Lio Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 The sad truth about this is it will now haunt him for the rest of his career. If he is in any position of authority over female workers this could be used against him.Ditto for if he ever decides to go into academia to pass on his knowledge. Just google his name and look what comes up - this bullshit and accusations that he is a misogynist. I hope not. The people that shout the hardest, get the most attention, but I refuse to believe they represent more than a small minority. I keep on hoping common sense will prevail.Anyway, if that shirt tells me anything, it's that he LOVES women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 OK so, lemme get this straight, he's worn a shirt with some crumpet on it annnnnnd some people in Twitter got the hump so now he's crying? To me they're all cunts then quite frankly, and him on an even level, what the fuck you crying about for you big bastard, honestly, fuckin' stand up and take a good look at yourself in the mirror, you look like the Pacman that ate Kevin Smith, what you fuckin' crying about? So what was wrong with the shirt, did they have their bristols out of what? In a world where this is allowed I say let the man who LANDED A SPACESHIP ON A COMET wear whatever he wants. Yeah, you go stand over by Kevin Smith doppelgänger and I'll get in the queue behind Kimberley here Don't let downzy see that pic. Google says No!

tomfriend Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Perhaps part of the reason this guy is such a successful and pioneering scientist is down to the fact that he doesn't spend his mornings fretting over trivial shit like whether a bunch of whinging imbeciles will take offense to his wardrobe. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl_morris Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 The way he apologised looked so awkward.The shirt was not offensive to woman. It was offensive to fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hah, copied and pasted wrong link (was sending that to a friend showing him that now apparently he's a racist for going bird-watching and not inviting me along).Meant to copy and paste that alohaland link Dazey posted, it was sold out a few hours ago!Supply and demand, the wonders of capitalism!Sold out my arse!!!! http://www.alohaland.com/whats-new/gunner-girls On another note: kind of scary to see that XL is one of the smaller sizes.XL is the only one available now. But I guess with Hawaiian shirts it's fashionable to have a loose fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Surprised by some of these responses.I don't think the shirt should have any bearing on his work as a scientist, but I do think he's a 100% twat for wearing it, and I wouldn't blame a woman for being uncomfortable working with him if he were wearing it at work.

Maybe it should become the ESA uniform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
