Female scientists were jumping on Twitter on Thursday to voice their views on the controversial comments by a Nobel Prize-winning British scientist, who spoke about his "trouble with girls" when working in laboratories.

Female scientists lampooned his sexist remarks, using the hashtag #distractinglysexy, which for anyone following the thread was distractingly funny.

Yes I know I am #distractinglysexy in my Level A PPE. The suit totally flatters my curves.
This is now up in our lab! Watch out :) #TimHunt #distractinglysexy
Filter mask protects me from hazardous chemicals and muffles my woman cries. Double win! #DistractinglySexy
Far too #distractinglysexy while decommissioning these mobile VSAT units.Cutting torch is excellent for drying tears.
In the field because I'm too #distractinglysexy for the lab. Took ages to find a pic where I'm not crying #TimHunt

Idk how any men were able to function when I was in this bunny suit and integrating a satellite. #distractinglysexy
Which one had the Nobel prize? Oh the dude that dared to speak his mind and was forced out, natch.
Hedy Lamarr, a Hollywood actress known for her good looks and classic come-hither bedroom gaze, also played a key role in developing cell phone technology widely used today.
Born 100 years ago today [Nov 9, 2014] in Vienna, the actress made a lesser-known contribution to wireless communication when she tried to defuse a potential military threat during World War II. To prevent remote-controlled torpedoes from being hijacked, she helped develop an early version of spread spectrum communication, which is part of the basis for wireless technologies such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

BOOKMARKING FOR LATER
I’d like to violate her patent! :o)
That's "Hedley ..."
Wasn’t she a territorial governor, too?
I’ve seen girls cry in the lab. Its not uncommon for some to admit they cry when they get home. Seen plenty of lab romances, some work some dont. Its really not that big a deal.
Don't know. Could you perhaps be confusing her with this person?
"Yes Janet. A quiet, shy girl. An honours graduate from Harvard University, American junior sprint record holder, ex-world skating champion, Nobel Prize winner, architect, novelist and surgeon. The girl who helped crack the Oppenheimer spy ring in 1947. She gave vital evidence to the Senate Narcotics Commission in 1958. ..."

Hotter looking than burkas...I reckon.
Good for them.
I knew right away there were two options:
1. Prove him wrong.
2. Go batshit crazy attacking the messenger (and his career) and prove him right.
These girls are choosing option 1.
95% of the women I’ve worked with in science/engineering have been graded, paid and promoted far beyond what they deserved. They flirt with and then extort help from their male colleagues. They drag down the groups they join. Their major contribution is in the political correctness numbers game. Having a woman or other token helps deflect witch hunts for “privilege”.
I know some women who kick scientific butt, but even they are unfairly advantaged. I’ve watched “B” average female engineering students get the full court job recruitment process that only a few top “A” average male engineering students get. When the rare, scientifically talented female comes along, they are treated like rock stars.
What is particularly hurtful is that women are more often promoted to higher paying administrative positions because they are incompetent in their technical positions (Peter Principle).
And they wonder why there are too few people going into science (Gresham’s law).
Carol Cleveland of Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Quite a looker! Spent a good deal of her youth in the U.S. as her dad was some sort of British military attache who was a liason to their American allies.
She even won a Teen Miss pageant on California.
And a tremendously good sport....those guys put her through everything on that show!
Well that settles it!
