Where's your evidence that she ever did any "pivotal work"?  Not even Pierre
or Mittag-Leffler even hinted this was the case.

The only thing that was "COMMON KNOWLEDGE" then is that she was a lab flunky
who also happened to be the wife of the lab manager (who had learned much
from his own father, Becquerrel, and a host of other associates Marie didn't
even know).

What you feminazis "think" is "COMMON KNOWLEDGE" today is based on the most
naked spin story in history.  To get there, you must studiously ignore that
the STUPIDITY of the Curie's was finally discovered and they were summarily
FIRED by the Prime Minister Georges Bidault [not "the Nazis" as you claim]
who removed him without explanation from his position as high commissioner.
A few months later Irene was also deprived of her position as commissioner
in the Commissariat a 1'Energie Atomique. They devoted themselves henceforth
to their own laboratory work and to teaching, from which not a shred of
science or discovery ever emerged.

Not even the Nobel Committee used the words "pivotal" or "travesty" with
respect to Marie, so where did these words come from?  Zionists?  Feminazis?
Jews?  Certainly not normal people.

NO writings of Pierre ever use these words, refer to his lab flunky [and
wife] as "pivotal", suggest that the Nobel Committee's decision was a
"travesty".  This is pure feminazi spin, and you're buying it just like it's
snake oil.

Knowing that 55% of the responses of American 12th grade girls were either
statistically insignificant or lower than if they'd just guessed, that of
the 45% of the responses which were statistically significant, they scored
higher than boys on only 2.6% of the test and lower on 24.4%, yet only 14%
of American women believe men are more intelligent than women, ought to make
even the most die-hard "liberal" like you question the wisdom of such a
policy?

No?

You "liberals" [read: feminazis, jews, niggers, faggots, and other muds]
don't seem to comprehend the magnitude of the problem.  This ONE question,
H01 http://christianparty.net/timssh01.jpg  on which girls scored higher
than boys (42% vs. 38%, a 4% difference) involved no calculations, no
reasoning skills, no intelligence, no demonstration of performance.  It was
a pure memorization question.  All they had to do was remember a simple
physics principle, and 4% more girls than boys remembered it.  This means
that girls WERE *taught* physics principles, right along with boys (if not
even more effectively than boys).

But the instant reasoning, intellect, calculations, or intelligence were
required, the girls froze up.  They not only got it WRONG, but the amount by
which they scored lower than if they'd just guessed exceeded the 3% standard
error on 23% of the questions!

Without the memorization questions, these girls would have scored ZERO.

And you don't think that putting them "at the top of businesses" isn't why
the stock market just lost $7.2 TRILLION of its value?

Why not?
