There is just not enough Lady Science in the Science part of the forum you bunch of misogynist cunts.

The Constellations Are Sexist.

"In her 1968 poem, “Planetarium,” the poet Adrienne Rich wrestles with the crisis of female identity through the lens of astronomy. Rich wrote the poem after learning about the case of Caroline Herschel, a 19th-century, German-born astronomer who discovered eight comets and three nebulae, and drew praise from the King of Prussia and London’s Royal Astronomical Society. Yet Caroline remained obscure compared with her brother, William, who discovered the planet Uranus."

Good job feminist Dave is here to save the day.

These historical revisionists have a psychiatric impediment & should simply be ignored. If you are on the sidewalk (pavement in English) and a dog is barking at you, do you bark back?

There is a difference between a moderate & reasonable level of social activism and the rabid extremism of the hyper-feminists, hyper-LGBTQ creatures, the closed minded idiocy of hyper-Islamists & other religious nutters.

Far from being at the forefront of intellectual achievement, they are regressive troglodytes; not even aware of the infinity of the Universe & its myriad worlds & civilization who couldn't give a fig about the parochial concerns of backward beings. :coffee:

Astronomy is rife with sexism.
Leila McNeill wrote in an article republished in The Atlantic magazine on Tuesday that the skies are "still filtered through this tradition of mythic misogyny." She said many constellations "named after men tell stories of heroism and conquest," while women are more frequently portrayed as "either monsters or domestic nurturers."

She said ancient Roman and Greek mythology is "deeply misogynistic" because male deities "rein with unlimited power while their female counterparts suffer violence and humiliation." McNeill also claimed modern-day astronomers who draw on this tradition to name celestial bodies and spacecraft contribute to a "scientific culture that diminishes the achievements of women."

"Male astronomers, when they look at the sky, can find more uplifting role models," wrote McNeill. "Simply giving more celestial bodies female names is not the solution. Rather, change must begin with the recognition that astronomy's self-image is built upon an age-old habit of telling stories about the abuse of women."

The patriarchy is at it again.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

I reckon you live in your mum's basement and get absolutely no sex at all. That's why you are such a whiney bitch.
