Or people who love their moms are 3 times more likely to choose a bad password.

People who love their moms are less intelligent than those who love their dads? There is a dissertation in psychoanalytics just waiting to be written.

Just don't wear a Hawaiian shirt while giving interview about it on TV.

Some actual expert was on TV talking about space, a European space probe I think, wearing his Hawaiian shirt with ludicrous SciFi babes on it, and a certain type of person kicked off declaring that somehow SciFi babe Hawaiian shirt is misogyny incarnate or something.

The main outcome for me was that now two different friends own sofa cushions with the identical fabric pattern, they're a bit... garish? Both these friends are women, one of them is a bona fide scientist with a PhD and everything, so evidently the "No to SciFi babes on Hawaiian shirts" misogyny claims were less "mainstream feminism" and more "I'm just looking for reasons to be angry", but whatever, that's culture for you.

I remember that story. The shirt was actually made for the guy by a female friend as a gift

I think it lines up well with existing theories, that of the oedipal complex combined with the idea that women are smarter.
