- If you think that beauty #pageants are an unlikely venue for #feminist #activism , then you don’t know enough about the NASA beauty pageants, or about the women at NASA. NASA held a #beautypageant in most of its Centers, until a group of women at the Johnson Center put a stop to it.
Here are links to the books mentioned at the end:

I liked it when Jeannie Nelson won the NASA beauty contest
I believe that that was fan fic, and not an actual episode of the show.
And yet, 50 years on if you disregard medicine there are barely any women imployed in the STEM fields or working towards degrees.
So women don't choose to pursue STEM degrees. Is it time for even more social engineering (no pun intended)?
The question of women in STEM is ridiculous. It is self selection. I've never seen a woman pushed away from engineering because she was not a man.
@@eddarby469 - The video is referring to the situation in the 1950s; not the situation today. Your comment may be referring to the comment above, rather than to the video itself. I can only be clear about the content of the video itself.
"Men and women publish a comparable number of [scientific] papers per year and have equivalent career-wise impact for the same total number of publications. This suggests the productivity and impact of gender differences are explained by different publishing career lengths and dropout rates."
From: Historical comparison of gender inequality in scientific careers across countries and disciplines

Also, the correct spelling is "employed," not "imployed."
@@KnowWhat-1234 I do my best proofreading after I hit the enter key.
That article you cited is papers in ALL of the STEM fields collectively. As noted, medical is the only STEM field where women are not a gross minority. I am under the impression, correct me if I am in error please, that in the medical field women outnumber men slightly among those who are working towards degrees and that among those actually employed the percentage skews with age, older tending towards more men, younger tending towards more women.
And yet, I am not sure that the lack of women in science, technology, and engineering is necessarily a bad thing. Or at least, not something which requires corrective measures. Women are being given the same opportunities, they are just not electing to take them. This could be something as simple as there being a perception among women that these fields are not as desirable.
We never went back to the Moon.
The fact that we never went back to the Moon has everything to do with Congressional appropriations and nothing to do with the subject of this video. I understand the point you are trying to make, and I will say that it is as ahistorical as it is misogynistic.
Does video really represent what is normal? Look at UA-cam. I think we make videos of what is unusual as well
The point I was making was, pictures show you life in-the-moment, rather than with the perspective of years, and that slants that that perspective brings. That is a difficult concept to put forward in a few words. I could write several paragraphs on that subject (and I imagine I have not done it fully here either), but there's not time for that in a video presentation.
And look at where the rise of feminism has gotten us as a society; angry single women and lonely single men.
angry single men and,happy single women
And the winner is…. The Patriarchy! Men now put on dresses to invade every female space in western society. The grand daughters of these strong feminists from the 60’s and 70’s will kick, scream and fight if men wearing dresses are not counted as women and allowed every benefit that was won in the feminist movement. How the hell did this happen?
@@ldy2hzlft1111 No. Frustrated single men and a lot of women who are hitting the wall of no longer being "desirable partners", this grossly reducing their chances of suitably fulfilling the breeding prerogative by the time they are in their 30s. It's a part of the equation that the writers of Idiocracy missed.

Protest doesn't translate directly into policy! And when it does regardless, it's more problematic than the issue they sought to address.
Is the world any better without beautiful woman?
Thank you❤ After 2nd, 3rd, and now 4th wave feminism is society any better? I don't think so.
@@guerralg63 Probably due to the increase in socially inept incels.
