You know how it goes, not all white males… but almost always it is a white male.
This guy probably wouldn’t have even considered insulting a speaker that way if she wasn’t a woman. In a scientific setting it’s one thing disagreeing with an argument, and attacking the person proposing the argument.
OMG, how dense can you be? You can be a sexist black men. But the chances that you will be invited to a NASA conference to insult a female scientist in the first place is mediated by your chances of being a highly educated scientist yourself which is limited by systemic racism still inherent in STEM and the education system of the US.
So, statistically speaking, it would still be more likely to be a white male, the one doing the insulting.
So you’re saying everyone can be racist or sexist but only white people are established? That’s fair enough. I’m pretty anti establishment myself because there’s a million ways that power gets abused.
Yet somehow it is true that the vast majority of smug people who are confidently wrong are white males. Maybe someday we can have equality in the ratio of being smug while confidently wrong.

Not true, African American males are just as sexist as white American males.
Yes, but until recently they weren’t even accepted into colleges, were they? Almost like oppression is intersectional or something.
EDIT: refer to my response to Mango. Y’all way stupider/bigoted than I gave you credit for in the first place.
You gotta be educated to be sexist?

The irony of this comment
Because that’s the group most likely to commit misogyny in the workplace? Especially in male dominated fields.
When someone commits a robbery and they happen to be the race that commits robberies the most often, do you feel the need to point that out?
What about cis white females that identify as centrists?
What about them? Do you have a study to share? Or just making up straw men?
Just like the OP?
Did you just assume the straw person’s gender?
