      What makes you think that the intent was to represent women in mathematics?

      I’m honestly asking, I’m a privileged white male so I’m not going to pretend to know what it’s like as a woman in STEM fields.

      Perhaps the meme would work better if the genders were switched? I mean, finding intellectual passion attractive is universal, at least in my experience.

        She consistently claims to be a woman, at least.

        This is her story as I’ve gathered it so far, from her lemmy.world account and her recently suspended Reddit account of the same name.

        She is a 35 year old woman with a math degree who applied to join the army once, and once fled to South America to escape the Fresno Bulldogs gang. She has Irish dual citizenship. Her husband secretly used her as a baby factory for other men’s children. She believes she was trafficked as a toddler. Her parents (who she believes are not her biological ones) have her children in their custody, and she’s not sure she’d be able to recognize them now because their facial features may have changed, so she wants DNA tests done to confirm, particularly on her daughter who she suspects was switched at birth. She has a fiancée who has a daughter. She has opinions about blood types and their relationship to “race”, personalities, and reproductive viability between people. She is a frequent blood donor and has never failed a drug test. There are two murdered people buried in the yard where she grew up. She shaves her head. She can’t possibly be a Nazi, because only mid-20th century blue-eyed Germans can be Nazis. She’s flummoxed as to why people on Lemmy keep calling her a Nazi.

        She’s banned from c/asklemmy for being a “Neonazi troll” and from c/politics for “repeated trolling, Nazi dogwhistle in user name.” It’s no great mystery why so many neonazis seem to have been born in ’88.

        [Edited to add further research.]

        There actually are plenty that do. But I’m right there with you, it’s weird.
