He was an honorary professor. That means he basically wasn't working there any more and was just getting a small salary so the university could keep another "sir" on the rolls and maybe have him teach a grad level course on a pet topic once every five years.

When your job is to be a figure head it's best to not make off the cuff potentially offensive remarks.

When told his remarks were offensive to women he should have said "oh I guess women cry at criticism outside of labs too", then disappeared in a puff of smoke.

I don't see something like this as warranting termination (though it does warrant action), except he was an honorary professor so he was probably doing .00003% of a thing anyway.

for the time being what we do is work through social media to render unemployable all ppl who express these offensive ideas. soon enough we'll be able to root out impure thoughts through brain scans and other biophysical measurements, at which point we can actively begin to remove the cancer of bigotry from the face of the earth. the glorious future of a world citizenry unified in thought and action will put even ants and mole rats to shame.

You are thinking of Watson, not Crick.

As far as I know, Crick was well regarded.

Watson has a long history of being a dick to pretty much everyone.

In The Double Helix he shamelessly admits being willing to pimp out his sister to another scientist (marriage iirc) for the networking benefit.

why do men seem to have forgotten that you keep the women out because as soon as you let them in they start opening their goddamn mouth and everything goes to hell

i mean the garden shed exists solely as a place for men to go do stuff without women giving them poo poo, this is our cultural inheritance here
