| There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff – we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. If everyone who saw this today donated $5, we would meet our goal for 2019. |
Fighting pseudoscience isn't free. We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $20 or whatever you can today with |

I'm just not seeing Povitch's "teeming".
In fact, she herself denies your very position. http://jezebel.com/5941690/former-newsweek-revolutionary-lynn-povitch-says-that-workplace-gender-equality-still-has-a-long-way-to-go
Well, TVM for all the research. I think "denies" is a little strong as a descriptor of that Jezebel piece, but I take your point.
But anyway, we're not going to get anywhere with this. I can see, if I cared to take you on, stretching into my future an endless series of...
"I'll see your Leslie Moonves (Pres. CBS News) and raise you a Deborah Turness (Pres. NBC News)"
"I'll see your Tony Hall (BBC DG) and raise you a Helen Boaden (Dir BBC tv)"
"I'll see your Gary Barber (CEO MGM) and raise you an Amy Pascal (co-chairman Sony Pictures Entertainment)"
...and on and on. So I resign.
