An example of the effects of the historical male dominance in science

The cyclotron. Such an elegant machine. And what’s the best idea that’s been come up with for what to do with them?

“Hey! Lets make things go really really fast and smash them into each other! Yeah!”
[sub]I just learnt basically how cyclotrons work in my physics lecture today.[/sub]

Oh, I thought you were serious…

One of the best examples of reverse male dominance is the Curies. Pierre was working on what would later amount to the piezoelectric effect while Marie began work on radioactivity. He was so intrigued by her work he left his and joined her.
