Historical and scientific revisionism.
So many levels of nonsense in this @sciam tweet. They have totally succumbed to postmodernist horsecrap. https://t.co/3LiUn7eg2M

Every part of this is made up and designed to dupe the sub-60 IQ crowd. Which means that it will dupe quite a lot of people, sadly.
