Deleted Feynman tweet cause he was a sexist
Show this thread
While there’s no evidence of Feynman discriminating against womens’ intellectual abilities, he did in fact make many predatory advances on them. What the term ‘sexist’ encapsulates i leave to you, but that’s why I deleted the tweet.https://thebaffler.com/outbursts/surely-youre-a-creep-mr-feynman-mcneill …

For context, the original tweet was a motivational quote by Feynman. There was no physics content. Motivational quotes imply that the author's character is something to be looked up to.

Moral is not universal. Neither in time or space. You are the second person I unfollow for taking a moral higher ground on a historical figure. I tolerate a lot of veiws, but I will not take part in ”book burning”.
