It seems the biggest news of the day, around the
blogs and in
the press, is that
Hawking said women were a complete mystery, which is not surprising for someone who never actually had to work with any women. So I scoured the bemused stories, looking for any mention of sexism or feminism, with regard to any of the parties involved, but of course to no avail. Perhaps there is one somewhere. Only in the comments sections did I find some relief.
Melodie Benford summed it all up:
I find this article so freakin sexist ...
And before anyone parses the post incorrectly, I know that Hawking has had a couple of female students. Marika Taylor is now a successful fuzzball stringer.
