Yes, yes it is unfair. Because they are saying that women are lesser than men; our accomplishments aren’t as important even when they are more significant, especially Ms. Brill and her achievements as a pioneer for women in science.

Okay, no. No.

Disagree. It’s clearly sexist.

Too bad Yvonne Brill is dead, or she could teach you how to make it. Ugh.

I actually think that’s why I was so sour about it - she had just achieved so much, and was walking away from all of it to be just a wife and mommy. It’s sad to me when women do that, FWIW.

Women giving up high-profile careers in their prime fucking sucks. Period.

This woman was a ground-breaking scientist, in a time when women really couldn’t be ground-breaking or scientists, yet all we care about is how great she is about making Hamburger Helper. Because she’s a woman.

Yes. Yes, they are. Anyone who says that domestic skills are “more important” than significant professional accomplishments is either lying or pandering.

Yes, I do. Because accomplished, smart women are always wives and mothers first. Accomplished, smart men are never husbands and fathers first.

Except, I doubt that they would do that. This *is* exactly that equivalent. It’s also kind of shitty because, well, she had to quit her job and he didn’t.

I’m a huge soccer fan, and I agree with you. Honestly, I was really, really bummed when she quit to be a mom. She’s a far better player than Jrue, and she quit just as she was becoming a serious star.

Hotter take: no obituary for a man would focus on how gee-golly great he is at cutting the grass and identify him as a father first.

I don’t disagree that our government should stop pissing taxpayer funds away on defense and corporate welfare. I would love for the US to be a European-style utopia with free/reasonable college for all, better access to healthcare, the whole nine yards.

I certainly don’t blame these women for trying to get to the US, but I also think that immigration laws need to exist, too.

Re: refugees - that’s not really how it works. Yes, UN treaty countries need to accept refugees, but not everyone who claims refugee status actually qualifies.

I’m a lawyer. I know all of that.

Many of them crossed the border in Texas or Arizona, and were shipped up here as overflow from Karnes and Dilley.

Government-funded legal services organizations are barred from doing immigration work as part of their funding. These orgs are already overburdened and underfunded and are unable to even help citizens in need. I’m not sure where funding would come for all these immigration attorneys.

It’s not “thousands” to file immigration applications; asylum applications are free, for example, and there are fee waivers for qualifying immigrants under the VAWA program/I-485 green card program/N-400.

Those are all absolutely true, but if we’re making the comparison, I think it’s dishonest to forget that women are far more likely to be raped, abused, or killed by intimate partners than men.
