Lol OT might like this gem;
Some people are studying whether people prepare less for hurricanes if it has a female rather than male name.

"Female-named hurricanes are far deadlier than male-named ones, according to the 2014 study published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
How is that possible? Sexism, and more specifically the stereotypical perceptions often held on the basis of gender, according to the study."
That's right, people are funding the study of naming hurricanes and the effect it has on preparation levels. Only in academia can a baby be genderless but a 'female storm' signal sexism.
