“Women do not speak with one voice. We don’t all want the same things.” One of the things that Kimberly Probolus wants? Feminist listening.

Consider this experiment: The United States is preparing for an outbreak that would kill 600 people. There’s a treatment that would save 200 people, or one that has a 33 percent chance of saving all 600 but a 67 percent chance of saving none. Which would you choose? |
