et. al

I wouldn't mess with her, she contains multitudes!

What does “human drivers of fire” mean?

She is McCarty for sure but I doubt that she is et al too ...

I always roll my eyes whenever I see a "you can't do that because you're a woman" character in a show, and then I'm always reminded that these people actually exist

ITT people baww at the mere mention of race and gender, and proceed to behave as if the problem is other people being too sensitive about race and gender.

And then everyone applauded..

But seriously if I witnessed this, I might actually applaud because that is a pretty badass bit of trivia to get to whip out.

Hilarious. I actually witnessed this online when someone tried to “well actually” another user and it turned out that user was the author of the paper they cited.

Any kind of interruption seems rude AF, and that’s without even considering the sexism and insinuation that she’s incompetent.

What’s the norm for the audience in situations like this? Raising your hand? Holding any questions/comments until the end?

Funny, but what does the skin color have to do with the situation?

That et al is the best scientist, they’re in all the papers.

That man's name? Albert Einstein

As a white dude, I would be horribly embarrassed to do something like that. I hope the guy in the story learned a lesson from it.

...later that evening, that's when this poor wounded white male post doc subscribed to the Ben Shapiro podcast.

God damn crackers

He really said "why don't you ask kitchen?" and she responded with "I am kitchen."

Image failing to load here :/

What does skin color and gender have to do with this?

Is McCarty, not et al. (unless bipolar?)

I find it interesting how writing "a male" instead of man is a good way of pointing out "sexist mansplaining" and writing "a female" is dehumanizing (which i actually agree on). I will not deny that there are many sexists out there who are mansplaining or see women as less knowledgable. Without knowing the person ("offending") however, i think we would be wise to use occam's razor which would lead us to the conclusion that this is a prime case of the dunning kruger effect (which would also apply if sexism is involved).

Mycomment however has to be seen as mansplaining because i sadly have a dick between my legs. Sorry for that.

Why is 'race' relevant here? What the fuck is wrong with Americans and how did they become so astonishingly self flagellating.

That said... this sounds like one of those fantasy scenarios where "then everyone clapped".

Just on the insecure posture of this tweet, I'm prepared to bet cold hard cash that he asked her for clarity or something with a informational challenge "but does x not come from y?" Or whatever and she manufactured his reasoning and the rest to feel good. She doesn't seem to know what et al means either.

DEAR GOD! The patriarchy! A successful woman...who's probably rich and living in a nice house and owns a nice car who may have not put her face out there that much wasn't recognized for who she was immediately.

Also who was that guy? what are his qualifications? Has he achieved anything?

I suspect this story didn't happen. How could you be so bad and speaking about your own work that someone questions it like that?

Wow, so she managed to clone herself and use the clones to write a paper?

Shouldn't it be "We are McCarty et al" and wouldn't that make her have DID? Also /c/thathappened

Why's she flexing about a paper that a white male couldn't understand?

Also science is full of arrogant people, both males and females.

Clearly the race and genre are both only being used in this sentence for bullying purposes. What could very well be just "a random guy" was specifically changed to "a white male" to really attack the race and genre mentioned. If it was another race or genre it would be called racist. The "white males" won't accept this blatant racism many more years without standing up against it, trust me. But then they will be called racist. They are not racist only while they accept being bullied and accept racism towards them. This hate speech against white males is being completely normalized in america daily. And being used in comments, sentences and now even books in such a "normalized" way that it disgusts me. Just because whites are not a minority, doesn't mean we can bully and be racist to them. And in this exact sentence, it triggers me so much that the "while male" adjective was used with the clear intent of bullying and image degradation of the mentioned race and genre.

When will we, as humans of all colors, stand up against racism against whites (and especially males) that is strangely being more and more accepted as a normal thing daily?

Edit: ofc I am being hugely downvoted. Society can't understand that bullying against whites actually exists. She just didn't need AT ALL to use the race and gender in her post. Minorities and inequalities between genres exist and should (and are) be solved. Women and all other races deserve all the same as white males do. But white males don't need to be bullied in exchange or used in jokes like this like if they are the modern punching bag of standup comedy.

My friend, a girl, was having trouble loading a large pumpkin into the back of her subaru hatchback. I, a boy, offered to help, but she refused.

After 5 minutes of this her strained whimpering became too much to bear. So I put the pumpkin in there for her.
