...to be accused of being sexist for wearing that shirt should get a formal apology from women all over the world.

Because if feminist movement steeps so low as to accuse that man for being sexist just for wearing a silly shirt while landing a ******* probe on a ******* comet in the ******* ******* of space then it clearly has completely forgotten what feminism is about.
Women who rallied behind that stupid accusation are the very cause of why feminism is viewed the way it is viewed, and bring shame to us all.

Respect to that guy and his team and their work and for advancing the human knowledge of space.
He had to present a public apology in tears on the day that probably would have been the single most greatest day of his life!

Yes there are a lot of people who play the sexist card for no good reason.

Anyway, I am not sure this is the right forum for this kind of discussion.

It's one of my favourite things!

FYI - Just posting here (in general discussion) to raise an exclamation mark on the subject as personally I believe a great wrong has been done to this man. A scientist and space-geek, a man who's work might probably allow the generations to come to better understand their place among the stars!

:)))) good one

I think because most of them identifying themselves as feminists actually have no idea what feminism is about and simply rally behind that banner because probably past negative experience.
A feminist for example would not want EVE online to be renamed ADAM Online - he or she would want it to be named ADAM & EVE Online - get it?

Anyways, EVE is not under scrutiny here (and I personally never felt discriminated while "in the pod"). This is about that man who was dragged through the mud while trying to make us all smarter.
I guess "ad astra per aspera" is true in his case...

My wife can't be asked to care about this. Why don't I post my rant on an Internet forum echo chamber so that somebody, oh god, actually cares.

I think you missed the idea.
I'm not carrying any torch I just wanted to bring the matter into attention to a community that loves sci-fi and all things space-related.

Why do you hate women, Nami? Did you have problems, you know, in that department?

As a woman it will be a bit difficult to hate women, however at a certain level all women hate other women, I guess... it's hard to explain.
I don't hate women - if that's all you got from my initial post - I just think that the feminists that rallied behind the "public beating" of that man did a very insensible and baseless thing, did not research the matter and as a result made the feminist movement look even worse.
That man deserves all the respect he can get.

Nope!
If the mods want to move it or close it I'm sure they will.
I am sorry if my thread spoiled your perception of serenity and coherence that General Discussion should have. Honestly.

I thought it was nice to see him judged by his appearance.

Perhaps more men will now have a much greater understanding of what many women have to put up with.

Great work by all the Rosetta folk though.

it's possible to recognise positive things that happened on the day while criticising other things. looking at the presentation through a feminist frame, the shirt was given criticism

the man acknowledged a wrong and now a bunch of angry internet dorks can't respect his apology and move on

yeah this part's a bit awkward. i can imagine that if this is true, he wore the shirt to please his wife, which is sweet. we can acknowledge a person's intention is different to the message sent. it's not about labelling the man or diminishing the achievement of the day. this is something that some people refuse to understand
