Overflowing Bunsen burners?

This was a completely ridiculous video. I can’t figure out what it was trying to say or to who.

If it was played to me without sound or without any other information about it’s origin, I’d I have thought it was saying “This science stuff is sooo like weird. We’re girlzz so we’d just make it all, like, blow up! Hey you unbeautiful people in labs, look how cool we are!! Yo Hydrogen!!” Or something. I’ve no idea.

I wonder what Marie Curie would make of this?

Good to see Ms Geoghegan-Quinn earning her ?243,000 a year plus expenses gig. Do they not use focus groups before releasing such patronising, sexist material? Wonder who the Agency is? Do any readers know and is there a connection to the commissioner?

This video is rustling my jimmies… I have now completely lost control of my jimmies.

We have to stop the Máire Geoghegan-Quinn.

I have a 12 year old girl who is starting secondary school and she wants to do forensics. She has been interested in forensics for the last year, with many secondary schools cutting down on subjects like physics and chemistry you will find there will be little oppertunity in ireland to study science. Thankfully my daughters school is keeping the subjects but for how long???

Why not go into the schools, particularly all girls schools, and ask why there’s such a low uptake of optional math and science subjects, rather than telling them they should be involved in it because they’ve a vagina?

The sooner society faces the fact that some people just don’t want to be involved in some things, be it politics or work areas, the better. This new culture of gender quotas and trying to push people into certain areas is embarrassing.

What about, “Bin collection, it’s a girl thing!” being the next one, since there seems to be f**k all women involved in that?

Talk about missing the point! (the video I mean). Don’t they want to attract girls who want an intellectual challenge? Wrong target audience I think!

What role has Máire Geoghegan-Quinn in this?
See “Nature” magazine’s blog, where she appears to defend it

She should resign in shame (and for her incompetence in relation to researche, innovation, and science).

European Commission: “We didn’t want to attract strongly motivated and intellectually ambitious women to do science, so we decided to market our campaign at shallow, self-obsessed fashion victims instead.”

Wow. The video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFvh9zbjYeE is pretty crazy.
Sexualising young girls, with lots of phallic & orgasmic imagery. I wonder how much it cost and how many people it had to go throw for approval.
So bad it’s funny!

18 seconds in, what hermione grainger did next….

One word: overreaction

I wonder who won the lovely lady competition? :)

(throws eyes to heaven)nnYes lipstick and make-up is forced on girls all the time and they hate it !!nnBig bully men somewhere trying to perpetuate a stereotype, its just not fair, because we all know girls prefer not to have anything to do with cosmetics.

Something for the Daily Torygraph obsessives of the alleged tyranny of Politically Correctness to get worked up about. Pass them more ice lollies.
