Others have already pointed out that her distress calls were most certainly not ignored. But even if it were true that others did casually allow her to die, their disregard for her life wouldn’t have been because she was a woman. Her navigator, Fred Noonan, was a man on board and also suffered the same fate as her. Inventing a sexist conspiracy over an unfortunate tragedy accomplishes nothing productive.
It happens a lot to guys who are near women who shine and are memorable, Marie Curie’s husband, Pierre Curie, was more than just her husband he helped with the radioactivity research and they both died because of it. That said how many women have been erased in similar situations like that of Rosalind Franklin being Upstaged by Francis Crick. In short Academia needs to be better about recognition and change the incentive structure that makes for some forcing their names into papers they had nothing to do with besides proximity.

Literally never learned he existed, another man erased from history.

Let’s just forget everyone, instead.
I think people forget the past is done and gone.
I have watch Star Trek voyager. I knew he existed. Fred was a part of cast.
Not much of a real man if he’s second in command to a woman is he?? 🤣 /s
Never thought i would see someone opposing circle jerking bashing on men and being upvoted for it on Lemmy.
Its nice.
