Is our children learning?
And more importantly, what is they learning?
I was shopping for a new head for Raoul when I came across a terrifying place called einsteins-emporium.com, “The Internet’s Largest Science and Nature Store.” Please, god, don’t let it be true.
So, does that mean that a biography is the story of two people’s lives? Or is it perhaps the story of a bisexual’s life? Are biologists bisexuals?
Oh, that’s why they’re called zoologists! ‘Cause they take care of the animals in the zoo!
Who wrote this shit? Are they Creationists? Are they Republicans?
They’re definitely sexists, ’cause that crap is all over the site:
So was Thales just a pre-Socratic punk band?
Never mind — let’s just thank our lucky stars that men are still asking all those science-y questions. Cause we women are too busy getting our hair done.
Gee, I wonder if there’s a branch of science that deals with gender-neutral language? Probably not, since the great men of science have assured us that something as ephemeral as language has no impact whatsoever on man’s attitude to the world around him. Science is open to all men! Normal men, female men — everybody!

Sorry to double post, but seriously! They see “biology” and don’t see “bio” + “ology”= “life” + “study of”?? They see “bi” and what?
C’mon. I have little more than a high school education and I’m not that ignorant.

It’s no crime to be unschooled in these things, but what bothers me is that this is apparently a big outfit, a big supplier, and kids are going to this store. It’s just whacked.

It really annoys me when people say, “It’s just easier to say mankind, and that includes women anyway.” But studies show when you say “Man” people think of men. Like it’s so hard to say “humankind” and “people.”
