41% of the participating students identified as female.
Veja-se só no que os amer(d)icanos agora andam: para saber se uma pessoa é macho ou fêmea, perguntam-lhe como é que ela se “identifica”. Em vez de usarem critérios objetivos, como a observação dos órgãos sexuais ou um teste hormonal, perguntam à pessoa como é que ela se identifica. E depois usam estas “identificações” subjetivas para fazerem estudos supostamente objetivos e científicos!
Luis Lavoura, v. esta a disparatar, como de costume, mas neste caso o comentario é particularmente absurdo.
V. esta a sugerir que os autores do estudo deviam ter ido certificar-se pessoalmente (aos apalpões, presumo) se as declarantes tinham ou não os atributos do sexo que declararam ? Ou então acha que teria sido mais “cientifico” os autores do estudo afirmarem que 41 % dos inquirido eram mulheres sem dizer como é que elas foram identificadas ? Palavra que não percebo.
Boas
Do resto, nem por isso…
