The End of Men? The Atlantic Monthly Reports on One of Its 14 3/4 Biggest Ideas of the Year!

By Linda | June 28, 2010

Hanna Rosin, Atlantic Monthly associate editor, is the author of a highly entertaining and certainly controversial stance taken in this article. She begins with the very interesting story of the scientific journey of Ronald Ericsson, a biologist who, forty years ago, separated sperm by sex, thus offering potential parents the hope they could choose the sex [...]

Remembering The Past, While Living the Present—Writing “The Buffalo Bitch Trials”

By Linda | June 21, 2010

If you are a regular reader, you know that I am writing a book: The Buffalo Bitch Trials. I am, of course, the Buffalo “Bitch”. And proudly so. Just in case you didn’t know, the word “bitch” has been transformed from one of degradation to one of pride. In 1968, [...]

Consciousness Raising for Middle-Aged Male Scientists: Congress’s Solution to Gender Discrimination in the Sciences is Nonsense!

By Linda | June 9, 2010

The House of Representatives has done it again! Another piece of legislation which, on the whole may be helpful for the advancement of science and technology, but its proposed solution for gender equity issues is patently absurd. I must confess that I did not read the entire bill, but suggest you read section [...]

When Mistakes Are Good News: Life Is Not an Instant Replay

By Linda | June 7, 2010

Freedom of the press is a guaranteed constitutional right. When the constitution was written, however, there was no radio, TV, or internet.
