Post 177868 by thirdring deleted for the following reason: Sorry, but this kind of "personal editorial voice" plus jokey, plus "ooh, scary!" framing isn't really the best way to present a science news story.

Post 177600 by valetta deleted for the following reason: Heya, sorry, these kind of slim articles based on "untranslateability" between cultures are well/lightly-intended but often end up with fighting and alienation, which is, i'm very sure, not what was aimed for here -- LobsterMitten

Post 177460 by BiggerJ deleted for the following reason: We're keeping US politics-related threads relatively corralled instead of splitting/repeating discussion among dozens of posts, and this one doesn't seem like a great reason to make an exception, especially with the "sorry about the sexism" aspect, so maybe post in the politics thread or wait until the upcoming election thread. Thanks. -- taz
