They only said it once. In a world that actively discourages women from going into scientific fields, a notable scientist coming up with a notable idea and being female is notable. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you are trolling. And a dude.

If a word-change is enough to throw you so far off balance that you're irrational, perhaps the planet would be a better place without you. There are no delusional fantasies here. Our language is a constantly evolving thing -- and making single-sex labels more accurate in the 21st century is not that big of a deal. This isn't anything new. It's been going on for some 40 years! It's why we say flight attendant now, not stewardess and most Thirty-somethings have grown up saying fire fighter, not fireman. Manhole is a ridiculous name. It doesn't even describe what it is accurately! It's a hole for all men? No, it's a hole for maintenance access. The new name is far superior. Similarly, the name for our species SHOULD be humankind, not mankind. That's just more accurate. So, how about you get a grip? Why is it that it's always the conservatives who are having meltdowns but they call other people snowflakes? Projection I guess.

I'm afraid this will start a new trend at Disney (and elsewhere). Next March, we could hear "You think you've seen Rise of Skywalker? You haven't seen all of it yet, unless you spend another $12 to see it again in theaters with more footage!"

This calls for a call out to McMansion Hell -- https://mcmansionhell.com/ - It's strayed a bit from its original purpose (to call out the nightmare that is the average McMansion) but it's amusing to wander through -- I believe she coined the term "lawyer foyer" (which you can probably figure out is one of those overly grand ones.)
