If it makes anyone feel better, his career will be fine. Plenty of institutions will fall over themselves to hire any Nobel laureate.

My Facebook home page was full of raging females sharing this story and twitter was going crazy with ladies in lab coats ridiculing this man when the story broke. I have yet to see one female on my Facebook apologise or share this TRUE story on Facebook and no ladies in lab coats twittering about how wrong they were to ridicule this man, and cause a shitsorm that got him fired... No female campaign to get #get-him-his-job-back

To be fair to the "raging females", the full context of the quote has not hit the metaphorical fan like the shortened version did. I've posted it on my own page and asked for responses...I'll see what happens. Having worked in environments where the attitude he was joking about was the norm, I understand why it was such a hot-button topic. I find the extended version of the quote less inflammatory (obviously), but I still think it was in poor taste especially given his influence in the field.

Yes. I can see John Galt's refuge so clearly now.

Nobel prize winner Tim Hunt delivers toast. This bitch goes online and says he thinks we still live in Victorian times, etc. Someone else who was at the speech brings to light the fact that he was clearly making a joke and that this bitch intentionally took things out of context. Upon closer examination, we learn that Bitchface McGee falsified almost her entire CV, and the two other people who supported her in trying to destroy Tim Hunt's reputation suddenly "can't recall" the rest of his speech (aka the part that made it clear he was making a joke).

Surely this guy has grounds for unfair dismissal? These SJWs are toxic; with social media they can whip up a frenzy of 'outrage' in a short period of time without the need for actual facts.
