William Saletan's desperate attempt to write like a Feminist blogger

It never ceases to amaze me how the main stream media hacks continue their march to bloggifying their journalistic practices at the same time they harrass, insult and undermine the work of blogging pioneers.

The title of this Saletan post says it all : Why banging your sister is icky. - By William Saletan - Slate Magazine:

A study offers new evidence that natural selection drives the incest taboo. On average, your level of disgust at the notion of sex with a sibling correlates with how long you cohabited with that sibling and watched your mom care for her as a small child. So does your level of altruistic behavior toward the sibling. These experiential factors correlate more strongly with incest aversion than does your belief that the sibling is genetically related to you. The researchers posit a mental "kinship estimator" that converts "maternal perinatal association" into altruism and sexual disgust, driving you to choose a mate outside your family. Old idea: Nature makes you horny for your sister, but faith teaches you it's icky. New idea: Nature tells you it's icky, and faith takes the credit.

Tell that is not something Lorraine or Amanda would have posted on a blog?

I rest my case ... hypocrite.
