@02439a38 @8388665a With respect, that's profoundly wrong (being polite). Female scientists with children find it immensely difficult to compete for jobs, grants, promotion and recognition, because of the disproportionate burden of child rearing that is borne by women.

Just do a search on "female scientists discrimination". 

 @02439a38 @8388665a I'm  not sure it is irrelevant, since the message of the post is that genius can have a woman's face, and be a woman who is otherwise quite ordinary. It's  quite ordinary for a woman to be a mother. The kind of people who witheld support for her career may well have thought of motherhood as a factor in their decision, whereas fatherhood is never seen as a reason to discriminate against men.
