Comment on Women in STEM

  So, how about you go ahead and do the math on how long it took for that to finally happen for each of these women? And when you’re done not bothering to do that, go ahead and admit that you wouldn’t be pissed at all if your hard work and lifetime of research and sacrifice was credited to someone else- and not corrected until you’re long dead.

  Because I’ll be waiting here to call you a liar.

    Do you have quotes on these women being infuriated? Jocelyn Bell shut down tabloids who insinuated she wasn’t credited, and Payne was cited by Russel as “the most important research” after a different person, her advisor, told her not to rock the boat on her thesis project. Payne became a department chairwoman some years later.

    I agree, it’s infuriating.
