Yeah it's true, the smartness doesn't matter though, it's just that now I can say I'm empowering women while I judge them purely by looks /s
mitchenvar123
At the risk of sounding like a tumblrina, I think its a bit degrading to post pics of scientists purely for how attractive you find them

Do you think the post could be salvaged by linking their biographies?

thefuckwouldiwantacaravanthatsgotnofuckinwheels
this post is interesting to me, makes me wonder about why I consider idolizing a scientist sexually bad, however actresses ok
KeeleonOhms
Because actresses value is based on a still image, these ladies are worth more than a simple image can show.
thefuckwouldiwantacaravanthatsgotnofuckinwheels
i think you could argue against that
brutishgutterdrive
I get your point, but this effectively reduces acting to just looking pretty, which is most certainly not the case.
ShafeenA
But it is a big part of acting though
brutishgutterdrive
Disagree. It's part of being an A-list Hollywood actor, but that's because Hollywood has insane beauty standards, not because 1/2
brutishgutterdrive
it's crucial to the skill set itself. There are tons of super ugly, really great actors, so clearly it's not a requirement. 2/2
KeeleonOhms
Which is why a picture of Megan Fox will make it to FP, but probably not a picture of Judi Dench....
themadprofessor
I don't know... I'd upvote Judi Dench over Megan Fox any day of the week. We're talking class vs trash here.
KeeleonOhms
No amount of acting talent will get Judi Dench cast as April Oniel. But you can get a research grant no matter what you look like.
thefuckwouldiwantacaravanthatsgotnofuckinwheels
exactly, which is why the scientists above make it but not one who is less than a looker, why is one worse than another
Ajcolls
This seems more weird and creepy than anything else. Like, they aren't really famous, you're just posting names of attractive women
Yepitsausername
Also, it's frustrating because they worked so hard for their degrees but they're only on here because they're considered attractive.
NintendoBii
It's not an official peer-reviewed article or anything, just some random post on the internet. I agree with your point tho
FabulousBadass
But would you (or anyone) have been interested if they were unattractive? Unless they've cured cancer they're not interesting. Sad fact.
Yepitsausername
I would be much more interested if there was some information on what projects they're working on or something more than just pictures.
BBmathlvr
I'm not sure how well intentioned this is, but highlighting scientists for their beauty doesn't seem very empowering to me.
WhoStoleMySweetroll
There's millions of men who would do any number of things just because those babes said to. That's POWER, buddy.

That's SAD, buddy

Wait you mean an image hosting website votes on things based on their appearance?!

kingjamesversion2point0
Yeah, I'm a male scientist and no one wants a picture of me!
Cherrybomb29
If one person wants a picture of you will you post it?
kingjamesversion2point0
I have posted one. That's all I will post.
mynewestusername
It could go either way. It definitely breaks preconceptions about those fields, but at the same time the context is pretty bad.
radieon
Yep. Beauty is always a subjective observation, and only singles out those who are not approving among a consensus.
schopier
It teaches an important lesson too: the most beautiful people get all the attention no matter the walk-of-life.
nonob1005
You probably just said that because you're not one of them

Exactly. We as humans are genetically predisposed to search out the best genetics to procreate with and continue the species.
ScicleX
Now that's some true in your face fucking science that settles this entire debate on both sides. Scientists of ANY attractiveness or gender/
ScicleX
Will be appreciated if the onlooker values their Science. As such attractive people are appreciated if the onlooker values their beauty./
ScicleX
Creating an agenda and war out of opinions formed from natural instinct is the real issue here, and those perpetuating it need to stop.
StonerCommando
It's not meant to be empowering for them, but enlightening for us. It attacks the old tropes that separate beauty and brains.
Schmedes
Notice how you said "old" trope. Nobody believes that shit anymore. We know there are smart and pretty people and most here are neither.
StonerCommando
I'm pretty sure that all those letters after their names indicate they're pretty smart, whatever your opinion of their appearance...
Schmedes
I meant most of Imgur...
StonerCommando
Thanks for clarifying. But the trope has mutated: now it's "you appreciate their beauty, you're disrespecting their brains." Toxic, IMO.
fauxfrog
You'd be surprised what people are still willing to believe; an old trope isn't always a dead one.
ciarraiabu
And it's totally not just op whoring them for points
twofishtails
Which is the only reason, deep down fundamentally, anyone ever posts anything on Imgur, anyway!
ciarraiabu
Want proof? Why are there no good looking male scientists in this post? Because then the horny little fucks in usersub wouldn't upvote him

