newscience commented on Couple's First Kiss Happened At The Altar
"My mom, a self-proclaimed feminist in the 70's, actually told me once when I told her I was dating this guy: "he won't buy the cow if you're giving away the milk for free." Gosh, look at the time, is it 1850 already?"

newscience commented on Why Sexist Larry Summers Shouldn't Get A Cabinet Slot
"Also, Ben Barres often points out the flaw in the assumption that higher IQ correlates positively with "successful scientist." In fact, this correlation does not necessarily hold true at the high end of the IQ spectrum."

newscience commented on Why Sexist Larry Summers Shouldn't Get A Cabinet Slot
"What's most poisonous about Summers is that his ideas seemed to resonate in the scientific community- predominately among some other male scientists (I've looking at you, Steven Pinker)."

newscience commented on The "Yes On Prop 8" intolerants
"I contemplated facebook defriending the only Mormon woman I know last night, not after all of her status updates instructing people to "Vote Yes on Prop 8!" (though they increased my blood pressure, for sure), but after she posted an official LDS article about how it passed, with the comment: "please understand and stop calling us bigots." Please understand?!"
