The place where I come from...is a small town. Coalfields of the Appalachian Mountains

You will be wanting to read my excellent essay, 'Suzy the Computer' vs. 'Dr. Sexy': What's a Geek Girl to Do When She Wants to Get Laid? in She's Such a Geek! Women Write About Science, Technology, and Other Nerdy Stuff.

If you have not yet figured out why you shoud not be using terms like "hard science" and "soft skills", then you absolutely need to read Telling Stories About Engineering: Group Dynamics and Resistance to Diversity in NWSA Journal v. 16 No. 1, 2004 (Re)Gendering Science Fields.

You should also read They Blinded Me With Science: Misuse and Misunderstanding of Biological Theory, an excellent critique of Thornhill and Palmer's nonsense about rape as an evolutionary strategy. You can find it in Burack and Josephson's must-read tome, Fundamental Differences: Feminists Talk Back to Social Conservatives.

Welcome, New Readers!

Yesterday, PZ Myers over at Pharyngula posted an entry with a link to my post on Why I Am Not Polite. And just like that - shazam! - blog traffic here tripled. Oh Mighty PZ, Zuska salutes you!

So, a hearty welcome to all you new readers, and I hope you'll stick around to join in the fun. Check out the "About" tab above if you want to get a quick overview of this blog. Or just browse about. Or whatever. It's just nice to see you here along with the regular crew, and thanks for adding so vigorously to the discussions!

Speaking of PZ, if you need a real laugh for today, go on over to his place and check out Was This A Parody? I don't know how PZ has the time to find all this good stuff. I mean, he actually has to teach and grade papers and all of that, too. Anyway, you have to laugh once in awhile about the ID/creationist Schoolhouse Crusaders For Christ, or else you'll cry. And this bit will certainly make you laugh. I think. Go see!

If you weren't so angry all the time, you'd probably have even more readers. ... Just kidding!

Congrats on the increased traffic.
