I don't care if you landed a spacecraft on a comet, your shirt is sexist

Sex sells and women know it. They use it in subtle and not so subtle ways to get ahead in today's society. I see it every single day in almost all industries. Should we also put a stop to this?

"They hear comments about "bitches" while out at a bar with fellow science students"

I also overhear women talking about their "asshole" boyfriends. Should we police their words as well? After all, we are talking about equality, right?

"and they decide to change majors"

I would really like them to interview an actual woman that changed majors because they heard a bunch of fellow students talking about "bitches". I really don't think they will find any.

"Those are the few who persevered even when they were discouraged from pursuing degrees in physics, chemistry, and math throughout high school"

I'm not that old and I went to public schools in a fairly conservative city. The top achievers in my physics and math classes were women. They were also encouraged to go to college. I'm not saying discouragement doesn't happen, but we aren't living in the 1950s anymore and it's not as prevalent as this article would like everyone to believe.

"These are the women who forged on despite the fact that they were told by elementary school classmates and the media at large that girls who like science are nerdy and unattractive"

Any man that loves science has always been told they were nerdy, geeky, and many women won't date them because they think they are "boring". I should know, I was subjected to to it. Just look at movies and TV. It's still portrayed in the media today. Women aren't being singled out.

"This is the climate women who dream of working at NASA or the ESA come up against, every single day"

This person isn't hostile or mean towards women. He is simply wearing a t-shirt.

If you think women don't have power in this country, just look at the divorce laws. 9/10 men get everything they have worked for taken away from them, even if the woman cheated. I've seen this happen many, many times, so I know it's a problem. Yet, nobody wants to talk about it or do anything about it. If you try to go against it, you will be labeled a woman-hater and silenced.

We landed on a Comet..and all the verge has to talk about is someone's fucking wardrobe choice? They guy was probably up all night and threw the shirt on in a rush.

'misogyny' is one of those words thrown around, like 'racist', to immediately discredit someone's opinion before they have a chance to speak.

I probably won't read the verge anymore after this garbage article.
