The Defence Science & Tech laboratory @dstlmod has chosen one of their male scientists to be the face of international women and girls in science day.

Ah, it's a photo of a male chicken, clad in a dress.

Now this was fun! And in the US some Rhode Island Democratic Party women's group (not sure if state level or not) is led by a 75-year old transwoman (a Baptist minister) who only transitioned a few years ago.

It's interesting to finally see womaning done right! The leadership roles go to those who perform femininity the best?

Having been the young woman who later on in life found out the woman I was inspired by was a man like the other 90%... ugh.. they have absolutely no idea how devastating this is. Especially when you only read about your heros as i did back in the day.

Much as I despair at the sheer number of captured by this ideology useful idiots in charge everywhere, I'm increasingly heartened at how many women and men are now openly calling out this bullshit.

Yes. The difference on Twitter is very noticeable from, say, a year ago, and it's not just different moderation principles (if they have changed) that causes this.

Did anyone click on the actual link? What really stood out for me is that in any other situation where a women is specifically being highlighted for her expertise in the context of being a women, she is asked how being a women impacts this or advice to other women or whatever. But not here. You know why? Because this person can't give WOMEN advice because women's experience would have been completely different.

ARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH

And breathe.

As a woman who works in stem.... Argh! Seriously who is managing that twitter account and why haven't they worked out they should delete it yet? It's definitely changing, there wasn't one supportive tweet I read.

The hidden ones are all gender critical takes.

So actual science where biology and dna is key, not feelings in someone's head and they promote a man. You couldn't make it up.

soboredtonight · 16/02/2023 18:49

Anyone read blind faith by Ben Elton. Where science is banned and seen as heresy. Social
Media and how you feel rules the world.

It's now closer to our truth than when I read it nearly 20 years ago.

It was so far fetched when I read it originally.

It's scarily getting to how it will actually be in 10 20 years or so

Feministwoman · 16/02/2023 19:57

I used to work for this lot as a Scientist (previously was in MoD, was transferred across when my bit of the MoD was privitised.

Thank fuck I'm retired, now!

Back in the day (many many years ago) I used to be asked to be a "token woman Scientist" for publicity stuff.

They don't need to bother now, do they. Just use a man in a dress
🙄😡

mrshoho · 16/02/2023 20:04

Had to check the date in case we'd jumped to 1st April. Another example of the idiocy of this ideology.

thelionthewitchtheaudacityofTHISbitch · 16/02/2023 22:04

I gave up and just forwarded the tweet to my MP who used to chair the Foreign Affairs Committee. I discussed in my tweets influence on girls and the impact of using a male figure on this occasion, and then secondly the blocking of accounts with different views and hiding of replies by a tax-payer funded organisation.

SidewaysOtter · 16/02/2023 22:14

Oh for fuck’s fucking sake. “It’s international women in science day so let’s promote a MAN”.

I’ve rolled my eyes so hard I’ve strained my entire face.

FemaleAndLearning · 16/02/2023 22:14

This is a good reply.

International women in science day - you've guessed it.

twitter.com/dstlmod/status/1625427203734347776?t=CGa2mYo0DEo0_PRBY5Otlw&s=19 oh seriously we're meant to believe "Nat" is a woman? Just because you grow your hair, wear a dress and raise your eyebrows in photos does not mean Nat is a woman FFS 😡

EpicChaos · 16/02/2023 22:34

International women in science day - you've guessed it.

And there was me thinking that Sturgeon would be an absolute shoe - in and also for the Nobel prize for Medicine, following her discovery of the 3rd sex - males, females and " individuals "!
Just goes to show, doesn't it?! :-/

DarkOphelia · 18/02/2023 15:51

Sorry, I'm going to be the blunt bitch here.

Why the fuck am I paying tax to fund the MOD to take the absolute piss out of me? You don't respect my sex, then you can give me back my tax.

Click the 3 dots at the top next to Dstl (the original tweet) to see all the hidden replies - there are loads.

I can no longer see the Hidden replies - can anyone else? I also cannot see my 2 tweets from 16/2/2023 but perhaps I am looking in the wrong place. I certainly havent deleted them.

I can still see hidden replies.
