    Perfectly normal journalist @sullydish has spent the last 24h demanding NYT writers and editors provide him with evidence that there are no racial differences in penis size. Why? The NYT ran an article referring to this belief as a myth. 1/4pic.twitter.com/BSuTYzK8zs

        Of course, no evidence could possibly satisfy @sullydish’s demands because any two large groups will have non-zero differences between their means (and because real scientists don’t waste their time comparing racial penis sizes). 2/4pic.twitter.com/lKpvm8fiTN

        The problem here is interpreting “X is a myth” to mean “I can prove that X is false” rather than “the basis for belief in X is myth not good scientific evidence.” i.e. the claim does not have its origins in good science. 3/4

        This (deliberate?) misreading is then used to accuse the NYT’s 1619 project and other work debunking scientific racism as “critical race theory rhetoric” (bad apparently) rather than “fact” and calling such efforts “pseudoscience.” (I see what you did there) 4/4pic.twitter.com/h3AMAX3DDZ

        A common trope among reactionaries over the last few years has been to portray the scientific consensus (on race, gender etc.) as an attack on science by a radical Other (critical race theory, "grievance studies", post structuralism, etc.). https://twitter.com/Simon_Whitten/status/1214521337777184768 …

        People who find this appalling and hilarious in equal measure may in interest in this absurdly long thread I once made about racist studies about penis size:https://twitter.com/Simon_Whitten/status/1173321402168041472 …

        In 2013 he current head of PF, Richard Lynn, published a paper on racial differences in penis size. He concluded that the “Negroid race” (2013!!!) is indeed endowed with both superior length and girth. Why? 40/100

        While the penis thing is really funny, this type of claim plays a role in the broader context of racist pseudoscience and leads to some pretty dark places.https://twitter.com/Simon_Whitten/status/1173319663322841088 …

        Scientific racism, a thread: In March, a journal published a paper defending the “theory” that Boasian anthropology, Freudian psychology, multiculturalism, Marxism and left-wing political movements in general are best understood in terms of “Jewish group evolutionary strategy.”

        It is possible that the NYT’s myth busting has ruined his favourite fetish. ;-)
