Women in STEM
(mander.xyz)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Okay, how was the truth stretched here?
It should be 50%.
Payne was credited by Russel, who is not the one who told her not to publish, and she became a Department Chair later in life.
Josselyn Bell actually argued against the point of this meme in her own words decades ago.
Lisa Meitner said Otto deserved that Nobel Prize. Meitner is heavily immortalized.
Franklin might have recieved the prize in person if she were alive at the time (dead people do not qualify to recieve it).
Then ask women to enter stem, you and I do not have the authority to force them to do anything they don't want to do.
And btw you're fucking lucky I took the time to write this up for you, since its easier to manufacture bullshit than refute it most educated people don't even waste time doing it.
bullshit will fly around the world while the truth is still putting on its boots
Why should it be 50%?
For the same reason 50% of mechanics should be women.
Equality.
That's not equality. Equality is that you have the same rights, possibilities, opportunities etc. Not that the outcome is the same.
Equality of outcome is bullshit. Everyone should be free to choose what they want to do in life.
