European Commission Draws Flack For “Sexy Female Scientist” Video
25 Jun 2012 by Jasmine Stone in Culture, Politics, Science, Very Cool, Vibe, Video, World
The European Commission is drawing pretty widespread condemnation for releasing a video — ostensibly aimed at getting girls into science — which pretty much depicts female scientists as sexy models in short skirts who hang around bunsen burners, giggling. Take a look at what lady scientists apparently look like in Europe after the jump.
Says ScienceHabit,
A male scientist watching them from behind his microscope doesn’t seem to mind that none of them are wearing https://outdoortvclassics.com/cheap-accutane-online/ safe lab attire—he just pops his glasses on for a better look. The rest of the video is a mish-mash of heels, nail polish, lipstick, and sexily smoldering Erlenmeyer flasks, arbitrarily punctuated by girly giggles.
The Commission denies that the now-pulled video is a parody. Which is weird, because if we were to make a parody video about gender stereotypes and science, it would look exactly like this.
