How much research does this invalidate because the gender of the researcher wasn't controlled for?
One article doesn't invalidate anything, need to wait the community response to this study.
However, if it's published in Nature, it has something serious behind.
Why do some people fear rats and mice? These little guys are so cute!
Meanwhile, women fear men.
They shouldn't.
I knew it!
So basically, everyone is afraid of men. For good reason.
