The post that was quoted here has been removedIt is true I suppose, but only because men ruled the world back then. Women were considered property and were rarely educated to the extent men were. They were expected to stay home and raise children for the most part.
That doesn't mean it was fair, but that is the way it was.
@soothfast saidNo, physics only exists if physicists, male physicists, are around to experiment on it.
Funny. I thought physics predated men by at least 10 billion years.

My physics is built by my Personal Trainer.

Forgetting about Hypatia, Katherine Johnson, Madam Curie, Lisa Randall, Chien-shiung Wu and lots of others.
