      1. Quillette is terrible. Let's go over how and why. There's the stuff discussed in this article, but also more....https://twitter.com/newrepublic/status/1139555769597255680 …

      Jeet Heer added,

      The New RepublicVerified account @newrepublic
      “I shouldn’t have to worry about being murdered by a neo-Nazi in between writing reviews for Pitchfork or interviewing queer labor activists for Teen Vogue.” How Quillette enabled a right-wing harassment campaign against leftist journalists. http://bit.ly/2WI6tku

      2. Here's an article trying to rehabilitate the merits of 18th and 19th century race science, complete with measurements of skulls. https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1139304377758486530 …pic.twitter.com/0ZUsxbUd1Z

      3. Quillette editor defends article and notes, inter alia, "Craniometry is not phrenology." This leads to internet satirist to mock this as "hebephilia is NOT the same thing as pedophilia."pic.twitter.com/NTGXbck7hF

          4. You might think that the "hebephilia is NOT the same thing as pedophilia" line is over the top but as it turns out, hilariously and terrifyingly, the major claim of the Quillette article rests on an advocate of child rape.

          As if that's the only claim the article makes.

          What *exactly* is wrong with this article? What *specifically* is wrong with it? Or is it just that taking a firm stand Against Science and In Favor of Ignorance is a small price to pay, to maintain the totally unsullied position of moral superiority? https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ajpa.21006 …
