[Marxism] Sexism and pseudoscience

["Charles Brown" <cbrown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Phil Gasper, author of "Behind the Claim ..." posted by Louis on Feb.
23, shows that pseudo- journalism can overwhelm almost anything. In
places, it brings tears to my eyes, which is a biological explanation
for....
Just one example------

I quote:
DEVELOPMENTS IN genetics, biotechnology and brain research over the past
15 years have boosted attempts to explain social inequalities and other
social problems in biological terms.
Despite [sic] this, efforts to explain aspects of human behavior--from
schizophrenia to homosexuality to "criminality"--in genetic terms have
not produced any credible results. The McGill University neuroscientist
Evan Balaban has described such research as representing a "hierarchy of
worthlessness."
end quote.

This is so wrong!
On homosexuality there IS overwhelming proof. In 95 % of the cases,
homosexuals have heterosexual parents. In 99.9% of the cases, at least
one parent is heterosexual. No one in their right mid can deny that
hetrosexuality is an essential precondition for homosexuality, and THAT
is genetics. George Blander, a geneticist at SFU, agrees emphatically. A
research team reported the same results in a  recent paper on the subject.

CB: Could the fact that same-sex is not fertile impact this empirical result
?
