That’s so messed up!

I’m a little ashamed to say I left the field when offered the chance.

Why am I not surprised 🙄

This was really quite vile. It must have been such an awe-inspiring experience, and here all these wankers ruined the moment for her (and for us). Why are men?

danielcormier.bsky.social•91 days ago

That's so sad. I've followed her for a long time, and that video brought me to tears.

My wife had endured over 30 years of sexism and misogyny in her field … it’s a problem in STEM from the university level clear through government or civil servant positions … unacceptable 😓

That's horrible. It was a special moment she was sharing with all of us

That's awful. I saw they had taken it down, but didn't realize why.

A bunch of dorks that can’t make it to Walmart without their mom’s help were really upset by a woman’s accomplishments today.

rroyh.bsky.social•81 days ago

It’s not just dorks, it’s the repetition of second rate and third rate scientists earning status while a woman who works three times as hard as them will always be shut down and diminished

oh my GOD??? really?

skylargrayson.bsky.social•91 days ago

Yup I saw some of the comments before they took it down it was disgusting. Her reaction made me cry, it was so awestruck and emotional 🥺 some people are the worst

astrojaz.bsky.social•91 days ago

this is why i’ll never stop advocating for women in stem. yes we’ve made progress, but holy shit do we have a ways to go.

emily deserved that flight so badly and i can’t believe those people ruined it

skylargrayson.bsky.social•91 days ago

I really hope they didn’t fully ruin it! While I can’t imagine how heartbreaking it is to hear some of that crap she is standing behind her joy and wonder. Which takes a whole new level of inspiring strength

I watched that video and was so touched by it...I hope that they put it back up with comments disabled then. That's just sick those trolls.

barrygoldman1.bsky.social•89 days ago

that sucks. we suck at appreciating excitement and awe... even that video of Shatner's reaction to going up in the rocket... that got spoiled too. coulnd't just let him have his moment!
