On being a black female math whiz during the space race

7. Yes!!!

Really, I'm so tired of race always overshadowing gender.

Even when that dipshit radio host (can't remember his name) called the star women's basketball team (sorry, I'm no sports fan, I don't know the team name or anything), a bunch of "nappy headed ho's", ALL the articles protesting that pig focused on race. Barely anyone addressed the MISOGYNY!!!!!!

I read a quote from the woman who's the main character in the movie---she said she always found her gender to be more of a barrier than her race.

I have a black, guy friend who's very attuned to racism and will go off on lectures at the drop of a hat. He is smart as hell and knows his history, science, biblical hypocrisy, and plenty of other things.

He also has no hesitation claiming to be a great feminist and will mansplain to you how he's right and you're wrong if you're a woman trying to discuss sexism, or object to his sexist posts. Sad to say, it's become hard to hang out with him anymore, and I used to love him to pieces.
