Tuesday assorted links

1. “…differences in shopping styles between women and men are greater in higher-gender-equality countries than in lower-gender-equality countries.”

2. How to talk to a racist.  Yes, comments are still closed.

3. Chinese sex doll factory in photos.  This link is most definitely not recommended.

4. “The range of conceptual alternatives to quantum mechanics has again been shrunk, been pushed back into a corner.”  (Take that Bryan Caplan!)

5. The brain drain from northern England.
