For three years jedi knights tolerated questions about the Force and everything from a young she-padawan. Until they realised she can't spell "42".

Dudes, seriously, does anyone of you want to be treated like monkey tribe? Even if it is anonymous?

I love the idea that being studied is what happens only to monkeys. Too, the gratuitous sexism and totally unfounded sense of elite entitlement. Yes, ommunist, you are most certainly deserving of study.

Imagine the anthropologist studying American human female reactions on preinstalled social prejudice.

I am just promoting the understanding of sex differences to enhance equity and excellence in social science.

The article is kinda ridiculous, but why are you bringing gender into this discussion? It is irrelevant.

I am also bringing the Force. It is also irrelevant.

I saw that this interview was written about a woman and I knew comments like those were coming. HN is greatly disappointing to me sometimes :(

It does sound a little bit like Dogbert doing his "Engineers in the Mist".
