How could anyone ever be good enough for this movement when all anyone ever does is criticize?
Why bother? There are enough ways to lose your self esteem in this world without being picked apart by sarcastic judgmental women who will never be satisfied with other women.
I tried to reach out to feminism when I was in physics graduate school, but all I got were angry little postmodern lectures on how science is nothing more than a tool of the patriarchy.
Oh yeah, that really helped me. That really fixed all my problems dealing with the hostile climate in my field.
The blogosphere has made it all worse. Huge swaths of Internet bandwidth turned into a broken bottle-strewn wasteland of snarky asides.
And I'm wondering -- with all of this anger towards Larry Summers, how much of it came from women who could have studied science in college, but majored in Angrily Berating American Culture instead?
