Study: Ogling women makes them worse at math
Getting the once-over from a man causes women to score lower on a math test, a new study finds.
Despite this drop in performance, women were more motivated to interact with men who ogled them, perhaps because they were trying to boost their sense of belonging, psychologists report in the February issue of the journal Psychology of Women Quarterly.
"It creates this vicious cycle for women in which they're underperforming in math or work domains, but they're continuing to want to interact with the person who is making them underperform in the first place," study researcher Sarah Gervais, a psychologist at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, told LiveScience.
The objectifying gaze
According to researchers, objectification happens when a person is judged on body parts or sexual function without regard to other aspects of their personality. Previous studies have found that women experience objectification frequently: One to two times a week, according to a 2001 study of U.S. college students that was published in the Journal of Social Issues. <[br />

Who the hell comes up with studies like this? Hey bob, pass me another beer and let's think up something we can study. "Hey I know, does a woman get worse at math if I a looks at her?" "Goddang that's a ****ing good question, let's get us some money to study it."

Sexualized Anchors, Uninformed Male Viewers.
Could it be that news producers who showcase attractive female anchors have goals beyond simply relating information? Let’s hope so, for their sake, because a new study finds that men remember less of the news when it’s read by an “anchoretteâ€* wearing tight clothes and red lipstick than when its presented by the same woman in a shapeless jacket, without lip color.
