Agree that there is a lot of agenda driven research and that confirmation bias and outright lying is involved. Started doing research on the radfem movement after I read the all PIV is rape nonsense awhile ago. When people actually argue that the way all mammals reproduce isnt natural you realize quickly that these people have lost touch with reality. They are a lot like the young earth creationist.
