1 small shirt for a man, 1 giant leap backward for women
So how are things going for feminism? Well, last week, some feminists took one of the great achievements of human history — landing a probe from Earth on a comet hundreds of millions of miles away — and made it all about the clothes.
Yes, that’s right. After years of effort, the European Space Agency’s lander Philaelanded on a comet 300 million miles away. At first, people were excited. Then some women noticed that one of the space scientists, Matt Taylor, was wearing a shirt, made for him by a female “close pal,” featuring comic-book depictions of semi-naked women. And suddenly, the triumph of the comet landing was drowned out by shouts of feminist outrage about … what people were wearing. It was one small shirt for a man, one giant leap backward for womankind.
The Atlantic’s Rose Eveleth tweeted, “No no women are toooootally welcome in our community, just ask the dude in this shirt.” Astrophysicist Katie Mack commented: “I don’t care what scientists wear. But a shirt featuring women in lingerie isn’t appropriate for a broadcast if you care about women in STEM.” And from there, the online feminist lynch mob took off until Taylor was forced to deliver a tearful apology on camera.
It seems to me that if you care about women in STEM, maybe you shouldn’t want to communicate the notion that they’re so delicate that they can’t handle pictures of comic-book women. Will we stock our Mars spacecraft with fainting couches?
No, Glenn, we can forgo the fainting couches as long as we keep these puerile females out of places were adults are working.
the shameful incident this week, in which the despicable Rose Eveleth at the Atlantic bullied Dr. Matt Taylor into apologizing, in tears, for wearing a shirt with women with rayguns on it.
Rose Eveleth is the fluffer who wrote the piece about Lekie and science fiction starting to give awards to women in SF again, in response to which I wrote this. […]
Why a woman who can’t even do her own research for her own articles should be allowed to bully a man who as part of a team (incidentally led by a woman) landed on a comet is beyond me. Or rather it isn’t. It’s a symptom of the sickness in our society.
The sickness can be defined as this: we are trying to remake women into men, and in the process we castrate men and we release profoundly wounded women out into society, who think they should be what they cannot be and therefore lash out at all and sundry from a core of hatred inside them. And society aids and abets them, due to the bizarre idea that men and women should be exactly alike and equally represented in all endeavors or society is “sexist.”
I’m going to say it once and for all – men and women are different. They were subjected to different evolutionary pressures.
Note I didn’t say one is better and the other worse. That is where we’ve gone all batty, because the feminists say women are better and prove this by trying to make women like men.
Time pulled “feminism” from the poll because it was winning by a landslide.

If feminists really wanted to celebrate feminism, they’d celebrate childbirth, menses, and the kitchen arts.
But those things don’t permit you to bully an entire society, so they had to push men aside to get the power, the power, THE POWER!
A foolish society displaces men from their roles to make room for women, while neglecting what women were doing in the first place.
Of course women can do what men can, in the workplace. But if men have no man-space to occupy as men, they’ll eventually say “screw it” and turn their distinctive masculine energy toward destruction, whereas before it built skyscrapers, spanned a continent with railroads, and put footprints on the moon.
I’m sorry that Dr. Taylor felt compelled to apologize, as if the achievement of him and his team is the functional equivalent of the Academy Award Red Carpet complete with its own Joan Rivers making catty remarks about the actresses’ attire. What he should have said at the follow-up presser (while wearing the shirt):
“I’ll change shirts when Ms. Eveleth can master the physics necessary to hit a moving bullet with a moving BB from a 10 miles away.”
Maybe they should start.
If “clothes make the man”, perhaps a little more confidence and backbone is in order…
I’m more disturbed with Taylor’s “tearful apology” than at the feminazis who performed just as expected. Until there’s immediate pushback against these overzealous watchdogs against any hint of heteropatriarchy, these overreactions will continue.
Had it been me? I’d have invited Rose and Katie over to view my ‘space titties’ collection.

Paleo,
She probably got a ‘d’ in intro to bonehead math and never went further. Remember the liberal motto ‘Math is hard.’ If you asked her about imaginary numbers she would tell you how much more she should make as a ‘professional’ writer, because she is underpaid as a woymn.
“She doesn’t like my shirt? Tough. Last time I took it off for a woman I got a restraining order. I ain’t falling for that one twice.”
“I was totally going to be a scientist after being inspired by the monumental achievement of landing that probe on a moving target 300 million miles away. But then I saw that tacky shirt dude was wearing so I’m out.”
If “clothes make the man”, perhaps a little more confidence and backbone is in order…
For every proverb, there is a counter-proverb, e.g., “you can’t judge a book by its cover”.
Of course, you can always have it both ways with one of these fine shirts.
Like pornography I know what a SJW looks like when I see one, but I’m struggling to come up with a concise definition. This is what I’m using so far:
1) “Someone who thinks that her ( and it’s usually a her her) feelings are the organizing principle of the Universe, and must therefore be central to everyone’s thought and actions”
2) ” A whiny asshole”
A woman bitching about someone’s garments? Sheee-it, they got whole TV channels devoted to it.
A grown man crying over a woman bitching about his shirt? THAT’S what is disgraceful about this story.
Of course women can do what men can, in the workplace.
Horseshit.
Well, I guess if you hire twice as many of ’em, like they do to prove women can be firefighters.
OT, but a variety of disjointed stories about the Islamic State moojies have caused me to foresee a Bolshevik trajectory.
A recent headline has them making a pact of sorts with a faction of al Qaeda. Am I the only one who expects this AQ faction’s leaders to find themselves under the sword before long?
That’s what Lenin and his bunch did in Russia — hook up with other revolutionary groups to achieve power, then kill them all off to avoid having to share power.
This shirtstorm might be a tipping point, in which political correctness mavens are given to pause before mindlessly spewing unwarranted venom?

We can only hope.
Pshaw. Political correctness was born mad.

I was listening to the Beeb at breakfast the other morning when the probe attempted to anchor to the comet. I heard the newsreader say “…the space harpoons have failed…”. Thank heaven I have lived long enough to hear that sentence spoken in real life.
After The West’s failure to follow-up Apollo, I never thought I’d live long enough to hear that either, SW.
Intent, divined by the accusers, pre-censor your words. Gosh, these new concepts just keep popping up outta nowhere.
Link. sorry.
