Goes to show bitches will always find something to get cunty about. Sad that when you Google search his name you get primarily news buzz about this fiasco with PC police being offended by his shirt. Very possible that his legacy will be "the space scientist guy with the offensive shirt" over "The Project Scientist for the Rosetta program that helped complete the first ever spacecraft landing on a comet"

I'm starting to write an RoK article as we speak. This is just gross and over the top.

I could barely watch it. I was hoping to god he was some motorcycle-ridin', underground-basement-boxin', hopped-up-on-drugs-threesome-havin', scientific badass.

But alas, he's 100% beta.

He has done nothing to deserve this, he's a 'normal' guy living a good, independent life following his passion.

He married what I would guess is his first love (they met in their late teens), has two children, and has a world-class position in hard science, making groundbreaking work possible. That's a legacy anyone could be proud of.

This guy is not like us, he's not a player, wasn't jaded or damaged, he's only ever worked to give something positive to the world.


From now until his grave, this 'scandal', dreamt up by a jealous nobody, will follow him everywhere he goes. He will never be able to redeem himself in their eyes.

We talk about the denigration of the working man and cultural marxists working to destroy society from within, and here you see the result of the corruption in modern society.

Agreed.

To me, this is an example of a nice guy (an actual nice guy, not a whiny douche) getting picked on.

He played a part in accomplishing a first in humanity, and the SJWs want to crush him for a shirt he was wearing that seemed like an attempt at irony. Instead of wearing a lab coat or a suit, the scientist wore a funny shirt.

Remember "Mohawk Guy" from NASA who worked on the Curiosity Rover? He was 'objectified' for being the opposite of a stereotypical science nerd. Meme's were created, everyone had a good laugh.

But here the tables are turned, a man is having a little fun, and the feminists are up in arms.

The comment section in the Telegraph article are encouraging.

EDIT: Hard to choose a favorite, but this one was pretty good:

Feminists are mad because 1) No one wants to put them on a shirt, and 2) Even if a person did want to put them on a shirt, the shirt would only be able to fit a few images of them.

I really hope this becomes one of the pivotal events in this whole thing finally beginning to turn around. It might just make what this poor bastard has been put through worthwhile.

Look at Google news. He got loads of positive press until this was stirred up. Suddenly every source turned against him.

He will survive, but every public appearance will be scrutinised looking for other 'sexist' actions or thoughts.

Think he'll win any high profile awards for this project without a Twitter hashtag campaigning against praising a 'sexist'?


Richard Feynman? Possibly the finest thinker of his generation, popular and successful educator, credited with making many people interested in physics? Bad man. Sexist.

This is what they do.

Atlant,

This is politics. It is a different beast.

Here are potential ways this shite can haunt him forever:

#1. Jealous, fellow female scientists(competing colleagues) will be waiting for any opportunity to bash him over the head with this fiasco, whenever it suits their interests.

#2. If in the future, Matt Taylor, is later up for a position and another female scientist is also up for that same position,.... odds are the position will go to that woman instead(even though she may be less qualified). Why? Because the female scientist could cause a ruckus over the administration choosing a "known misogynist" over her... which proves that the administration are chauvinistic arseholes just like this misogynist(matt taylor). They(the admininstration) will want to avoid gender discrimination lawsuits... hence, they will gave her the position instead of Matt taylor thereby affecting his career.

#3. If Matt Taylor is a thesis adviser for a female graduate student... and she is not performing up to par... If Matt Taylor gave a critical, unflattering assessment of her performance; she can claim that Matt Taylor negative attitudes towards women is holding her back...that Dr. Taylor is not judging her on merits, but gender... causing all sorts of independent/judicial review...etc... [ i knew a bitch that pulled this stunt in graduate school at my school, actually.]

#4. Or worse yet, if the graduate student claim that Matt Taylor sexually harassed her... who will they believe? Between Matt Taylor aka confirmed misogynist versus innocent, hardworking, budding female scientist? Of course, Matt Taylor will be guilty.

#5. To prove that He(matt taylor) is not misogynist... he may now have to fill up his lab with women... just for the good optics of proving: see! see! i work with women, i am not an evil misogynist. The unfortunate thing is that, he may not want to work with some of these women.. but it will be difficult for him to terminate them because of charges of being a misogynist. So, he may have to pass over qualified men for underqualified women, just so that he(matt taylor) doesn't come across as misogynist who hates women. Also, he will have to put up with cunty behaviour he would not normally tolerated... this shite will forever hang like the sword of Damocles over his head...

#6. This may jeopardize his chances of getting tenured at the right time, if he doesn't have tenure already. Politics play a role in who gets tenured or not. Your post, atlant, assume that scientific academia is this utilitarian, work-focused place... yes and no....in the sense that the politics of academia is vicious. They do the research...but they also play their version of mean political games...

#7. Any university wanting to hire him immediately after this, will be hesitant, because of potential protests of SJW on their campuses... and the attack on their physics department with charges of misogyny. Especially, if they[physics department] want to hire him for a position that another female scientist badly wants.

Here is a man that had producted over 70 published scientific works in space plasma and their behaviour in magnetopheric boundaries, ... now made to grovel because of a stupid t-shirt...

Shit like this is getting insane.

It IS religious. Look at it, it's the new inquisition. Just a suggestion of crossing the SJWs means grown respectable men fall to the ground praising their god for fear of incurring the wrath of the inquisition.

What utter pathetic state of affairs that this 1% man is sent into such a humiliating state because of the absurd ramblings of some fat internet dyke with no friends.

