> The whole she did it and had ovaries, omg, seems so condescending and unnecessary.
it's not omg she had ovaries, it's omg she did it, knowing she's going to get shit on by people (e.g. these comments) instead of applauded for what her and her team did for science. That's how it's inspiring to me.

I call bunkum on that. TBH it seems both sexist and racist to say one can only be inspired by people of one's own characteristics (in science).
In this case the sex and race are irrelevant to Bouman's contribution AFAICT.
If you were talking about someone like Payne-Gaposchkin, then she overcame a deal of sexism, fair enough.
The whole she did it and had ovaries, omg, seems so condescending and unnecessary.
