... did you just add two words and a watermark to a meme instead of commenting on it?

The meme is great, but I don't understand the bottom text.

Is OP saying they're completely unaware of systemic sexism in academia?

I wish I had a fraction of that positivity.

I interpreted it to be added because the last time this was posted (without "citation needed") someone in the comments pointed out that in real life, the woman on this air pistol team actually performed worse than the man and affected their final score.

Not sure the point is really conveyed without knowing that context. But also I don't think the original was that good either.

What does {{CITATION NEEDED}} mean?

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It mean you need citation. Not just want it, need.

Who writes it in that form? You just put a todo note into your document

Who writes it in that form?

Wikipedia editors, but it's single square brackets, instead of double curry braces.

Double curry braces is a software developer thing.

And also British-Indian dentistry equipment.

Many labs have grant writers who are not PhD's at all or even majors in the field. They are literally writers.
