Comment on Women in STEM

• finitebanjo@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  Okay, how was the truth stretched here?

  Payne was credited by Russel, who is not the one who told her not to publish, and she became a Department Chair.

  Josselyn Bell actually argued against the point of this meme in her own words decades ago.

  Lisa Meitner said Otto deserved that Nobel Prize.

  Franklin might have recieved the prize in person if she were alive at the time (dead people do not qualify to recieve it).

  It should be 50%

  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.

    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.
