Comment of the Day

This is so interesting! I never thought about it before – about how much I choose to eat in front of men or women.

It sounds similar to this RadioLab I heard last year about laughter – about women laugh higher and louder when men are there. Laughter is supposed to be a way of signaling friendliness and vulnerability, so women are more likely to laugh with men. Part of it may be a man’s natural size and strength – that a woman would want to show her friendliness as to not bring on his aggression.

I wonder if this salad deal goes back to evolution somehow, or if it’s a new phenomenon with our more recent ideal of thinness.

    About Me

    I'm a freelance writer and blogger based in Brooklyn, NY. My background is mostly in politics. I've worked on the editorial boards of the New York Sun and New York Post. In 2006, I wrote a book, "The Elephant in the Room: Evangelicals, Libertarians, and the Battle to Control the Republican Party" (Wiley). I've also done my share of freelancing, for places like the Atlantic Monthly, The New York Times, Reason, and RealClearPolitics.

    These days, I'm interested in humanity's ever-expanding understanding of its own irrationality. Hence, this blog.
