Considering the prevalence of the church and its properties at the time, there really was no “correct” forum for Galileo to promote his findings - everywhere is disrespectful! He was pushed out of every forum he went to. This guy has the same problem - you will always just tell him he’s in the wrong place.

Well no. You're assuming a lot about me. I've expressed an opinion on exactly one place which I think is wrong. You're probably right Galileo didn't have a platform, but you're the one drawing that comparison, not me. Do you really think he has the same problem, in the age of the Internet? In another comment below I've suggested other, more respectful, platforms: "Blogs/journals/conferences not specifically for supporting women/editorials/radio shows/record a podcast. Write a manifesto for crying out loud."

> there really was no “correct” forum for Galileo to promote his findings Just FYI, the church hosted him tons. The Pope read his work and liked it. Your understanding of history is so incredibly flawed it actually shows how much you're wrong about your understanding of this topic as well.
