  • Getting angry makes you beautiful.

    But alas I once had a neighbor who was overweight, alchoholic, undereducated who was alway yelling at her unemployed boyfriend or at her underachieving potato chip eating delinquent spawns. So that kills that hypothesis.

  • I don't know that the UCSB researchers contributed nothing to that article.

  • Wow, UCSB propaganda in full effect. Never would have thought it would have come from University quite like that.

  • For some reason this is really easy to masturbate to.

    

  • Trust me getting exasperated at BBC news can become a chronic illness. Watch channel 4 news instead, although that itself is dumbing down at an alarming rate.

  • This may be related in a tangental fashion but I'm a little frustrated with the views that argue women are being empowered by these movie roles depicting strong women such as Tomb Raider, Kill Bill, etc. and that these films are progressive in the sense that they transcend gender rolls. But, these 'warrior women' are still beautiful in a very traditional way, they perpetuate heteronormativity, and they are sexualized characters wearing skimpy clothes. They'e sill made into an image.

  • Does it really bother you that much...your still a brunette lesbian warrior princess to me sugar tits.

  • None of this addresses the question of gingers not having souls.

  • off with her top!

  • well when i worked out 2-3 hours a day for 3 years, i did get stronger but did not get more aggressive or entitled, i just felt better and life was easier and people treated me better.

    so i think the magnitude of the effect is very slight when it comes to a sense of entitlement compared to the other positive benefits of working out and increasing physical strength.

    i HATE qualitative studies!!!

  • hmm, Lucy Lawless is blond... Long live chainmail bikini!

  • well...i really don't care what color hair you have.....i'd love to be behind you or at your side in a fight....but then.....you are too smart to have on the front line....i'd do my best to fight for a true red-blooded american...like you

  • Maybe pretty women just think they're more entitlted to a symbiotic relationship in their pants.

  • Oh no she's a pretty woman in an angered state, everyone run for your lives shes had military training!!

  • Do you believe a study that tells lies about a specific mutation that only found within one 'racial' group/pool of genetics is racist? Is this a racist, anti-White study? Blonde hair is distinct to "white" people of Eurasian descent and mostly white Europeans.

    Is this study any different than a study that says black Africans with larger lips are more prone to violence, for example?

  • it make the reporter look stuiped ,,, ps love the top

  • You just don't understand: It's the warrior blondes that run Time magazine and the BBC that perpetrated this nonsense. It's a blonde conspiracy!

  • I bet that it's just because u can trace back in the Talmud & Torah , along w/ the views of many top rabbis, that northern Europeans are the biggest threat to jewish domination & thats why they need to be eliminated. The same reason jews set up the Romans for destruction by the Moor's w/ their form of multi-culturism.(mass rape). Same thing w/ the (blonde) Greeks. Same thing in WW2 w/ the Russians ordering soldiers to rape all European women they encountered.Now its happening again subversively.

  • Clicking this, I assumed I'd hear a hate rant against blondes from a jealous jewess. LOL! Sorry' bout that. There's too much of that going around unfortunately. In any case, this was more about the ridiculous state of our media! Yay. They do NOT report the truth. IMHO, their purpose is to dumb down & social engineer the 90% who are either too gullible, busy, or afraid to research & find the truth. Cuz that's what u have to do to get it. Work. Hard. Good vid btw.

  • Love the shirt

  • Blonde and therefore confident, or insecure and therefore bleached?? It wouldn't surprise me that blondes don't think they are more attractive. Isn't that the reason more than a few of them became blonde?

    Reminds me of a study that "proved" moderate drinkers are more healthy than non-drinkers. Turns out the 'non-drinking' group contained abstinant alcoholics with serious health consiquences... FROM DRINKING!! Would tend to skew results, eh??

    poorly defined test groups = no causal link

  • i'm scottish......avoid red heads. 

  • Her anger would have subsided if she would have taken off her shirt.

  • dunno about blonde woman being warlike but ive seen a lot of blondies in professional sports.

  • you sit around and think too much.

  • Love the vlog. Random off-topic question...where did you get the shirt? 

  • @SparkyValentine86 Hi, thanks! The link to buy the shirt is in the description (though the exact color isn't offered anymore, sadly).

  • @rkwatson Is sexualizing like the N-word? in that it's ok for a chick to do it to herself, but not ok 4 a dude to do it to a chick. or was the message on the shirt printed on top of the breasteses meant to be entirely platonic.

  • Fuck the shirt.

    Look. You've got a nice set of tits. Dye your hair, get rid of the glasses and get with the program skepchick.

  • com to me worship me

  • *looks baffled* when did news ever tell the truth? *shrugs*

    Aside from that, I will not mention how good your shirt looks, it makes me seem like all I was doing was staring at your breast....instead, I will ask what's wrong with your eyebrow? maybe it's just a shadow, lighting is weird angled, might want to think about putting the camera facing directly away from the light so we can see all of your pretty face :)

  • I'm not sure if the article made women look stupid but defiantly bitches.

  • Love the t-shirt!

  • I just spent 3.15 secs considering your points. As for your arguement I have to agree with you totally, the BBC should be ashamed of this blatant display of sexism.

    Take care. (of your man)

  • I thought this was going to be about Gabrielle's part in Xena or something. Not disappointed, though.

