"So What Are You, Like The Receptionist?": Guy Got Shut Down By Female NASA Scientist After Making A Sick "Joke" About Her Occupation

In the current society, it's thought that gender equality is not an issue anymore, but it is. Many still keep the thought that women cannot do science. According to their belief, any job that requires intellect cannot be done by a woman. That's just sick. We have been through one-fifth of the 21st century, and talented women holding important positions in a company or organization is now commonplace.
Still, some people just don't get it. When they hear a woman says that she works at, for example, NASA, they can't help but think that the woman is joking. Even worst, their minds cannot think about the possibility that she may be a true scientist, then proceed to ask: "So what are you, like the receptionist?" This is a true story that happened to Irish scientist Dr. Lauren McKeown. She met a guy on Hinge but was pissed by the interaction with him and decided to call him out.
