This was my favorite part: “If a woman is hungry or is worried about a bomb falling from the sky due to poor foreign policy, birth control is really the last thing on her mind.” I know a number of women in the mountains of Nicaragua who can tell them a thing or two about poverty, war, and how much they very much want… Read more

Not only did Hunt say completely reprehensible things, but he couldn’t even figure out that you don’t tell a room full of female scientists at a professional conference that they are lovesick crybabies. This is not a guy who should be in charge of anything. Read more
