Update: The authors admit it was junk science
07/13/15 03:42 AM


Some sleuths on Reddit discovered that this "study" was just an Internet survey at surveymonkey.com and links to it were only posted to social-justice-leaning websites. And people were only supposed to take the survey if they're a teenage boy, on the honor system.

After they got called out, the authors admitted it was just a "convenience sample" in order to start a discussion:

I'm waiting on Time Magazine and The Guardian to print some retractions.
