 Nice little summary on the intersection of politicized science and feminists. And if you think that's a hot subject, try the book I'm half way through:
RACE (The Reality of Human Differences) by Vincent Sarich and Frank Miele
Feminists find no solace in science that disagrees with them
by Phillis Schlafly
"...The outburst by feminist professors simply confirms the stereotype that not only are they too emotional to handle intellectual or scientific debate, but that they seek to forbid any research that might produce facts they don't want the public to know.
When MIT Professor Nancy Hopkins rushed from the room, claiming her "heart was pounding" and her "breath was shallow," she reminded us of Miss Pittipat Hamilton in "Gone With the Wind" calling for her smelling salts before she swooned.
We expect more willingness to discuss unpopular views from female professors who want to be taken seriously...
It's all society's fault, according to the authors. If only the government were caring enough to provide taxpayer-paid, high-quality day care and preschool, employer-paid maternity and parental leave, and taxpayer-employer-paid health care for all full- and part-time workers, mothers could get out of the "mess," or at least shift the cleanup onto the backs of society.
All these big-government liberals are spreading the lie that American women are massively discriminated against and victims of a "nationwide epidemic" of stress, anxiety, frustrations and depression. Both Warner and Hewlett want socialist Europe to be our model.
These whiners should get a reality check by reading Warren Farrell's new book "Why Men Earn More: The Startling Truth Behind the Pay Gap and What Women Can Do About It."
This well-documented book is the total answer to the feminist complaint that women make only 77 cents for every $1 a man makes (the figure used by Democrat John Kerry in his 2004 presidential campaign). If this were true, then businesses could become much more profitable by hiring mostly women.
Equal pay for equal work has been the law of the land since 1963, and a big federal bureaucracy enforces the law. The average pay of all women tells us nothing about equity for individuals...
Whether a woman chooses home or the workplace, or the "work-life balance" that Warner claims is illusory, victimhood is a dead-end road to a discontent that the government cannot cure." |
