Y. researcher: War, women connected
16 comments | Read story
I look forward to seeing what impact the WomenStats Project may have on foreign policy in the future. What a great wealth of information!
Dr. Hudson, Thanks for looking at the "heart of the matter."
In any case, I appreciate the data that has been accumulated to establish what women all over the world understand instinctively. Thank you Professor Hudson.

Duh!
That said, I am totaly opposed to misrepresenting "facts" just to try and prove a point.
The comment that in 2005 10 mill more were lost than in a century of war is grosly innacurate. The 10 mill assumes all living women from baby to grandma, so it's a 60 year range...not 1. Next, the data is an extrapolation of everyone that a researcher (not Dr.H) thought should be alive, including people that died of natural causes, and it ignores similar male deaths. Maybe Dr.H explains this in her research and it is the fault of the DesNews, but lying in research brings all the research into question.
However, I think one person dying this way is beyond reprehensible. My issue is only with scientific honesty, not the terrible things that do in fact happen.
She knows that her data comes not from an experiment but a study which can only prove correlation.
This study is designed to promote discussion and more research on the subject.
This Headline is either deceiving or flat out wrong.
The "research" fails to link or explain:
The Vietnam War
WWII
WWI
The Spanish American War
The American Civil War
The War of 1812
and
The American Revolution
For example -
By using this sort of reasoning, a "war in heaven" would be caused by a Father in Heaven beating and/or abusing his wife.
My point here is to use caution to run to any false conclusions, use sound scientific methods and reasoning.
You can twist statistics to say anything you'd like them too.
