      Better at what? Everyone must be equal before the law is the goal if not the reality. Equality does not apply to individuals in any other way.
      In fact men in general are better at many things then women are (physics is one of these things.) On the other hand women in general are better than men in general at multitasking.
      Specifically there are many exceptions to these generalizations and when a woman such as Poland's Marie Curie excels at physics we properly celebrate her achievement by granting her the Nobel Prize for her work. Marie Curie is one of four women to be so honored (about 1.8% of the 221 awarded so far)

      *RE: "There is no physics gene tied to the Y chromosome and there is no multitasking gene tied to the x chromosome."*
      Oh yes there is and you just named it; it's called the Y-chromosome.
      Are you still trying to cling to the notion that billions of re-curing accidents of chance have put men in the dominant positions in terms of technological skills? Sorry it does not wash and I have over 40 years of engineering experience and can attest to the fact the among the 5% female engineers among our ranks I have never run into a first class female engineer capable of original design brilliance.
      Of course exceptions do exist, it's simply that they are vanishingly rare. I have twice reported to female VPs of engineering and neither possessed the ability to design a doorbell circuit. One was promoted to her position by the CEO from her previous position as his executive secretary as part of some "equal opportunity" play; the other simply slept around until the executive staff tired of her and fired her. Both companies failed, naturally. Competent engineer VPs require exceptional engineering skills as well as technological vision. Its absence produces authority that is vacant of brain power and this and will always doom an engineering enterprise in the long run.
      *RE: "You are describing societal adaptations tied to gender-based upbringing, attitudes, and opportunities."*
      Ahhh, it's "gender based upbringing" that gives the stag its rack, the ram its horns, the rooster its talons, and the boar its tusks. Only among the mammals, are humans unique in their ability of sequential hermaphroditism; is this where you rest your case?

    I don't care what color their skin is; woman who can do that kind of higher math and love it have all my respect!! I hate math. You go girl! Proud that women had a hand in the Space Race! And typing that 35 page paper on an old manual typewriter???? I learned how to type on a manual, then went on to electric and finally computers. Every one of those formulas have to be typed out and manually SPACED, the paper raised and lowered to be able to type the numbers above and below the lines. Very technical typing! Today's computers are programed to space out the formulas - back then it was all done by moving the paper up and down via the roller (called a platen). Also, this report shows she did not have to fight to get her name one the reports the way the movie shows. The man she was working for wanted her name on the reports. Movie lied about that too.

    All I can say is this: THANK YOU!!!!! for doing this video. As soon as Hidden Figures came out, racists were trying to minimize the contributions of the black women featured in the movie by claiming that they exaggerated her contributions. This video makes it clear (even more than the movie) that Katherine Johnson's contributions were pivotal to the success of NASA's early launches.

    The hurdles of discrimination she bested and kept her divinity and intelligence is still shining example to us all especially USA

    What a true patriot and inspiration Katherine is I was a Child during the time of Apollo . I remember glancing at the TV seeing the Men walking on the moon or riding the moon buggy. My dad watched it all and loved it the evening Apollo 11 were on the moon my dad took me outside and pointed to the moon telling me two Americans are on the moon he could hardly contain his excitement and I said I can't see them. What a inspiration it would have been knowing a very intelligent women significantly helped to put them on the moon . I hear this fifty one years later better late then never.
