So, on this shirt-wearing, comet-landing scientist... · 5:03am Nov 16th, 2014
Sir, I cannot believe you apologized to these worthless people. Shame on you.
And to you feminazis who are saying "no sympathy" because he wore a shirt with semi-naked women and guns:
Are you saying he deserved it because of what he was wearing?
Just... Read that back to yourself again and again and again, you hypocritical, insecure plebeians.

Wait... what?
Well said miles.
2597800 http://www.theverge.com/2014/11/13/7213819/your-bowling-shirt-is-holding-back-progress This is what he is referring to.
Grasping at straws now I guess... over a shirt...
2597807 Well, then...
Well I for one am glad that sexism is at such an incredible all time low in the world that this was the highest thing on the priority list.
The only problem I have with the shirt is that it was terribly unprofessional to wear during a TV interview while representing the ESA. I just want to clarify: I have no problem with the shirt or the general fact he was wearing it. I have a problem with the context in which he was wearing it.

I prefer to just think that the ESA is awesome for letting someone with a load of tattoos and that shirt to speak for them, but you do, sadly, make a point
What? This guy landed on a fucking comet, his clothes would the last thing I'd be concerned with.
Though I must admit, his shirt is fugly.
Okay, yeah, the shirt was probably not the best thing to wear for this particular occasion. But this is the reason there aren't many woman scientists right now? A fucking shirt? Not societal gender roles that only started getting deconstructed recently, not actual misogynist behavior, it's the fucking shirt. And people wonder why feminist activism has a bad reputation. Maybe it's because there are people in your movement that are acting like THIS!
And as the article itself (!) points out, the shirt was designed by (gasp) A WOMAN! And given to him by THAT SAME WOMAN! Who is just as confused why everyone seems to think this is some sort of attack on women.
Sorry, I know they're not going to read this, this is pointless, just... Goddamn, these are the people setting feminism back.
And you wonder why 'Feminism' was winning Time's 'What word should be banned' contest with over 50% of the votes. (At least until the SJWs started bawling and they deleted it, going 'oh shit, we didn't think it'd actually win'.)
Fucking feminazis and SJCs are at it again. Any man who isn't openly gay or a cuckold — I have no issue with either, by the way — is, by default, a misogynist and a bigot.
He wore a bowling shirt with pictures of women... so he clearly hates women and actively discourages them from working in scientific areas. Apparently, he's the sole reason women don't work in science.
I guess I've just been misguided my whole life. These people are clearly quite rational, and their opinions on this man's attire are most certainly spot-on. Or some shit. It's just assholes ranting on the Internet. This'll probably be tied in with Gamergate, as does every feminazi bitchfit.
miles was spot on. He shouldn't have apologised for his choice of clothing while, technically, on a break from work.
