Now SPACE is racist! Woke Colorado astrophysics professor moans her field is riddled with 'white supremacy' and sexism - with colleagues using 'hypermasculine' and 'violent' language to describe the cosmos

A Colorado astrophysicist has claimed her field is steeped in white supremacy and sexism because 'hypermasculine' and 'violent' language is used to describe stars.

Natalie Gosnell, an assistant professor at Colorado College, takes an unconventional approach to physics by comparing stars with humans to turn science into an art.

In an interview with the college newspaper she claimed she has struggled to overcome a division between art and science that is rooted in 'systemic racism

Don’t even mention black holes or dark matter. Dark space matters!

Reminds me of the line in Atlas Shrugged...”The State Science Institute is an Institution without the Science”.

Only on the campus of a college can people be so comfortable and stupid to invent garbage like this.

Natalie Gosnell is a triggered individual, a coward from life, a barren welp of the leftist woke.

An exploration of her gravity well is in order.

She needs to trigger a binary system so she can get her asteroids off.

Then she just might have a chance to be human instead of
being some alien life form.

May already be there. Don’t believe there’s an age threshold.

Masculinity in rockets? Nah. I don’t see it.

From the other article:

The story goes as follows: Two stars are orbiting one another, and just before one is about to die it swells up to hundreds of times its previous size — in doing this, it transfers its mass to its orbiting star. Then the swollen star dies, while the other one shines brighter and bluer than it did before thanks to its companion.

Contemporary journalism views this mass-transfer process through a violent, hyper-masculine lens, seeing as the mass-receiving star has been dubbed “Vampire star” or “Cannibal star.” Gosnell adds they are viewed as the “bad boys” of the universe.

I don't see the problem here. Should the stars be called "bad girls"?

Cutting through her smokescreen of meaningless “woke” jargon, it’s obvious that she doesn’t personally measure up to being a real scientist, so instead of choosing a different profession or improving her own competency she instead attacks science as too objective. She’s only qualified to be a (probably poor) artist, so she’s trying to distort science into the same kind of feelings-based endeavor that art is. Just like a tranny who tries to force the world to reflect his delusion, instead of admitting that he’s wrong, she’s trying to twist science into something that fits her incompetence, instead of just admitting that she’s incompetent.

If this Gal eats her lunch at work, it’s probably all by herself at an almost empty table. Say as little to a person like this as is possible. She is literally looking for issues to complain about. “I felt ostracized, othered!”

Total Bull Schiff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I worked at Keck observatory, for ten years, the largest telescope in the world at the time. Half the astrophysicists were women. They commanded as much if not more respect than many of their male counterparts.

Read the article. She obviously doesn’t know the difference between art and astrophysics.

There’s a high probability of finding a highly dense white dwarf emitting copious amounts of radiation. I suggest borrowing a radiation shield from the good folks down the road at Rocky Flats.
