Probably people who have heard of these scientists being recently credited for their work.

The phrase "all the credit" is a bit sensationalist, and it's too easy to poke holes in, although I do concede that "Most of the credit" is vague and "All of the Nobel Prize recognition and prize money / peer accolades" is a bit too wordy.

It's important that we don't weaken the cause by easily disprovable exaggeration. These scientists did not get nearly enough credit; true.

Half this list is nobel prizes going to supervisors when the woman in question was either a student or dead, neither of which qualify for a nobel prize.

It's good to stand against discrimination, but there is no need to embellish the truth.

Have you met men on the internet lately? like a 1/3 chance of intense misogyny.

Lmao what

If you think ONE THIRD of men are not just misogynistic, which would be laughable enough, but "intensely" so, you are absolutely the problem, not them
