We have a contender.
Meet Dmitri. He’s a pick-up artist, which in itself gives him about 50 million douchebag points. He met a woman named Olga, who talked to him for a few minutes, gave him her card, and said, “Call me.”
So he did. She wasn’t home, and he left the second-douchiest phone message in […]

So I was idly paging through CNN.com and came across this headline:

Poll shows Americans cool to Michelle Obama
Posted: 10:30 AM ET
Oh brother…aside from the fact that a candidate’s spouse should be a virtual non-issue and so should everybody’s opinion of him or her–
The new Associated Press-Yahoo poll shows 30 percent of Americans view […]

I think I confuse them sometimes by being half-woman, half-engineer!, and that’s how I end up on these e-mail chains at work. Yes, I did say “AT WORK.”
Subject Line: FW: WOMEN AS EXPLAINED BY ENGINEERS

Just completely gross.
Short version: Sarasota Planned Parenthood and Habitat for Humanity team up with a plan that will help Planned Parenthood with some zoning issues and help Habitat get some almost-free land. For their altruism, they’re repaid with the nastiest of the nasty anti-choice contingent:
“We could have put up any building we wanted,” said […]

This just really, really irritates me.
Mother’s love worth $117,000 per year, study says
No, THAT isn’t what irritates me…actually I’d say that mother’s love, or any healthy parental love, is priceless. I think we’ve all seen how damaged people can end up being when they aren’t on the receiving end of much, or any, as […]

Continued from Part One.
My last major business trip was to Sweden. See, if I just left it at that, it would sound like, really c-o-o-l but in fact, what it was was really freaking C-O-L-D (February!) and yo, it was also really freaking b-u-s-i-n-e-s-s. The trip consisted of twelve-hour days in a mostly […]

Via.
The freedom to say ‘no’
Why aren’t there more women in science and engineering? Controversial new research suggests: They just aren’t interested.
Really, we’d much rather be changing shitty diapers, scrubbing toilets and putting out for room, board and an allowance. And that’s what choice feminism is all about!
…no, I’m not being fair. It’s just […]

Not every blog post has to be a work of fine art. And certainly, many of us bloggers write badly in many ways. I, for example, write long sentences and repeat words too many times. Also I love the comma. Love it, love it, love it. I have enough journalism […]

You know that asshole giving away his SSN on TV and telling you he can protect yours as good as he protects his?
You’ll be shocked to find that he has 20 drivers licenses and is apparently 67 years old.
“While LifeLock has only publicly acknowledged that Davis’ identity was compromised on one occasion, there are more […]

In a previous post, I described what is a not-uncommon on-the-job incident for me–to wit, having to deal with men who have been, shall we say, societally overprogrammed in terms of the proper roles and abilities of the female half of the human race. A commenter on the thread, after reading my little story, […]

Hi everybody! I’m sorry I haven’t been posting lately, not that y’all have noticed with our fantastic new bloggers filling the void I’d left behind. I took my last final ever today (squee!) and am gearing up to leave the country in a few weeks, so things have been a bit busy. […]

Creep.

(drumroll, please!)
William Saletan of Slate, on race and IQ.
Five months ago, I wrote a series on race, genes, and intelligence.
You sure did. I remember it well. It inspired one of my very first blog posts ever.
Everything about it hurt: the research, the writing, the reactions, the regrets.
I agree that your research and […]
