Total rant: I just edited a supposedly scientific paper from a group in Japan. I have NEVER seen such appallingly sexist, patronizing claptrap in my life, and I have seen quite a bit of such garbage. I don’t think this paper would have been acceptable back in the disgusting 1950s; I’m pretty sure (I hope) it will be rejected out of hand by any and all journals. The picture of the smirking male doctors surrounding a 14 year old girl at the end was the icing on the cake. I’m pretty sure I’m going to be fired over the content of my comments to the authors. I had to take a shower after finishing it. What the hell is wrong with men?
What the hell are you talking about?
You need any extra paint for that broad brush?
Link to the group, please.
Did the paper say women urinate through the clitoris?
They were probably going on about “Wandering Womb” theory, and how it makes women “think” they are having menstrual cramps when they really are just fine and should go make their husband a sandwich.

What?
All right - that’s three WTF posts in one thread. The list you all could do is linky.
Would be helpful if you would describe or give some examples/excerpts from the offending article in question.
Otherwise, this is like someone complaining about a speech by a politician, *“I just heard the most awful speech today. The things that politician said - just unbelievable. I have never heard such ignorant theories, unsubstantiated claims, BS in my life. How could someone possibly believe that stuff? I won’t be able to get that terrible speech out of my head for a week.” * All people will be thinking - instead of commiserating - is a curious, “WHAT was in that speech?”
LEAST
d’oh!

Those wacky Japanese. But it can be all fun and games until someone gets an eye poked out.
Thank you for this thread. I woke up at 3 am to find dog poop on my kitchen floor (I’m lookin’ at you, Sweetie), and couldn’t go back to sleep. Now I’m laughing hysterically. After I go pee (from my you-know-what), I believe I will sleep just fine. 
How hard can it be to find out? Just do a google image search for the terms the OP listed: ‘smirking males surrounding a 14-year-old girl’.
Is it a SECRET scientific paper?
Does it have a title perhaps?
Why bring it up at all, if your OP is all the info you’re willing to share?
What the hell is wrong with men?
Heh. My brother edits a psych journal, and while it’s not my field he occasionally rants my direction about the degree of ineptitude, stupidity and sheer handwaving that some authors try to pass off as a peer-level paper. It’s kind of like those stupid things high school students write in history papers, but way funnier when it’s postgrads doing it.
Yikes!
I’ll bet you were kidding.
