This is the problem with gender politics. The thing is that if you made a thread just about scientists then eventually the women posted here would get posted there because the thing is that people like Marie Curie are NOT great female scientists, they are great scientists.

By posting her on an only-female thread you devalue her experiences and achievements by relegating her achievement to something comparable to the women version of sports like women's running and women's tennis, etc.

White knights please kill yourselves. If you actually respected the women you post you would not post them here, you would post them in a general scientists thread.

>>8321684
>why should they be put in the same category as male scientists?

Because they are equally capable?

The reason there is football (soccer if you are americuck) and women's football is not because women have had to struggle to get into sports (even though this is true). It is because women are physically inferior to men in the parts that matter for something like football so it would be stupid to put a women's team against a men's team. No one would watch that.

That is not the same for intellectualism and scientific achievement. Women are not mentally inferior to men which means that women can play in the same category as men. We don't need 'women science' because women can just participate in science, like men.

This is actually pretty common among white knights. Specially when you consider that the only reason they act this way is because they want to get some fuck.

>>8321693
I didn't say they (women) were mentally inferior or incapable. I think that going through struggle and achieving something makes you superior and more capable actually.

a women's football team beating a men's football team would be more impressive then vice versa.

>>8321697

>>8321710
>I think that going through struggle and achieving something makes you superior and more capable actually.

But science has nothing to do with any struggle. Science is not political.

>a women's football team beating a men's football team would be more impressive then vice versa.

It would be impressive because at the pro level this would be impossible.

If you put a women's team vs a men's team in the setting of 5 - 10 year olds then maybe this could happen because there aren't many sexual differences but put the best pro men's team against the best pro women's team and it would be a literal carnage.

The difference in physical ability at the top between men and women is ridiculous, you can even see it in the olymics. Women have their own records.

This is not even remotely the case for mental ability and the proof of that is the very women posted in this thread, being disgraced by the pack of white knights trying to impress the single woman poster in /sci/ so that she comes here and then they can all go

A woman will never break a man's record in any sport.

Meanwhile the achievements of someone like Marie Curie are literally top tier science. If a man had made what she did it would be just as amazing.

Top female scientists (I hate having to prefix words with female) are absolute proof that women and men are just as capable when it comes to mental skill.

>>8321727
>Even Einstein struggled

Just that counters your argument that because women scientists struggle they deserve their own category.

That shows men scientists also struggle.

Furthermore, even if they struggle, their struggle has nothing to do with their work. It is something on the side. It is a separate part of their lives, not their career.

Emmy Noether

From Wikipedia:
Soon after arriving at Göttingen, however, she demonstrated her capabilities by proving the theorem now known as Noether's theorem, which shows that a conservation law is associated with any differentiable symmetry of a physical system.[28][29] American physicists Leon M. Lederman and Christopher T. Hill argue in their book Symmetry and the Beautiful Universe that Noether's theorem is "certainly one of the most important mathematical theorems ever proved in guiding the development of modern physics, possibly on a par with the Pythagorean theorem".

>>8321745

>>8321248
> no Noether
Amalie Emmy Noether (German: [ˈnoːtɐ]; 23 March 1882 – 14 April 1935) was a German Jewish mathematician known for her landmark contributions to abstract algebra and theoretical physics. [1]

She was described by Pavel Alexandrov, Albert Einstein, Jean Dieudonné, Hermann Weyl, and Norbert Wiener as the most important woman in the history of mathematics.[2][3] As one of the leading mathematicians of her time, she developed the theories of rings, fields, and algebras. In physics, Noether's theorem explains the connection between symmetry and conservation laws.[4]

>>8321746
>Outliers don't say much about the average member of a group, though.

Then top male scientists don't say anything about men in general, meaning that both men and women are just as stupid.

Either you accept that both male achievement and female achievement imply male and female intelligence or you accept that neither male achievement nor female achievement imply male or female achievement.

You can't have it both ways. Men can't be smart and women dumb or women smart and men dumb because both groups have people at the top. Either we are all dumb or we are all capable.

Physical differences are much better understood and easier to measure, though. If a woman athlete injects testosterone she'll grow more muscle and likely get better at whatever she's doing. I haven't heard about that happening with mental capabilities.

If a woman goes to the olympics and participates in the men's events and does not finish last then that implies that women are virtually as capable as men.

If a woman participates in science and makes great achievements then that implies that women are virtually as capable as men.

Even if you assume that women have to be less smart than men that the margin would have to be really smart because if women, even in their supposed mentally inferior state, can get into science and do great then what is even the practical difference?

Kek, shall we?
1. Probably the smartest human of all time, IQ > 220+

2. 100% photographic (eiditic memory), could recite books he read one decades prior backwards in a different language without pause.

3. Universal genius and unrivaled polymath, was virtually peerless in all academic fields he applied himself to, got bored and moved on quickly from field to field.

4. Capable of fast, extremely complex mental computations, he would calculate nuclear warhead yields in his head in seconds to minutes, and then have the computer do it over a period of hours to days to confirm, and was often exactly correct or within standard error.

5. Designed the first true computer and his von neumann architecture which is still used in virtually all electronic devices to this day

6. Invented game theory and a seemingly endless list of groundbreaking achievements and mathematical breakthroughs in a vast amount of fields.

7. Saved us from Russian domination during the early cold war, convined america they were woefully behind in the arms race (which they refused to believe), pioneered the manhattan project and created nuclear warheads, and created the concept of MAD (mutual assured destruction).

8. Was 100% neurotypical, he was not introverted or on the autism/assburger spectrum and was quite jovial, he enjoyed hosting parties at his house and would wear funny hats and tell jokes to amuse his guests.

9. Towards the end of his life (died from brain cancer at around 50) began pioneering work on cellular atomata.

10. On his own he worked out key steps required for the development of the atomic bomb, and he worked out the structure of DNA via mathematical analysis, before the structure was discovered by watson and crick.

As you can see, John von Neumann had potentially the greatest human mind of all time. However, his immeasurable genius also had a disadvantage in that he couldn't focus on one area for a long time.