PartyMagician
Even if/though OP is "whoring" it, it can be enlightening for us anyway. And males don't have the "either beauty or brain" trope as much
ciarraiabu
Anyone that thinks all beautiful women are stupid is a retard, anyone that thinks that mindset is normal is also a retard
StonerCommando
Precisely. It's about what we as the viewer take away from it.
StonerCommando
So? You could say that about any of the 'educational' images on here. Only people not playing for points are those who don't upload at all.
ciarraiabu
There's a difference between reposting an infographic and posting portrait photos of women without their permission in an album format and
ciarraiabu
Effectively saying 'look! These tits have brains!' Fucking disgusting
StonerCommando
Or you could say look! These tits have brains! Learn from them! Why are people so disgusted by womens bodies anyway?
themadprofessor
Jesus Christ, these images were all online and, as such, fall under fair use rules. It's not like I took photos of them from five (1/2)
doctorbees
As a female scientist, this list actually kind of creeps me out. The comments most of all.
ebulating
As a smart woman you really should better understand how much men care about women's appearance.
HelpfulHomo
read that as moist of all and made myself sad. I think I've been here too long.
sonicpet
As a male, I can say that this also creeps me out.
brokencrockerypants
Hey fellow sister scientist, forget about those comments! I don't mind this list, cuz I get the opposite in RL: "You're lying, you're 1/2
brokencrockerypants
1.5 /2 too cute to be a scientist!" And people treat me like I'm stupid before they actually get to know me. I think what @OP is trying to
brokencrockerypants
1.75/2 show is a) stereotypes aren't true. and b) just a poking a bit of harmless fun at what people call 'science' on Imgur (ie porn).
brokencrockerypants
2/2 Don't take those comments seriously, there are creeps everywhere,and they'd be there even if @OP wrote about the work these women do! :)

From this post, I enjoy that female scientists are celebrated. We need more of them! Sincerely, male nerdy guy trying to be nice

popejubal
It's just a shame that they're being celebrated for being hot scientists rather than being celebrated for being scientists.
doctorbees
I appreciate the sentiment, but check out some of the comments. These women did not work their asses off to be degraded like this.
CatDogBeer
Agreed. I'm just as dirty as the next guy, but... gimme a smart girl any day, that's more attractive than any physical feature
marshmallowballoon
You're missing the point, it's not about attractiveness

It's women that don't look like trolls on the frontpage would did you expect?

The comments are awful, seriously making me consider deleting my account. I don't want to be associated with these people in any way

Where the fuck did you get that from?
StonerCommando
The criticism of a post about intelligent women? I'm assuming you're some cishet white guy who feels emasculated.
scoobydeezy
I don't disagree. But "scientist" is imgur slang for "pornstar." It doesn't make this post any less inappropriate, but - context.
Sumpte
No it isn't. That isn't even how that retarded slang works.
doctorbees
This post is about literal scientists, not imgur slang.
KeeleonOhms
That's the joke.
scoobydeezy
Read the title again. This post is meant to bait people expecting porn, and the 'joke' is that it's literal scientists. That's the point.

And like I said - I'm not defending it, just trying to bring some context. Welcome to imgur.

Unfortunately in the last half year or so it's been overcome by horny 14 year olds, which doesn't make for a nice community.

It's hard to get mad at a "community" based on an image hosting site for being superficial.
Sumpte
Superficial is one thing, what I'm referring to is trying to make every community into a porn dump.
doctorbees
The site itself is fine; I'm here for cute animals, funny gifs, and puns. I'm not here for the cringey comments about women.

cute animals ? Don't check my favorities ;)

ESPECIALLY when these women have worked so hard to be respected and here are a bunch of people degrading them.
orientalsausage
Yea, I bet they worked it hard, alright
IPutAHexOnYou4c6f7665206d65
to be fair,when an imgurian gets laid, it makes the frontpage and they worship a dude who "upvotes ass".It's not the crowd you wanna impress
StonerCommando
Noone has explained how finding someone abstractly attractive somehow degrades them. Is the Mona Lisa defiled by centuries of attention?
doctorbees
Not talking about the ones calling them pretty, I'm referencing the comments e.g. "oh I haven't seen her butthole" or "do they do porn".
themadprofessor
As @OP, I get where you're coming from. This list was more of an attempt to go against the "scientist" posts we see here.
themadprofessor
Unfortunately, human nature is human nature, and people act like cretins under the false security of internet anonymity.

I get the impression you are referring to other people on Imgur, without realising the irony.

You only selected the good looking ones, you did 0 good. Post scientists, men and women of various looks and ages. That's how you go against
KeeleonOhms
Do you honestly believe this same post with unnatractive females or even men would have made it to the FP? Imgur is about points that's all.
themadprofessor
Not when the point is to juxtapose against the "scientists" posts out there.
ciarraiabu
No, of you were trying to 'juxtapose' against them you WOULD have picked the less good looking scientists, but then again if you'd done /1
ciarraiabu
You wouldn't be getting all these points now would you...? /2

Oh thank you for telling me what my intentions were. I'm so glad I have you for that because it's not like I have my own thoughts on (1/2)
doctorbees
I appreciate trying to recognize the achievements of female scientists, but you seem to only have picked the most attractive of us.
doctorbees
Recognize us for our work, not our looks.
Trumpelstiltskin
Right.. Wasn't that the joke though, to throw the perverts off?
KeeleonOhms
Do you honestly believe this would have made it to FP, if they weren't attractive, or even men?
KeeleonOhms
This is an image hosting site. Its literally the most superficial concept to base a "community" around.
themadprofessor
And if I had gone and picked the unattractive ones, I would have been accused of perpetuating stereotypes. My post was meant to show (1/2)
themadprofessor
that these women are success not because of their looks, but despite it. Lets be fair, in the scientific community, the better (2/3)
themadprofessor
looking a woman is, the dumber she is assumed to be. It's a sad stereotype, but still true. These women broke that stereotype.
doctorbees
If I were to make a post like this, it'd be a list of the discoveries by female scientists. Eliminates the creepy and ups the cool factor.
themadprofessor
Yes, but it wouldn't have the same juxtaposition with the "scienctist" posts as this one does.
