Neil deGrasse Tyson Brings Science, Anti-Sexism Together Like Chocolate And Boobs

You fucking love science. And you hate sexism at the New York Times! Well, here is Neil deGrasse Tyson to bring the two together like chocolate and boobs.

See, this lady "scientist" (hahahaha as if) was being interviewed by the New York Times, and they were all like, whyfore no husband you are lesbian? This was a very popular question in the1890s1990s and 2000s, when everybody was asking hilariously unqualified W. Supreme Court nominee Harriet Meyers the same thing (to be fair, Meyers did have a mullet once).

The head of the imaging team for the Cassini mission to Saturn, Carolyn Porco, told astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson that New York Times editors asked a reporter to delve into her love life while working on a profile focusing on her career.

“[The reporter] submits it to her editors and they come back and say, ‘Find out why Porco’s not married,’” Porco said in an audio clip posted by deGrasse Tyson. “I said to her, ‘See? I told you so. I knew this kind of thing was going to happen,’ because I knew they would be very sexist.”

 Sexism at the New York Times? Sounds like someone needs a dick in her mouth! Porco, how's your stroganoff?
