Let's just pick one of these at random and peak into it, Ida Tack discovering Technetium. She was one woman on a team with two men who did an unreproducible experiment that "discovered" Technetium[0]. To this day the experiment hasn't been reproduced. Maybe they did find it, but if nobody else could make their experiment work that's just how it goes. Science can't start giving credit to people for unreproducible experiments just because they're women. > It was she who managed to find two new elements, rhenium and masurium, that Dmitri Mendeleev had predicted would form part of the periodic table. She was on a team! The author is doing to Tack's male teammates the exact thing he claims to believe is wrong, which is to leave people out because of their sex. The fact that she was on a team with two men, and that a male was the top author on their paper makes sexism very unlikely. If her co-authors got credit and she didn't that would be one thing, but none of them got credit. The whole article is filled with women who did things that wouldn't have made them famous if they were men. The cases that may have merit, and I'm sure there are some, are more difficult to take seriously because the level of bias of the author.
