- A New Frontier for Title IX: Science - John Tierney, NYT (requires registration). Esteemed national organizations shoulder the burden of affirming whether the so-named title has being applied within select disciplines. Once again, answers and opinions are provided without indication of means for independent verification. Several responses inevitably followed.
- Women In Science - extra edition - FemaleScienceProfessor. A description of some experiences of being a scientist and a woman.
- Teh Laydeez Jus Don Liek Teh Scienz - PhysioProf, at Feministe. - A more thorough analysis is difficult to conceive.
- Women and Technology: The Ugly Truth - Sylvia Ann Hewlett, via Evelyn Brister. Wherein one may read of the reasons women terminate their employment within science and technology fields.
- Male Scientist Writes of Life as Female Scientist - Shankar Vedantam, Washington Post. The classic tale of gendered life as experienced by a single individual.
- Feminism and the X-Files (My Ode to Dana Scully) - by Starzki6 in Feministing's community forum. On a final and positive note, an admirably precise compendium of five true and sufficient rationales for admiration or our lady of skepticism.

I still think that any intellectual dishonesty is his. The question of why women are not happy studying science or in science/tech jobs is a problem of ranking the relative importance of a number of different reasons. Sure, some people just don't like science. But Tierney discounts the ways in which women are made to feel unwelcome or are not given access to the same resources. I would say that the same thing happens in the discipline of philosophy. But since philosophy is so much smaller and less economically important, who cares about us?
