“What a quantum poppe”, “the age that advances inexorable forces some women to shoot the latest fireworks”, “common sense: an illustrious stranger in today’s time”, “Using woman who has nothing from Fire”: these are just some of the comments in sexist salsa who have targeted physics, writer and popularizer Gabriella Greison in the last hours. Did you stage a strip-tease on the street? From these sentences you could get an idea of the genre, but no.
The well -known scientist – the Rockstar of Physics Note – simply shared a video on Instagram while he was leaving for Sicily to participate as a godmother in the degree ceremony of the University of Messina at the ancient Greek theater in Taormina.
Instead of focusing on his words (that is, an anticipation of the speech aimed at young people on important issues such as courage, choices, freedom and future), however, many users – including women – have focused on a detail deemed scandalous: the neckline of the green dress he wore, from which the bra one was glimpsed.
Mom, what transgression (in fact with about 40 ° he should have opt for a nice wool turtleneck)! Open heaven: definitely too much for a hypocritical and bigoted Italy. And so they sparked, so much so that they make the news viral. Because yes, in our country a neckline makes more noise of dramas, scientific discoveries or injustices.

But Gabriella Greison has let the rain of sexist phrases slip on him, silenced with a brilliant response and a good dose of irony.
I brought my voice, my brain and a nice speech to keep everyone glued, and I started with a summer green dress that put me joy, and put it even to who I had around. And we are in 2025. That is: the world burns, the glaciers melt, artificial intelligence reads us in thought … and does you upset a woman who speaks of science with a nice décolleté? But seriously? What has troubled you is not the dress. It is the fact that a woman can speak of quantum physics without remembering a man, and therefore without asking for permission. That can climb on a stage, explain the wave function and Schrödinger, and in the meantime have the boobs. Oops. There is no dress code for dignity. And if you are looking for decency in a centimeter of fabric, instead of in the content of the words, I recommend an experiment: try to use the brain and position yourself in the current year, with all the struggles that have been made by those before me. It’s hot, but it still works.

Unfortunately, the story of Gabriella Greison is only the tip of the iceberg of a sexist mentality and who looks to the physical aspect of women and their way of dressing, instead of evaluating their brain and their actions. Imagine what would have happened if instead of a woman with a low -cut dress Had there have been a man with a unbuttoned shirt or in shorts? I tell you immediately: absolutely nothing. Nobody would have noticed and the story would not have become a national media case.
Why? Because dignity or male talent is never under discussion based on clothing. The female one, however, yes. Practically every day.
