Ok so in fall fairness Vera Rubin had a partner in crime. She was *only* 50% of the team. Unlike all the people who were like 5% . . .

I think everyone who has received the prize (except for maybe Burnell's adviser) made a significant contribution to the community

But I think the fact that the male heads of large teams keep getting it really exposes misogynist hypocrisy with respect to Vera Rubin

And at this point, I feel like asking men to *stop* accepting this prize. Especially if it's for anything post-dark matter.

I think men should boycott the Nobel Prize in physics. I think they should refuse to accept it. Or accept and devote their speech to sexism.

Male physicists who get the Nobel Prize call should refuse to accept it until women/gender URM candidates with preceding discoveries get it.
