@drajt @Sheril it's great she's taught to a small niche of people (which most grad students are), but she's left out of the wider education in middle & high school, in the US in the 90s at least. So, might be incorrect to say C&W are responsible for the sexism, but pretending sexism didn't persist for decades in defining her legacy, or lack thereof, isn't the right way to address this either.

@BeaFurniss @Sheril I don't think it's saying anything other than "woman has research stolen" which is a legitimate claim. I'm not sure where you're getting the pity-angle from.

@drajt @Sheril I think the problem is that they never bothered to give her that credit when she was alive.

@BeaFurniss @Sheril I find the article slightly biased. The only evidence of lack of sexism is just the "trust me, they would have done it to a man even though we can't prove it," claim made by the article's author. And then after that claim, providing clear sexist behavior on the part of Watson in the next paragraph is just how blind the author is to it. Is there clear evidence sexism played a role? No. Is there a lot of circumstantial? Sure.
