The women of Popular Science are not working today - Here's Why
Popular Science ^ | 3/8/2017 | Popular Science Staff

Posted on 03/09/2017 1:00:17 PM PST by Buffalo Bob

You may notice that our website is looking a little light today. We’d like to explain. Today is "A Day Without a Woman," a general strike for women's rights and equality—so many of the women of PopSci aren't working.

And that means the website is going to be pretty quiet: While we get an awful lot of emails assuming we're a bunch of "sirs," the majority of the staff here is female.

Peace, polymuser,

If you are putting Bill Nye the Lying Guy on your cover for any reason except to ridicule him, then I am not reading your publication. Nye is a schill for the climate change globalists and doesn't even follow his own credo of "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof."

They offer this subscription free through various freebie mag websites. They are only interested in having a certain amount of subscribers (whether they pay or not) to get their ad revenue. That is pretty much all that matters with a large percentage of magazines now.

I read Pop Science in Doctor’s office etc. So I cannot cancel a subscription.

I *tried* to read it in the doctor's office recently but it's gone so far Left-Liberal it's not even worth the effort there.

My female co-workers, as well as those of my wife, all showed up; even the demonstration in NYC on the news last night started after everyone got out of work. The “event” was a major flop...

Besides, “Dear Sirs:” is a proper salutation when corresponding with a business and not an individual whose name you know.

I’ve been a subscriber for probably 50 years. My current subscription ends in 2018 and I will not renew because the magazine has become way too Liberal.

Had a subscription for many decades, even long after their politicalization phase first started. The last straw was their nasty condescension towards AGW "deniers".

They still send me "we want you back!" mailings about once a year. Ain't happening.

So when you guys get back to work maybe you can find the answer about when women spend a lot of time together.

Is it scientific fact, science fiction or a myth that when you girls spend a lot of time together you eventually all start you periods on the same day?

I want women to do a week without men’s inventions.

Like doing without a bra? There is an urban legend that the bra was invented by a man named Otto Titzling ("tit sling"). (Completely false, but maybe a man invented them.)

Correct. It’s not popular and it’s not science.

Wondered why the mag had gone downhill over the years. This explains a lot.

You are missing my point. The boss says take tomorrow off. I take that day off.

Do really think SJW’s care about the business?
