Sexism in Physics

Post by thibodeaux »

Blah blah, mean, sexist, unacceptable

At a workshop organised by Cern, Prof Alessandro Strumia of Pisa University said that "physics was invented and built by men, it's not by invitation".

He said male scientists were being discriminated against because of ideology rather than merit.
The best part though:
In 2015, Nobel laureate Prof Tim Hunt resigned from his position at University College London after telling an audience of young female scientists at a conference in South Korea that the "trouble with girls" in labs was that "when you criticise them they cry".
"[Prof Strumia's talk] was really upsetting to those at the workshop," she said.
