Theory three — anecdotes are not evidence.
Maureen Dowd was pushing this lamebrain idea about female whistleblowers awhile ago. It actually makes a lot of sense provided you ignore male whistle blowers. Plus it is a lot more fun to turn out hackneyed theories based on limited evidence than do a Google search for whistleblowers.
But it makes little more sense than if I went through and assembled a few anecdotes from the past year about mothers who murdered their children and then wondered aloud why women are so darn violent.