This is surrealistic. Just 10 years ago this would have been unthinkable. There IS a dangerous fight going on here.

Rule #1 Never apologize when attacked by SJW's. Or if you are going to apologize, you do it in the backhanded "non-apology" format("I'm sorry that you got offended.") Unfortunately, this guy is just a scientist minding his own business and has no familiarity with the protocols of this retarded shell game. He's too busy you know, accomplishing historical feats.

I am saddened by his response. I was hoping he was going to grant a second interview and just do something like "I would like to say something to everyone that was offended by my shirt....fuck her right in the pussy" and drop the mic.

...all the while the world wonders why men are mad.

Nay, they wonder why we're mad at women in general. It's because generally, ugly women stick up for this chic, and hotter women pander support to them, because the #1 rule evolution hard-wired into women maintain face socially.

Post: #66

That shirt is really bad style, not because it's sexist, but because it's not appropriate or congruent for the situation and it doesn't fit the guy very well. The woman who asked him to wear it for her should have known that. It shows that you have to be careful letting a woman in your life have too much input into how you dress.

You see, as a young man, my dream was to become a nurse.

But then one day I was watching tv about a medical team that saved an infant from death. But the lead nurse was holding a romance novel with a shirtless Fabio on the cover.

I proceeded to shake and vomit.

I felt excluded and unsafe. I made the decision right then to not pursue nursing.

And this is why the nursing field is dominated by women.

This guy lands space ships on comets.

If he wants to show up to work wearing a viking helmet and speedos, so be it.

Lesson here is never apologize, always return fire. He should have called this random "woman" out for trying to cash in on one of mankind's greatest achievements. He should ask for an apology for the attempted bullying of the way he chooses to dress and express himself.

This is why the red-pill message must be spread to all men.

I found this from the first Google result, a link to a separate article calling Matt Taylor "useless in everyday life":

http://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/...ist-sister

If you don't feel like clicking, here are the offending paragraphs:

Quote:Such is the fate of Matt Taylor, the British scientist who is a key part of the Rosetta team. As he was toasting the probe’s success – albeit amid remaining concerns about its location and future – his sister, Maxine, told London’s Evening Standard newspaper that the heavily tattooed Taylor, in the tradition of absent-minded scientists, could be “useless” in everyday life.

She told the paper: “He gets so involved in everything that sometimes common sense goes out of the window – like losing the car in the car park, silly things. If you go out with him, you end up going round and round looking for a car parking space. He doesn’t like making decisions.”

This is the work of some dark, demented evil. A man can no longer celebrate a great achievement for humanity without a hit piece coming out from his own bitch sister (with the help of progressive media)

I know not everyone on rvf is a big fan of The Fountainhead, but this Matt Taylor story parallels it in some uncanny ways. Ayn Rand was eccentric and inconsistent, but she was no dummy. For those who haven't read it, there are several instances where brilliant men, Howard Roark and Steven Mallory, unveil beautiful works of architecture and sculpture to the public. Because their works are so unconventional and unfitting to the current trends, the cultural elite (Ellsworth Toohey) releases hit pieces in the newspaper telling the sheeplike public why they should hate and revile these beautiful works, and of course the public falls for it.

This thing, feminism, cultural Marxism, SJWs, are best summed up in a quote from the book, given by Steven Mallory. It's one of my favorite quotes from the book:

Quote:"Listen, what's the most horrible experience you can imagine? To me—it's being left, unarmed, in a sealed cell with a drooling beast of prey or a maniac who's had some disease that's eaten his brain out. You'd have nothing then but your voice—your voice and your thought. You'd scream to that creature why it should not touch you, you'd have the most eloquent words, the unanswerable words, you'd become the vessel of the absolute truth. And you'd see living eyes watching you and you'd know that the thing can't hear you, that it can't be reached, not reached, not in any way, yet it's breathing and moving there before you with a purpose of its own. That's horror. Well, that's what's hanging over the world, prowling somewhere through mankind, that same thing, something closed, mindless, utterly wanton, but something with an aim and a cunning of its own."

This #shirtstorm is so ridiculous I can't even believe reality anymore. A group of guys land a probe on 180000km/h comet in the sky on a 10+year planning and some talentless harpies & losers start bitching about the team leader's shirt, signalling an "unwelcome" community for women and gays.

How can you top that?

SJWs are a stark reminder why jealousy is condemned in every major religion. These people see in every achievement a reminder of their own mediocrity.

^ Using trivial mishaps such as forgetting a parked car and calling him useless just because he is too busy helping mankind and not your bossy ass! That is a low blow.

Looks like the white knights are using this as an opportunity to rev up their approval seeking behavior. Hopefully some feminist out there will give this guy the pat on the head he's so desperate for.

Post: #74

By the way, can some of these SJWs please remind Lena Dunham naked bodies are a big no-no in order to make women & gays feel welcome, I think the writer of the first three seasons of HBO hitshow "Girls" missed the memo.

This shit has really pissed me off. This dude is a very talented man, and most likely the 'nice guy' they say they want. The proto-typical male feminist if you will.

What's happened? He wasn't male feminist 'enough', as we could have predicted...and now he's to the point of crying. It's sad, and I feel sorry for him, he's a complete wreck because of these bullies.

If anyone says this isn't now a culture war, they're wrong. However, this event is the first in many to actually make people sit up and wonder just who they're fighting for. Even in the Guardian, previously-positive commenters are dissenting.
