I’ve been into several Borders and Barnes & Noble bookstores this past month, mostly browsing the magazines. I am appalled that in several (but to be fair, not all) of them, science magazines are shelved in the “Men’s Interest” section, right next to Maxim and Stuff. I know this is the case for the Borders in Ithaca, NY. I’d love to hear if this is the case for stores around other people as well. Do you think we could find a way to make it more uncomfortable for a teenage girl to pick up a copy of Scientific American or Discover?
