So true, it's amazing what effect the mind has on how you see!

At the risk of over simplifying matters, what do you expect from people who see the world in black and white. Many of the feminists who say this (the third generation feminists with a cacophony of radical ideologies) read very specific material, mostly of the blogs variety, and live in their own bubble where their own reading material and friends reflect only their views. Add to this that difference of opinion and reflection are not entertained, this would imply that you have less than total belief in articles of faith and leaves you open to labels that are often applied to heathens. All that can be done with these people is to not get offended by them and let them work out for them selves why things are not always so black and white.

Sounds fantastic, but I'm sure it's not. If you made billions on a product such as did Xerox you'd be keen to fully investigate a technology that threatens to supplant your bread and butter product, fear will drive you to do this. Once the product has been developed you will look at it and say "Product X has a return of y, while there are zero customers for this newfangled product", this is more than enough for the board to reject the new idea, many of them think the new technology is just a passing fad anyway.

Physicists have succeeded in confirming one of the theoretical aspects of quantum physics: Subatomic objects switch between particle and wave states when observed, while remaining in a dual state beforehand. Now, Dr. Andrew Truscott of the Australian National University has reported the same thing in Nature Physics, but this time using a helium atom, rather than a photon.
