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 …

No but it’s weird for a professor to lie about being an undergrad to sleep with undergrads

As bad as some of his behaviour may be, aren't we able to seperate the good from the bad? Feynman gave many brilliant ideas to this world, and I feel like ignoring his wisdom in areas not pertaining to women is throwing the baby out with the bath water.

Yes you’re right.. None of his scientific contributions are being thrown out

My point was just that the quote had nothing to do with women.
