>So apparently some (I hope very few) people online are using the fact that I am the primary developer of the eht-imaging software library (https://github.com/achael/eht-imaging …) to launch awful and sexist attacks on my colleague and friend Katie Bouman. Stop. Our papers used three independent imaging software libraries (including one developed by my friend @sparse_k). While I wrote much of the code for one of these pipelines, Katie was a huge contributor to the software; it would have never worked without her contributions and the work of many others who wrote code, debugged, and figured out how to use the code on challenging EHT data. With a few others, Katie also developed the imaging framework that rigorously tested all three codes and shaped the entire paper ...; as a result, this is probably the most vetted image in the history of radio interferometry. I'm thrilled Katie is getting recognition for her work and that she's inspiring people as an example of women's leadership in STEM. I'm also thrilled she's pointing out that this was a team effort including contributions from many junior scientists, including many women junior scientists .... Together, we all make each other's work better; the number of commits doesn't tell the full story of who was indispensable. So while I appreciate the congratulations on a result that I worked hard on for years, if you are congratulating me because you have a sexist vendetta against Katie, please go away and reconsider your priorities in life. Otherwise, stick around -- I hope to start tweeting more about black holes and other subjects I am passionate about -- including space, being a gay astronomer, Ursula K. Le Guin, architecture, and musicals. Thanks for following me, and let me know if you have any questions about the EHT!

honestly feminists should be annoyed that whenever there is anything done in science with huge thousand person teams they go through with a fine tooth comb until they can find one thin whiteish girl they can celebrate and spam all over the world and never talk about anyone else at all in all the news stories

"PERSON WITH VAGINA HELPS DO THING, EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS A VAGINA SHE STILL PULLED THIS OFF"

if women were equal you would not have to do this all the time, and you would not have to shun anyone who is not thin and whiteish and young. It's not just that they would have shunned her if she were a man, they would have shunned her if she were fat or 40. That should piss off feminists (who are mostly fat or ugly)

This is basically the biggest flag. He's outright admitting she's just a figurehead for the feminist agenda.

It annoys you because she's a girl. If the media had mistakenly attributed the feat to an old white man you wouldn't have left your containment board to post about it.

Sure, she wasn't the main contributor and media got it wrong. Big surprise. Everyone knows mainstream journalists have zero rigor, especially when it comes to science. You're making such a big deal out of this because you're a misogynist brainlet.

Point is, no matter how much you whine in a taiwanese basket weaving board you're not going to get mainstream journalists to do their job rigorously. Why? Because journalists are clueless hacks who write for clicks and views, not for truth.

This has always been an issue, but you're only protesting now because they tried to sell an empowered scientist girl story. You don't care about science, you'd be posting in /lit/ if the story was about a girl who wrote a book but she really only wrote one page. Again, you wouldn't be posting here if the story was about an old white man instead of a girl.

All I'm doing is responding, anon. Responding to a forced campaign, as is my right. I didn't create this bullshit. And you don't know what I respond to or how long I do. I've scrolled by 100 other debates surrounding this topic before deciding to respond to you. Consider not immaturely reducing everyone you come across on the internet into some kind of absurd, tiny strawman that does all the dumb and meager things you want him to because he's inconvenient for you. There has been an equal and opposite backlash to the attempt to make her the "face" of this stupid picture project and it's due since their justification was awful and obviously more "muh womn in STEM" shit.

Could you please elaborate on why do you feel the urge to respond to a 'forced campaign' about 'muh women in STEM'?

Is it a forced campaign? Probably. Do I fucking care? No, journalists do this kind of crap everyday, and in this particular case it does no harm (who cares if some plebs believe this girl took the picture all by herself after reading the news, plebs don't care about science or scientist). Why do you care? I don't know. The easiest assumption is that you get triggered by any SJW manifestation, which would make you a /pol/tard.

>> No.10562048

>>10562026

Why do you feel the urge to respond to the responders? Why are you going to bat for something that you consider trivial and stupid? Could you actually be lying and just trying to get an easy out should the argument start looking poor on its face? "Well, this was all dumb anyway, and you're dumb for caring." This after pushing the narrative in the first place.

And you call everyone a /pol/tard if they don't step in line with that thought. Very interesting, anon. You do know the root of scientific truth is skepticism and curiosity, right? And here you are preaching for shut mouths and complacency. It could be, after all, that you are the authoritarian, asshole ideologue.

>> No.10562079

>Why do you feel the urge to respond to the responders?
Because you're in this board and you can read me. If some stupid journalist was posting here saying that Katie did everything on her own I would tell him that he's stupid and what he's saying makes no sense. But he's not here, you are, and I enjoy telling people why they're wrong.

I'm not preaching for shut mouths and complacency. The world has a thousand problems and you chose to care about the most trivial of them. That's why you're wrong. Social polarization is a way bigger problem than 'muh SJWs promoting women in STEM' because it leads to pointless debates and populism, and both SJWs and anti-SJWs (since you don't like the term /pol/tard) are contributing to that problem.

Just go to another planet to fight each other over stupid shit, ffs.

how do I become her cuckold?

>> No.10562654

men value sex and claim to be good at sex (which they are not, especially with virgin girls) only because they know it is on sex and harmless fun that a woman bases her decision to let men continue to care for her.

If a woman was able to acknowledge a man in a non sexual way, then men would care more about this way than sex. But that is not the case, women center their life on sex and they love to let compete for them, take only the men who show how well they can entertain women.

The blow back for women is that repulsive, poor men continue to try to be noticed by women and men do not know when to stop.

Another problem for women, is that once a man is chosen by a woman for the fucking and caring, the man thinks he no longer competes against other men, and that woman no longer has any orbiters. The man thinks his victory is perpetual. Then the woman gets less and less harmless fun that she craves, so she choose a few other disposable orbiters. Then the current provider no longer feels acknowledged and begins to seek the validation of another woman.

Also, women do not have babies because ''muh genes'' muh evolution.
Women have babies because
-they love to spread their legs
-their parents push them for grand children
-they get bored and they see the family as a way to keep the relationship alive
-they see other women having babies and being okay with it

This stuff about ''tough healthy males'' comes from the male love to interpret anything through their fantasy of dominance and submission, but this is because they love to confuse dominance with being active and submission with being passive so that they delude themselves that they are not the weaker sex by being so active, whereas their activities turn out to be only making women comfy and make life harder for men.

Women know this male clinging to power fantasies by heart and they have no problem using it to avoid being as destitute as a men can become, while still thinking that those women realize the female fantasy of intimacy, of going beyond passing for and knowing to be slutty goldiggers, by being devoted to the realization of the fantasy of grandiosity of a few men or more commonly by having children and creating a family.

What women want the most is harmless fun and intimacy. THey get to realize their fantasy first when they are young with men, by trying to let their ''ego'' on the side and realize the sexual fantasies of the men who fuck them. WOmen quickly learn that the only healthy way to relate to men is to be capitalistic on the male market.

But The fantasy of being intimate is realized with having children. THis is what men do not understand. Women love ''to be selfless'' by caring about children and they delude themselves that their compassion and unconditional love for the children is a good thing. Childless women direct their retarded compassion towards animals and children they do not know.
So women love children for the intimacy. Women rely on men for the sex and care they give.
