Rosetta Project "scandal"

Do you mean the shirt thing? It seems to me that it's more appropriate for leisure time than to give a public statement, but I don't think it needs specifically an excuse.

Looks like a typical exaggerated-on-purpose 80s shirt. It's not really sexist or kinky or anything in any way. It's just colorful and has a sporty girl on it.
And frankly I only saw a very interesting scientific/engineering news. One really needs a distorted point of view for that shirt to be sexist, in my opinion.

That shirt looks epic.

Scandal is hardly an appropriate word. I'm all for equality, but feminism is turning into a huge joke if the man can't even wear a shirt without being bashed for it. Fight for something important like the apparent pay difference, I highly doubt this man's shirt is ruining anyone's life.

Just a shirt imo. No need to throw a big fuss. Only because he's famous that they're making a whole load of noise. If I wore it nobody would even say anything.

It was a poorly chosen shirt for such a huge event, but there's nothing inherently wrong with the shirt. Just not suitable for the inevitable amount of press you'll get for doing something as cool as landing on a comet. Its like accepting your Pulitzer in a wife-beater.

Would they be happier if his shirt had guys in speedos?

The guy just landed a harpoon thingy on a comet some 10 years from Earth... I say he gets to wear whatever the hell he wants.

Man, modern feminism is stupid as it can get.

So we have people from all over the world in this forum so my question at you guys is, did the media that you follow in your country report on that? For me here in Germany it is the first time I heard about it. They covered the Rosetta mission and all that but not that guy or his shirt.
Could it be that something like this is more of a big deal in the US than in other countries? [When I googled it the first thing I found was a CNN report.] strawpoll

@thesn00ze
If you don't mind could you tell us were you are from?

Where the heck can I buy that shirt??

Fakn political correctness. If this is scandal I don't want to live on this planet any more. Going to meet Philae on 67P. So disappoint...

My thoughts? I try not to have thoughts about this because I m getting so fucking mad that I cant punch those bitches in the face.

From what I've heard that shirt was made for him by his friend who is female, and she didn't understand that fuss around it either.

oh great scandal he is wearing a shirt of mass-destruction and should be punished by shooting him on an asteroid, unfortunately its against esa-codex to shoot innocent asteroids

Oh my god, someone completely lost his dress sense, it's the end of the world! Seriously, the dude apologized, can we move on to the real sexism and oppression of women that happens in many parts of the world? And get back to rocket science if you're not interested in that topic?

lol first time i heard about the "scandal", you gotta have some problems to care about some shirt, its not even offensive...
if he had some muscle men on his shirt would that be offensive towards men?
anyway he had a pretty cool shirt :D

If this is considered "scandal" I do not want to see how a real one looks like. And a huge scandal..omg, that must be something earth-shattering!

PS
First world problems, sigh.

For a clever man, he's kind of stupid.

.#feministInquisition

just like any type of Inquisition/fanatism IS WRONG to THE BONES

Anyone knows where I can buy that shirt?

Well, I would prefer not to be friends with someone who considers that shirt offensive.
And people saying he got what he deserved... I would have no problem cutting them off completely. I don't like associating with morons.

Here, read this.
As far as I'm concerned, that settles the issue.

It's a tragedy, enough said.

"scandal", are you serious?!? o_O

This is as far from a scandal as anything could get... It's simply so REALLY bored SJW's that decided to create drama in a story that they probably didn't understand, because they felt left out and we all know how SJW's think that they SHOULD be included in everything, ever...

The only thing it's really done, is show how INCREDIBLY petty these types of people and especially the two morons who wrote the original article, really are. lol

I think you need to get new friends...as for my thoughts, its only a shirt.

Meh, I really don't know why people would consider that shirt offensive.
