  • Curie was recognized in her lifetime, she won a ton of awards, including two nobel prizes. The enormity of her contribution to physics and chemistry compared to her co-winners has been slowly revealed over time, but she was considered a brilliant scientist during her life.

    A better example could be Lise Meitner who, while in exodus from Nazi Germany, essentially figured out what fission was just by learning about the results of early nuclear physics experiments. But when people list the big names in nuclear physics, she’s not one of them.

    According to a number of sources on STEM statistics worldwide in 2025, women still occupy less than half of all STEM positions. A higher percentage of female nurses is why there’s a majority in “life sciences.” Women hold fewer higher level/higher paid positions than men in all STEM fields as well, and minorities are still demographically under-represented across the board.








  • Speaking as someone with recurrent severe depression, my closest friends are the ones who harass me with their love. That said, I would never want someone to try to reach me through my family. Her situation might be different.

    Depression is very isolating, it can make you feel unworthy of being around people because you can’t be fun, and you get anxious about making “mistakes.”

    My favorite people are the ones who randomly show up, drag me out, ask me for help with something (introvert cheat code,) and buy me games without asking so we can play together.

    If she’s an adult, she’s capable of telling someone to back off if it’s too much.

    It is a God given fact that:

    Penis = man

    Vagina = woman

    *Intersex = not part of the data

    ∴ more penis = more man

    Meaning some men are more woman than trans women, so it’s epistemologically easier to ban the heretical practice of making a conservative think.
