tHIS IS THE YEAR WOMEN FINALLY SAID “FUCK YOU” TO SEXISM

YOU GO , GIRL.

'not that you're the genius'

questioning her intelligence when he has that hair cut in 2014

BAAAAAAAM, for fuck’s sake!!

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT MAYIM BIALIK. 

FOR YEARS AS A KID AND TEEN, SHE BALANCED SCHOOL AND ACTING, NEVER ONCE LETTING HER GRADES DROP OR HER CAREER SUFFER. 

SHE GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL AT THE TOP OF HER CLASS, AND WAS ACCEPTED TO HARVARD AND YALE BUT CHOSE TO GO TO UCLA BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO STAY CLOSE TO HER FAMILY. 

SHE EARNED A BACHELORS IN NEUROSCIENCE, HEBREW STUDIES, AND JEWISH STUDIES ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

SHE THEN WENT ON TO GET HER DOCTORATE AND A Ph.D. IN NEUROSCIENCE, WHILE BALANCING AN ACTING CAREER AND MOTHERHOOD.

SHE HAS BEEN THE BUTT OF SO MANY FASHION JOKES AND ANTI-SEMETIC JOKES IN HOLLYWOOD. WHEN PEOPLE SAW HER AS AMY, THEY RIDICULED HER ONLINE. 

BUT SHE STUCK WITH IT. BECAUSE SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING PERSON AND IS HAVING NONE OF THIS “WOMEN CAN’T BE SUCCESSFUL AND SMART BULLSHIT. 

SHE IS ALSO A NOW-SINGLE MOM OF TWO BOYS. AND STILL KEEPS HER CAREERS (YES THAT’S FUCKING PLURAL) ACTIVE.

BUT YET, PEOPLE STILL HAVE THE AUDACITY TO ASK HER STUPID FUCKING SEXIST QUESTIONS THAT THEY WOULD NEVER GIVE, SAY, JIM PARSONS OR JOHNNY GALECKI. 

MAYIM BIALIK IS A FUCKING ICON. 

Mayim is such a fucking badass. she came to my school to speak and she said she was literally nursing her infant while writing her dissertation for her final thesis IN NEUROSCIENCE. she also talked about how so many women in the field of science are discriminated against and how our society basically sexualizes science for no reason and that she hopes she’s a voice for female scientists everywhere. I fucking love this woman

she is such a blessing she does like 1000% natural, child-led parenting and i look up to her so much

All this, plus its DROP of a hat not TOP of a hat. Fucking idiot reporter. 

Can YOU solve calculus whilst balanced on top of a head covering? It is harder than it looks

I watched the video a while back and I am pretty sure he actually said “Not that you aren’t a genius.”

EDIT: [LINK TO A VIDEO WHERE NOBODY SAID ANYTHING VERY ASSHOLISH]

tumblr will forever be the place where fact checking is impossible and insecure women will find any reason to victimize themselves in favor of making men look like assholes, thus defeating the whole original purpose of true feminism. sigh.
