My favorite part is how his way of apologizing/backpedaling was to say that he was just trying to be honest. Open mouth, insert foot.

If a woman said she couldn't work because men were around she would be fired too. Quite possibly the stupidest thing I have ever heard anybody say

what are you talking about?
managers have been fired simply for verbally scolding female employees because they cant do their job. yet if i complained about my boss yelling at me i would be laughed at
also, zappa, you call posts "stupidest thing you have ever heard" damn near every day. you should think up a new insult

this is what he said -

I'm talking about what that guy said, not a post. Really? You can't work because there's a woman in the room? You are bringing up irrelevancies.

It was out of context aswell. Wasnt even a full quote. LOOK AT THOSE TRIPLE DOTS! But yea it was joke about himself because that happened to him so it was an in joke really that spread to far and was taken out of context.

That's the latest from the stumbling, bumbling from the Nobel Prize-winning Tim Hunt, quoted in an article at TPM titled "Female Scientists Show Just How 'Distractingly Sexy' They Can Be," which includes a lot of #distractinglysexy #womeninSTEM tweeting by female scientists, showing themselves (with intended humorous effect) looking (supposedly) unsexy while doing scientist work. For example:

(i shortened your quote, because the second half of it was just some random persons opinion)
okay, so thats what he said.
i still don't see the fireable offense. he was telling the truth. denying the fact that falling in love with a co-worker is disruptive makes no sense. it is disruptive.
i still dont see where he says that women shouldn't be allowed to work in sciences

He says he can't work with them because they distract him. Fine. Now he doesn't have to. The sharia prick. This is precisely the rationale for burkas.

i dont recall him talking about women putting sheets over their heads, but i wont argue about this dumb shit any more
all i can say, is that in my opinion, its bullshit that some old acedemic got fired over one sentence. he was asked a question and answered with his actual thoughts instead of some PC, cookie-cutter answer.
oh god, hes hitler!!!
please

I usually agree with a lot of the stuff you say Zappa but you are way out in left field on this one. This guy really did not say anything remotely sexist about women.

Yep. It is a media fiction
i don't really get the whole accusation as "rape culture", i just see it as "punks who take advantage of women are scum".
same goes both ways, when women are scum to men. whatever.

I agree with this observation but ask is that rationale actually irrational? He is making a commentary that at least in some instances, the possibility of chemical romance in the laboratory has led to distraction and deviation from the focus needed to to the experiments, deviations that certainly would never occur in a strictly heterosexual white male lab, where order and efficiency is unshakable.

The real question is, if you have consensual sex with a feminist, and no one is around to see it, is it still rape?
Yes, Yes it is.
