Sorry dude. Hope you get you harryparatestes back soon.
So a man never apologizes? A man who apologizes is balless?

More great examples of sexist in this thread.

Yep. When you offend someone, the best thing to do is double down on it, 'cause screw them for having opinions or experiences that differ from yours.

No, but his crying over it was actually kind of embarrassing.

So he's not allowed to have feelings about this? Men cry. It's okay. How you feel about the way he expresses his feelings really doesn't matter.

Sure men cry. Usually over a person or situation that matters personally to them. Not so much over an attempted public shaming by a group of people who have nothing better to do then nitpick over what is on a nerd's shirt.

In this case, I'm going with hell yes. This dude did nothing wrong... Seriously he does something in science that no one has ever done and the feminists focus on a freaken shirt.

Get a life (feminists)

that's the worst of it. instead of talking about what an amazing feat of science this was, we end up talking about how vapid and shrill the femiloons are

I'm a feminist, and I have a life, thanks.

Again: THE SHIRT IS NOT THE ISSUE. THE SHIRT IS A CATALYST.

The discussion people are actually having is about the institutionalized sexism in in some STEM fields. If you're focusing on the shirt then you're willfully and purposely ignoring the actual issue.

I'm focusing on the great achievement and saying no one should be focusing on his shirt. IF you're focusing on the shirt then GET A LIFE!

But since you're saying you're not then I guess that point is moot and we agree that you shouldn't focus on the shirt. So uh...don't.
