I've had a lot of down time lately because of health issues. Migraines, of course, but also now chronic neck/shoulder pain caused by the migraines. I've been working on the discussion entries and I will have them up soon, but I don't know when. I can't spend a lot of time on the computer at one stretch because it causes the neck/shoulder area to become even worse. So - maybe today, maybe tomorrow. In the meantime, if you've read the reading summaries (or, heaven forbid, if you did the actual readings!) and have anything you'd like to say about them yourself, please feel free to post something on that entry. After all, this is your class too!

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.
