[UPDATE: I'm reliably informed that it's possible to listen via the 4BC website].

I’ll be discussing the widely reported phenomenon — often debated among skeptics and historians — that women seem to be more vulnerable to woo, including woo that’s downright dangerous (the anti-vaccine people) and woo that’s downright oppressive (Islam, Christianity).

Of course, I’m alert to the reality that data is not the plural of anecdote, and that history — until you hit the mid-19th century — is often wholly anecdotal, at least in aggregate. Of course I’m also hoping it’ll be reasonably interesting for readers of this blog and 4BC listeners, too.
