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.

Joy of Science - A Delay, And Lame Excuses

Category: Joy of Science
Posted on: June 5, 2007 3:16 PM, by Zuska

Yeah, so I promised you the reading summaries for today, and they aren't ready. What's my excuse? I haven't had that many migraines in the past week, only two. Oh, I've been playing in the garden, and I went on a garden tour on Saturday instead of working on the readings all day, and blah blah blah...let me tell you, Donna Haraway makes my brain hurt. I don't know who put this week's readings together but I oughta smack them one. It's a nightmare. Oh, wait, that would be me.

Well, I shall be slogging along the rest of the day and you can expect something more or less coherent tomorrow, I am pretty sure.

Here's why the academic year leaves out the summer months: no one should have to read Donna Haraway when the weather is so nice outside. How do they read her in California? How the hell does she write this stuff in California??????
