Nowadays many educated people treat reinforcement theory as if it were something not terribly important that they have known and understood all along. In fact most people don’t understand it, or they would not behave so badly to the people around them.
Above that is Megan McArdle, and the highest quote I saw that was probably by a woman was this one (I didn’t look in to whether or not that Ashley is female), and this is the highest one I saw I’m pretty confident was by a woman.
