   Or do babies appear out of the aether when two people of any sex love each other very much? The economists on Twitter seem to have the latter opinion

   I don't know, I'm a man and I have sex with a woman all the time- daily even! But a baby never comes.

   This might have something to do with it being an'al only, but still. This is what we do. No babies! Best thing ever.

   Yes it takes a genetic man and a genetic woman to make a baby.

   I'm pretty certain that one of the clone experiments was done by chemically triggering the egg fertilization after they injected in the dna they wanted. So they only needed the egg from whatever female they used and the necessary dna.

   But, depending on what definition you want, all you need to have a baby is a women with an egg, some man juice and a turkey baster.

    I think we should apply potential outcomes approach to address whether man and woman cause baby to exist. Appears not to be causal though.

    And I'm consistently asked why I'm not on twitter. So I don't have to engage with people like these who have infected the profession.

    My summary:

    Though the work looks serious, the authors surely could have predicted that a slightly different first sentence would go over better and convey the same meaning.

    The mob is a little ridiculous. So much gratuitous self-righteousness.

    The original tweet was pretty funny, and not subject to the same criticisms as the mob.

    Not clicking on that Twitter link.

    That said, there is a boatload of literature in sociology on that topic. I wonder if the authors looked at it.
