Rebecca Watson on Women’s Intuition and Other Myths

Rebecca Watson, head of Skepchick.org, one of our favorite sites, gave a talk for the Center for Inquiry, exploring the concept of “intuition” as it is attributed to women, and whether there is actually any real bit of truth in the stereotype that women make up for not being strongly logical, or, you know, intelligent, by having the mysterious power of “women’s intuition.”

Key completely out of context quote:

“It’s like firebombing your vagina.”

Susana Polo thought she'd get her Creative Writing degree from Oberlin, work a crap job, and fake it until she made it into comics. Instead she stumbled into a great job: founding and running this very website (she's Editor at Large now, very fancy). She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
