ok, i’m just going to say this once— the number of times men respond to my posts “correcting” me is just astonishing. it is never women. ever. if you want examples of dudes mansplaining, go ahead and scroll through any female scientist’s posts. men: STOP. just stop.

...I'd love to be qualified to correct someone studying for a Phd in astrophysics. But since you've got at least 2 degrees more than I do just to get *into* your program.... hard pass. And that gents is how that is done.
"...even though you've got at least 2 degrees more than I do just to get *into* your program, I still think my opinion is valid and you're probably wrong anyway. Also you're a bitch if you call me out."

Apparently "the first" is something I type so poorly on mobile that even autocorrect won't save me. ...good to know.
