Seriously, I'd never heard of the Science Babe before until I read this article. Unfortunately, I had heard of the Food Babe. This article is a critique of the Food Babe and the crap she peddles. I love the Science Babe's no nonsense style:

Vani Hari, AKA the Food Babe, has amassed a loyal following in her Food Babe Army. The recent subject of profiles and interviews in the New York Times, the New York Post and New York Magazine, Hari implores her soldiers to petition food companies to change their formulas. She's also written a bestselling book telling you that you can change your life in 21 days by "breaking free of the hidden toxins in your life." She and her army are out to change the world.

She's also utterly full of shit.

I think I'm going to bookmark the Science Babe's website.
 
Old fashioned cat fight? It's on the internet, how can it be old fashioned??
 
What makes it a "cat fight" anyway?

Two people disagree. Do you call any disagreement between two men an "old fashioned penis size comparison"? prolly not.
 
No, I have never called a man-man disagreement an "old fashioned penis size comparison". Feel free to go back to your Tumblr SJW buddies and tell them you heard a sexist comment on the internet. When the torches-&-pitchfork crowd show up at my house tell them to keep it quiet after 10 pm. Homeowners association rules and all that.

Yeah, i understand it is hard to be caught in the act of being an old slimey sexist, but why do you have to make it worse with belittlements like this?

Oh, the persecution complex is strong in this one.

You posted an interesting link because you liked it, but somehow found it necessary to throw in a sexist remark. I commented that the remark was rather unnecessary. You can ignore my comment, you can admit that it was unnecessary, or you can make a massive fool of yourself by fantasising about pitchforks and torches. Your choice, really.

I sometimes refer to such conflict as "a pissing contest." But typically that's dismissive. The two involved are not fighting over the merits of the topic but fighting for the sake of precedence.

Madonna's character in Die Another Day referred to it as a cockfight. Again, dismissive. Not a test of skills or of honor, just men swinging their dicks.

Similarly, i'd expect a 'catfight' to be dismissive. That neither woman has the better argument, just hoping they get disheveled and maybe we'll see a wardrobe malfunction....

:facepalm: Dude, read the very first word in my post. It's "Seriously". Which is a comment meant to note that the title of the thread was tongue in cheek. Second of all, for some reason you haven't noticed the most glaring sexism in the whole thing. Both of these women refer to themselves as "babes", which is another way of saying "hot chicks". What does either of their looks have to do with the content of their message? Wouldn't you say they're both guilty of promoting sexism? If I went to see a serious lecture on science by a very attractive woman and said first thing "Woah, what a babe!!" I'd get a lot of dirty looks, and maybe a few condescending lectures about how women are just looked at as sex objects and not appreciated for their brains. Or maybe both these women are being a little lighthearted and goofy (like me) and people these days get their panties in a bunch just a little too often.

Ok, you choose to make a fool of yourself.

Fine with me.
