The editor of wildly popular Facebook page I Fucking Love Science was recently revealed to be...a woman. Commenting chaos ensued. Of course, sexism and science don't exactly have a great track record. Lest we forget, Watson said the best place for a feminist was in another person's lab.
IFLS helps spread the word about cool science facts in a fun (and easily shared) way: is "popular" science the best way to combat this particular form of sexism and bring more and younger women into science-related fields?

Huh, I thought Watson really thought that the best place for a woman was some place nearby so you could pinch her ideas....

Do you believe women should be respected and not have their human and civil rights violated? Guess what! You're a feminist!

I was about to appreciate that person with the 'I had no idea you are a white person' snark but then I saw the username and moved on with my life.
