The best article we’ve read about this matter. I completed a science degree in 1979, and I’ve recently been considering taking out a subscription to New Scientist. After reading this piece, and another of William’s pieces about the magazine, I won’t bother.
Thirty years ago I used to read The Guardian, The Observer and the New Statesman but I gave them all up, more than twenty years ago, when I saw how puerile and spiteful they had become, and much of my contempt was for the infantile rubbish written by women on the staffs of those publications.
