On a regular basis, people wander onto this blog and say mysteriously, “Haven’t you read what Flavia had to say about this? Just go and read Flavia!” They always refuse to say more or explain themselves, so I began to suspect there was a hidden source of wisdom with the code name of “Flavia.” Finally, one of these enigmatic creatures left me a link to “Flavia.” I dutifully added the “Flavia” blog to my enormous blogroll, and forgot all about it.
Yesterday I was scrolling through my news feed and I caught a glimpse of the word “Flavia” accompanied by another familiar name, Mark Regnerus. Regnerus is a vile freakazoid of the gay-bashing and the “women’s market value” declines steadily as they age” fame. The poor folks who have the great misfortune of working alongside this hate-monger made a statement distancing himself from his bigotry. And the oft-lauded “Flavia” creature got herself into a veritable tizzy in her rush to defend the vicious homophobe she calls “one dissenting researcher.”
Of course, it is not surprising to me that there are woman-hating homophobes aplenty who rush to defend losers like Regnerus. What baffles me is why people could have thought that I might be interested in reading anybody who sees Regnerus as being “on the cutting edge of research”?
