Nuff said.

“Not even close. She did do the best X-ray crystalography on it, up to that time. She did not work and play well with others, and looked, sounded, and had a personality very much like Ayn Rand. Watson detested her, but stole her data when she refused all collaboration with anybody. That data was only one small part of the puzzle, and Watson made a leap with it which Franklin would never have been able to make, even if she knew all the other stuff, which she didn’t.

Possibly she would have shared a Nobel in chem if she hadn’t died early. Read the Wiki for DNA (history part) and for Franklin herself, which is sympathetic. And for Heavensake read the Double Helix— one of the greatest and most honest books about doing science ever written.”

I’ve also heard mention from a few people now that Albert was a very abusive husband. So a picture is emerging of a man that beat his wife and stold her work. Some hero.

But notice how Einstein’s IQ and work was just accepted and not questioned? Compare that to how Marilyn vos Savant is treated. Marilyn has the highest IQ ever recorded in history. And the boys just won’t stand for it. They spend countless hours trying to discredit her. “It just can’t be!” the boys cry. It is, after all, men’s divine right to lord over women. God says so!

Little wonder women have been denied education over the millenia. If you can’t beat ‘em, just eliminate them from the competition! What a splendid way to shore up male superiority! If women can’t read and write, they can’t compete and they can’t record history! Throw into the fray that women couldn’t inherit or own property (which would include patents), couldn’t keep their wages (it went to the nearest male relative), own a bank account, let alone vote and voila! Instant male superiority! Just add water and stir.

Of course, in recent relative history, these bans have been lifted on many women globally (tho many still remain under the ban). I guess the boys were confident that they had all their ducks in a row and had done enough to keep women out of the competition. But more than likely, they started believing their own lies. Despite milleniums of oppression, double standards and sexism, women not only caught up to men academically, but surpassed them in just a few short decades. Porn, sex work, rape and violence against women rise in direct proportion to women’s gains and progress. And so does war.
