It's Friday, and that means it's time for another links roundup! Here's what we've been reading this week:

• Fifty years after Silent Spring was published, Amanda Hess argues that science is still sexist. [Slate]
• We doubt you have the stomach for an Ann Coulter video, but just in case... "Ann Coulter Tries To Tell Whoopi Goldberg How Black People Feel About Things. It Does Not Go Well." [Upworthy]
• Did you read that story about the Sikh woman and the reddit user who made fun of her and then apologized? You should. It will (temporarily) restore your faith in the Internet. [Feministing/Jezebel]
