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.

First Scientiae Carnival Is Up

I missed posting on this the day it went up because of my stupid health issues, but the first Scientiae carnival is up thanks to Skookumchick over at Rants of a Feminist Engineer! Go forth and read!

Also note that calls for the second carnival are already posted. Propter Doc of Post Doc Ergo Propter Doc will host.

Now I must get off the computer again before the stupid neck and shoulder seizes up on me. Y'all will have to wait a bit longer for the third installment of discussion of Week 2 of Joy of Science. I hope you are enjoying discussion posts one and two.
