I posted a critique of a highly dubious news headline on Tumblr here.
The headline that set me off was this tweet:
@pinknews: "STUDY: Straight women judge emotions and thoughts better than lesbian women"
In a nutshell, their sample was only 67 straight women and 43 lesbians. All the straight women were psychology undergrads from their university with a mean age of 19, while the gay test subjects were recruited via fliers in cafes/the internet and the top of their age range was over 30.
