The science Nobel prizes are outrageously misogynist. In the last few years, they are finally giving it to actual female scientist because they can no longer suppress women researchers without facing a single criticism, unlike the past. Cecilia Payne, Chien-Shiung Wu, Vera Rubin got treated like shit.

By "generally legitimate" I just mean that they're awarded to scientists for real things, as opposed to, like, giving the medical prize to RFK Jr. It's still a shit institution.
