1. Name one woman who has ever invented/discovered anything on God’s green Earth?
What did Marie Sklodowska Curie discover?

In 1898 Marie Curie and her husband discovered two new radioactive elements: radium (named after the Latin word for ray) and polonium (named after Marie’s home country, Poland). More information on Marie Curie: https://t.co/ZGVLpJOrH8 pic.twitter.com/VsxXLq9MC7
2. Okay, one Indian woman scientist then?
Asima Chatterjee was an Indian organic chemist who developed anti-epileptic drugs and anti-malarial drugs. She was the first woman to gain a Doctorate of Science from an Indian university in 1944, when she graduated from University of Calcutta.#STEMlegends #WomenInSTEM pic.twitter.com/GAf6cxYfFk

3. Okay, these might be exceptions. Women these days push open a door that reads ‘pull’. They can’t comprehend basic directions.
We got the very first photo of a black hole because of an amazing team led by MIT grad student Katie Bouman, who helped create the algorithm that made the image possible. ⚫️ Congratulations and THANK YOU, Katie! 💥 You’re an inspiration to so many people 💫 pic.twitter.com/F6WqguYhJt

4. Okay, a woman sat at home and discovered something. Big deal! In reality, women are too weak to take on actual missions.

5. Women can’t handle important shit. This is just how things are. #SorryNotSorry.
The #womanoftheweek is Margaret Hamilton – a fierce woman who coined the term “software engineering”, was the Director of the software engineering division at the MIT Intrumentation Library, and helped develop the software program on board the Apollo space program. (1/3) pic.twitter.com/UzJLBk6IMy

6. Women cannot handle money, they totally suck at it. They know how to spend it, for sure? But make use of it? Never!

These are the three Indian women who helped to send India’s probe to Mars on a fraction of the budget of the US or European space budget. pic.twitter.com/tl1vF9ZwnZ
7. Astronomy? Women are only interested in astrology. Zodiacs are all they care about.
After becoming the first American to discover a comet and calculate its orbit, Maria Mitchell became the only widely recognized and respected female astronomer of her time. She spent her entire life advocating for women’s education: @massivesci https://t.co/6p3ZMQhNWL pic.twitter.com/WggoDOtj5z

8. They are too busy posting ‘deadly selfies’. How will they find a cure for deadly diseases?
“Eva Ramón Gallegos, a researcher from Mexico National Polytechnic Institute was able to completely eradicate the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) in 29 patients. This discovery prevents malignant neoplasm, the second cause of death among Mexican women.” https://t.co/pieMcPpMsR

9. Name one woman NASA entrusted with responsibility. They have no real scope in science.
#Scientist of the Week! Nancy Roman, mother of the #Hubble telescope. She was recruited by @NASA to run the astronomy program (first person to run it, first woman at NASA to be in leadership). Her dedication is a major reason why the Hubble is a reality today #WomenInSTEM 1/2

10. Women are just too much. Their ‘icy cold friend-zoning hearts’ can’t handle extreme conditions.

11. Don’t even get me started on women in mathematics! They can be your ex, but can’t find ‘x’.

12. Women in chemistry? Lol, God endowed them with Bio, let them deal with that.

13. Women should just take Humanities and learn Home Economics. Learning science is just a waste of time and their dad’s money.

14. Women are born to be rescued. These damsels in distress can’t save anyone.
Alice Ball was a chemist who developed an injectable herbal extract that was the most effective treatment for leprosy during the early 20th century. She was the first woman and first African American to receive a master’s degree from the University of Hawaii. pic.twitter.com/EBL80Zcl8f

15. The only thing that women know about computers is which colour they are.
SCIENTIST SPOTLIGHT: Grace Hopper was an American computer scientist and US Navy rear admiral. One of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer, she was a pioneer of computer programming who invented one of the first compiler related tools. #computerscience #Tower pic.twitter.com/xnoYWcGi42

16. Women are too busy finding a potential mate, who’ll provide for them. They shouldn’t occupy themselves with finding anything else.
Caroline Herschel was born on this day in 1750. Her mother deemed her too ugly to marry and relegated her to a domestic servant for the family. Instead, Caroline became the world’s first professional woman astronomer, nearly dying for science https://t.co/rIw6swW8Fv

17. Women can’t be sent to space, yo. Unless you want a meteor to hit the Earth.
June 1963, Cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova launched aboard the Soviet Union’s Vostok 6 mission, become the first woman in space and the first to wear a mission patch! pic.twitter.com/pdBCIHVBhf

18. Woman paleontologist? I wonder how they find time out to dig out stuff, when they in reality are busy digging up reasons to argue.
Great to see that Mary Anning is getting the attention that she deserves. This pioneering palaeontologist laid the foundations for this field. Read this profile to find out more: https://t.co/mhx3OpdrnI

19. Women can only be a mother or work. They can’t juggle two things in life, let alone two responsibilities.

20. Women can only give your cardiac arrests by stomping on your heart. What do they know about operating one?
How can we forget the contributions of 101-year-old Padmavibhushan Dr. SI Padmavati, who played a big role in setting up a cardiac clinic and cardiac cath lab in India as early as 1950s. #WomeninScience4SDGs @WomenScienceDay pic.twitter.com/41ZpsOLUqT

21. There is no discrimination in STEM against women, it’s women who don’t want to ‘choose’ this field.
Here’s an end of the week pick me up! Read the story of how Twitter users came together to recognize the sole woman in a picture of thirty-eight scientists – the only person in the photograph to be captioned “not identified”. https://t.co/HlFzjdvavh

22. Physics was built by men. These women don’t belong here. Let them sit in the kitchen.
https://t.co/SpTA3TTO85
— Marco, Dr. Puntastic (@1Natsu01) October 1, 2018
“Physics was invented and built by men”.
– Vera Rubin (materia oscura)
– Marie Curie (Nobel)
– Sandra Faber (Hubble)
– Jocelyn Bell (Pulsar)
– Rosalind Franklin (dna, rna)
– Hopper, Wilson, Germain, Meitner, etc.
Even #Sturmia is built by a woman.
Hence proved, women and STEM are polar opposites. Come on now, back to the kitchen, let men take charge.
