How Nancy Hopkins and her tape measure revealed the extent of sexism in U.S. science. Really!

Very nice, feminist story or narrative! This story was reported in the news of Nature journal!

I bet, it does not hold up under scrutiny! E.g. were males and females in similar circumstances compared? I bet not!

According to Wikipedia she also claimed that the famous Nobel Prize winner of DNA fame Francis Crick put his hands on her breasts? Was this real or wishful thinking? Wikipedia does not report Mr. Crick's response or whether Mr. Crick was accused by any other women. The Wikipedia entry on Mr. Crick himself does only mention this incident reported by Ms. Hopkins and no other similar incidents! You have to wonder!

Men watch out! In the battle of the sexes, each sex resorts to what they do best!

How Nancy Hopkins and her tape measure revealed the extent of sexism in science When the MIT molecular biologist quantified how much more lab space men were given, she unleashed a US-wide reckoning about how women are held back in academia.
