Quote of the Day

"Dr. Rowlands says—echoing a chorus of men before him—when it comes to women, there's a great deal that sports scientists 'just don't understand'."Gretchen Reynolds, in the New York Times, in a piece observing that pretending there's a default human body from which all understanding of other human bodies can be extrapolated doesn't work out all that well, as it turns out.

The "joke" about men bemoaning the mysteriousness of women was as unnecessary as it was apparently irresistible.
