I disagree. As long as there is old technology (let's face it, a keyboard from 1985 isn't much different from a keyboard today in terms of functionality), there's no need to kiss passwords goodbye. Besides, I find it quite entertaining knowing that with my 13 digit password made up of totally random numbers, letters, and symbols, you could try a million times every second and still take up to a trillion years to crack it! The only thing more personal than that would be a retinal scan.
I wasn't aware that one of the necessities of having a role model scientist was that of said role model being the same sex. I wouldn't say anyone was "deprived". There are many people who don't reach the public eye yet do great things, and we aren't upset about that. There are plenty of good and bad examples alike around to discern truth and goodness from. That said, I'm not advocating the theft of anyone's work, I just think the above point was somewhat over-dramatized. I don't think all women between the ages of 8 and 80 are feeling robbed by this possibility.
I hope your aren't meaning to imply that the bible itself was written about a hundred years ago or so, because it speaks quite differently about marriage than your claim of it being "strictly a political and financial arrangement".
