Deleted Feynman tweet cause he was a sexist

Come on, bro, you’re reaching. Why? I don’t know. Possibly to avoid hurting people’s feelings which is nice but unnecessary. Feynman wasn’t a sexist. He loved women and helped many women get into STEM fields (including his sister).

I recommend you read past the first tweet in the thread

1. The tweet I responded to is what popped up on my feed and not a thread. 2. I still disagree with your conclusion that he was predatory by the standards of his time. Holding to him to our standards is a little irrational. 3. The article linked misrepresents his bar quote.

(1) that’s your defense, really? (2) his time..? That was like 60 years ago bro when ‘manners’ were even more pervasive than now .. his contemporaries said the same.. also he abused women so there’s that that I’m sure you’re ready to defend (3) ..
