The Amazing Meeting 8 – Day 1 Thursday Skepticism And Feminism
Well I was hoping to do these blog posts during the convention but we were so busy having a great time and joining all of our friends that they had to wait. You can see the first post here. We are in the airport now and the free wi-fi has allowed me to do this post. I will have more over the next several days – so please check back.
On Thursday afternoon the Perfect Wife and I went to a session on Skepticism and Feminism. This event was run by the Skepchicks. The skepchick ring leader is Rebecca Watson (left). We talked about feminism issues and how they relate to skepticism. We divided into small groups of about 10 for further discussion and to do “arts and crafts”. We were all asked to make…
Angry Vaginas!
They handed out red, pink and white felt and an assortment of crafty materials and asked us to get to work. They showed us their sample – It had razor sharp teeth. Yikes!

A little later in the session, I started talking about my blog to this lady next to me. She seemed interested in the blog so I gave her the web address. She continued to ask what topics I covered and said that I cover some of the same stuff as PZ Myers with some posts about investments from time to time. I asked if she knew PZ. She said something like, “know him? I’m his wife.”
DOH!
Must learn to read name tags!
I wanted to crawl under a rock. However, she was wonderful about it. We were able to talk several times during the weekend and I can see why PZ calls her the Trophy Wife. It was a great joy to meet here and have some amazing conversations.
