I’m apolitical, as far as anyone knows. I’m a book editor and essayist. It’s my job to be excruciatingly neutral.

My theory is it’s a failing of education. Most people’s last science class was in high school, and they were barely paying attention. Know how many men don’t know what a fallopian tube is or how menstruation and birth work? πŸ™ˆ Great discussion, @jamiezvirzdin.bsky.social !
