Nobel prize winner under fire for making sexist remarks about women

[Supersonic 49,376]

"A Nobel laureate has come under fire for shockingly s-xist remarks at the World Conference of Science Journalists in Seoul, South Korea.

Tim Hunt, who won the 2001 Nobel Prize in medicine for his work on cell duplication, was speaking at an invitation-only lunch in honor of women in science.

The 72-year-old scientist said that he has a reputation as a chauvinist, and that labs should be segregated by s-x.

'Let me tell you about my trouble with girls,” he reportedly said. “You fall in love with them, they fall in love with you, and when you criticize them, they cry!'"

"they fall in love with you and when you criticize them, they cry"

[ARTPOPdidntflop 3,987]

Gays have so much to learn about feminism. If you don't realise whats s-xist about this

"they fall in love with you and when you criticize them, they cry" 

 

What's s-xist about that? 

​It's basically saying female scientists in the work place are weak and don't deserve to work amongst males because they can't handle honesty because they're weak and feminine and they will cry

"they fall in love with you and when you criticize them, they cry" 

 

What's s-xist about that? 

​Assuming that all women in science labs are like "victims of their own emotions", can't take criticism and only work there to fish for men is pretty s-xist.

There goes his chance of winning another Nobel, this time for peace...
