I’d say this was an entirely appropriate response to Nobel laureate Tim Hunt’s remarks about women in labs, which included this:
“Let me tell you about my trouble with girls. Three things happen when they are in the lab: you fall in love with them, they fall in love with you, and when you criticise them, they cry.”
Oh, har, har. Yuck it up, as Hunt has since resigned from his honorary, no-pay position in London.

I do have to give him credit for owning the problem: ““Let me tell you about my trouble with girls….” He doesn’t actually SAY it’s universal, but that it’s HIS trouble with “girls.” Hope he’s learned a lesson from this.
And good response, Jac.
