Self-Reported studies are absolutely stupid in all regards. Would you ask a group of monkeys how intelligent they thought they were on a scale of 0-100 then ask a group of humans how intelligent they thought they were on a scale of 0-100 and then report that whoever answered the highest was in fact the most intelligent? Uhhhhhh, what?
Asking women what they think about anything just confirms how women think about something which doesn't necessarily (and most likely) have anything to do with what you're trying to measure.
Agree entirely. Especially as women are hugely impacted by social pressures, so their self reports are almost entirely "what does this person want me to say" or "what will make me sound better" instead of a reflection of themselves.
You can gauge stuff about them from what they think makes them sound better, like saying they are feminist because they think it means good, but a direct 1:1 dataset is absolute retardation.
