ladies

Do you have days when you want to be an ass-kicking over-educated Nature-paper-publishing scientist (or other "non-traditional" field) beast, and others when you just want to bake cupcakes and squeeze babies and shop at anthropologie?  Here is some reading material and food for thought for the ladies:

Why I can't stop reading Mormon housewife blogs
- a feminist atheist with a guilty pleasure I can relate to.

I Choose My Choice! by Sandra Tsing Loh.  An awesome article about the fruits of the feminist revolution.  (She's my girl and fellow Caltech alumna with a diploma made entirely of partial credit.)

I actually really enjoyed that first article. I didn't know that those kind of blogs had an audience! ha ha. I am all for the ladies in science! It is so awesome that it's become acceptable in society. I loved my year as an engineer...but I sure love squeezing my baby's chubby little cheeks and baking cupcakes too. :)
