My sledgehammer really turns me on doc...

Here we go. Back to some good old psycho-waffle. Psychologist Susan Fiske thinks men are more likely to think of women as objects if they've looked at sexy pictures of females beforehand.

'Researchers' "...used brain scans to show that when straight men looked at pictures of women in bikinis, areas of the brain that normally light up in anticipation of using tools, like spanners and screwdrivers, were activated." How d'you know that then? How the hell did you come to that conclusion?

Perhaps Paddy Mac can interpret the scan: the reddish bit was brighter than the bluey bit, but a bit duller than the green bit, but the yellowy bit was opaque so, in alignment with the purply area just in the corner, there were adequate suggestions that perhaps the neurotransmitters were possibly going to turn a whitish colour, which in conclusion means men like women.

So then, do we really need this expensive psycho-waffle? By the way, isn't this a bit sexist? What happened to the pretty colours when women looked at pictures of men?
