Gender-laden Tuesday evening roundup

Get angry about the story and then get angrier about the comments. My personal favorite is, "when will women learn about life?" Consider all that in light of this video:
As committed as I am to non-violence, I've always wanted to punch people who tell me to smile. Now I know why. 

Do you detect a theme yet? (Some) guys trying to keep us in "our" place, perhaps? On that note, the facts behind the female-breadwinner meta-analyses. And an article about how focusing on women's shoes and purses detracts from their credibility.

Here's a refresher on the environmental impact of livestock:

More meat on the market in general means more pollution — both through greenhouse gas emissions (from fertilizer production, machinery, and the animals themselves) and the nitrogen- (or manure-) rich runoff from confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) that creates water pollution and oxygen-starved deadzones.

and

On average, 70 percent of the freshwater we use on the planet goes toward agricultural production.  And meat is some of the most water-intensive food to produce, requiring almost 1,800 gallons to make just 1 pound of beef; nearly 575 gallons per pound of pork; and 470 gallons per pound of chicken. Most of that water is used to irrigate crops that feed the animals. A smaller portion is used in troughs to quench their thirst and to clean up bloody messes in slaughterhouses.

and

“The math is simple; producing meat requires a lot of water,” says Robert Lawrence, a professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and a Meatless Monday adviser. “The conversion of feed to meat is inefficient: about 7:1 for beef, 5:1 for pork, and 2.5:1 for poultry.

Here are some cool underwater photos, Mars photos, and microscope photos.

Here's a really stupid study about babies' preference for "unattractive" people.

F***. I left my phone at work. And I have to go.
