Idiot Psychology: The Hell With It

I hate it when people get all "psychology" on people they don't like and say stupid things and become incredibly self satisfied. Two examples bother me:

1) "guys who are aggressive are insecure about their penis size."


What the fuck?


How did anyone find this out?


Isn't it much more likely males display dominant behavior for the same reasons every other fucking pack mammal does: the become "in charge" and more attractive to women? I've known a lot of these assholes, none of them were insecure. Quite the opposite.

2) People who dislike gays are worried that they might be secretly gay themselves.


This is just retarded.


Anyone got any more examples?

    Drugs are being used to fill a void in someone's life.

    Sure, I'm sure it's true for a lot of people, but I also know a lot of people who just enjoy getting fucked up...

    *For the record, I don't do drugs*

    Doesn't really fall into the category you're describing, but the term "gateway drug" really pisses me off.

    I could actually write a book on shit like this but I will spoil the ending in here. Half of psychology is nonsense spouted off to avoid responsibility and make someone into a victim of circumstances rather than stating the obvious. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

    Anybody who calls "psychology" a science doesn't know what they're talking about.

    A lot of it is overanalyzing, but there are aspects of it that do a great deal to explain human nature. While not exactly the most scientific of fields, it is far from being a pseudoscience.

    Explaining human nature is biology and chemistry - actual sciences with empirical data and controls.

    Certain fields of psychology focus on the brain and the biological reactions that occur in certain scenarios, which is science. Others, like Freud, is philosophy, not science.

    What is science?

    And I am a scientist and somewhat know what it is, but am far too young to grasp it's definition.

    Difference between:
    Brain activity can be measured using EEG scans

    vs.

    Freud's theory in which I would instinctively want to kill my dad and have sex with my mom
