Sexy Female Scientist Video Draws Fire
sciencehabit writes "A new video released by the The European Commission — ostensibly aimed at getting girls interested in science — is drawing widespred condemnation from around the web for its depiction of female scientists as sexy models strutting into the frame in high heels and short skirts. A male scientist watching them from behind his microscope doesn't seem to mind that none of them are wearing safe lab attire—he just pops his glasses on for a better look. The rest of the video is a mish-mash of heels, nail polish, lipstick, and sexily smoldering Erlenmeyer flasks, arbitrarily punctuated by girly giggles." The Commission denies that the video (since pulled) was a parody, but they've certainly set the bar high for anyone who wanted to make an actual parody.
It's the EU. Not big on immigrants. You're lucky to get even one minority.
Nobody wants women there, including women themselves, who can find much better prospects elsewhere, except the bureaucracy who needs to justify of existence of PC-ridden useless entities.
Do you really think that Dorothy Hodgkin or her pupil, Margaret Thatcher, or recently knighted or damed, whatever that silly Monty Pythonesque title is, formidable Janet Thornton, needed advertisement?
Screw the gap.
Instead of defining what is this, this sacred entity, notion, that the army must die for, the same bureaucrats working on eliminating "gaps" in women, gays, all kind of useless PC-notions that only distract institutions from fulfilling their goals.
In my 25 years working in different scientific laboratories, I have never seen any anti-women bias, in contrary, they got preferential treatment.
Enough already. Pick some other PC-project to work on.
I do not believe in karma. "Funny"=-6. Do good and forbid evil. Yours, Oft-Offtopic Flamebaiting Troll.
That's just what you like to think; seeing how non-submissive, intelligent women wouldn't even give you the time of the day.
So don't you worry your useless head; just keep wanking and pouting from the cheap seats. Now there's a good boy.