    Interestingly enough, Lucy Lawless is a natural blond but the producers thought that Xena would cut a more impressive figure as a brunette.

  • Definitely entitled to better news. Fo shizzle.

  • Awesome shirt!

  • They made you angry, ergo, you dye your hair Blondie.

  • It is very odd to see Rebecca Watson after hearing her voice on SGU for so long. I wonder if Steve and Bob are so gooood lookin'

  • You are entitled to better news sources, and if that's how you are when you are angry, how would you ever expect to be considered pretty? :-)

    jokes aside... real sceptics don't get angry, because anger throws off judgement, and we'd rather be truthful than pretty any day...

  • Nice video: a round of applause to you and Mr. Sager. It is depressing to see this much ineptitude in the newsroom, and this isn't even something you can blame on recent job cuts in the industry.

    While the study itself was only of mild interest (who would have suspected attractive women(people) and strong men tend to have a greater sense of entitlement,) it did not deserve the mistreatment the press gave it; misreported first and then 'corrected' into a puff piece.

  • Great report Rebecca! Now go buy a light kit :)

  • Happy to buy a light kit, as soon as someone starts paying me serious money to do YouTube videos!

  • So those ads I'm seeing are for google's benefit alone? Even the one that started playing along the bottom of your video?

    PS: It's a blonde woman in a bikini; thank you google ads.

  • I get approx. two pence every time someone clicks one of those. And most are so awful that no one ever actually clicks them, so, yeah. Hence, the "serious money" part of my response!

  • How does preety and anger b in the sam category of warlike women

    I agree i am not that preety but i am angerd

    Very eseally

  • did i mention you are hot? dang Rebecca Watson!?

  • Good one, thanks!

  • They also missed the perfect headline:

    "Did anyone ever tell you that you're angry when you're beautiful?"

  • The worst part about the bad science reporting is that it leads to public mistrust... of science! But it should lead to public mistrust of the media, and yet it doesn't. Why?!

    Also, I thought redheads were the warrior women. At least that's my anecdotal experience.

  • To legally watch tv in the uk each household pays the bbc a licence fee of £142.00 a year. To get more truthful news maybe we need to pay more. I like the bbc but hate funding bullshit.

  • "Pretty women anger more easily."

    "Pretty" by what standard?

  • @lazyperfectionist1 That's a pretty hard question.

  • Here's another one: "Angry" by what standard? How do you quantify how pretty or angry someone is?

  • Blonde women are more likely to be princesses? They're more likely to be descended from royalty?

  • Nah, just more likely to be subconsciously compared to Lucy Lawless: I'd say Xena, but she was brunette (or dyed or wearing a wig,) during that show.

  • Now that's an interesting thought.

  • I desire that shirt. Well, a man's version of that shirt. Where did you get it? Google gives nothing.

  • wtf

  • Here's a news title "Blonde women are more prone to be in jokes... scientists baffled"

  • The first rule of journalism:

    Never let the truth get in the way of a good story!

  • We're all entitled to better news, especially science news.

  • Why would someone even bother to report this? Blondes do this and pretty women do this. it Hurts the mind! O.o BBC - bologna reporting.

    "Now i'm angry." XD

  • Everyone is entitled to better news.

  • I always wondered why you were so belligerent!

  • love the shirt!

  • It's a sad day when I lose trust in BBC reporting. I thought that public money they get would give them high standards.

    I'm really saddened by this.

  • Whoa a journalist not printing the facts but a juicy story... No surprise then. Those that can write, do. Those that can't write become jourlalists or scumrakers.

  • I have a preference to blogs and vblogs, yet for some reason, they are not regarded as trusted sources.

    Nice shirt...:)

  • it really depends on who report the news, not where you get it. If you read science based blogs to get your science news , that certainly would be more safe than getting our science news from cnn or bbc, I remember one a reporter on cnn going on about how magnetic waves travel through air.

  • ★★★★★

  • Well, speaking AS a brunette lesbian... *evil glint*

  • Love the shirt, and the science.

  • Gosh, you sure are pretty when you're angry, Rebecca.

    In all seriousness, though, I wouldn't worry about it too much. The sort of person stupid enough to buy into an article like that usually wouldn't be reading that sort of article in the first place.

  • Journalistic integrity is a thing of the past. That's why I don't pay attention to the news, anymore.

  • ive found that only children tend to have a more entitled personality

  • that's bull*** also for guys.. if your strong it usually means you act kinder less war like... otherwise small man syndrome would be a lie.

  • hot

  • HA! Love the shirt! I want one

  • I like you when you're all entitled! :-P

    Yeah, most journalists suck, not only in reporting science but pretty much anything. This is only the tip of the tip of one iceberg. I'm from Italy so unfortunately I know a lot more than I would have liked about how bad journalism can be...

  • Good stuff. I personally think all the fact checkers left in the world must work for either Rachel Maddow or Jon Stewart.

  • good video, and nice shirt ; )

  • bbc should write the writers names in the article, so there is more accountability.

  • What a strange fantasy world the mainstream media lives in.

  • You are brilliant!

  • It's funny to see a major news site spreading rubish.

    "Next up on BBC The ultimate truth about how homeopathy actually works!"
