Ah yes, he just took Rosy's pictures (she doe snot deserve her full nale) and then went on discussing what she wears.

I am a man who did his PhD in the 2000's. If my supervisor took my data and went on publishing them under his name, not only would I have kicked him in the ass publicly, but I would make my personal vendetta to crap his academic life.

She was a woman (with a not-so-nice character), in the 50s, so this would not have flown, obviously.

Let's not pretend he was not a crappy person in the name of a virgin academic world.

Setting your bizarre ranting aside, you appear to have misread - Franklin was the supervisor. It was her PhD student Raymond Gosling who took Photo 51:

I used "supervisor" loosely here - both Watson and Crick were hierarchically above her.

As for "bizarre ranting" - I guess you have never had anything you did credited to somebody else. Good for you (seriously), but in that case please do not comment about the emotions of others.

If you did and think this is fine - well we live in different worlds then.

The only thievery here is yours. Just as we are expected to believe that Ada Lovelace invented programming, Hedy Lamarr invented Wi-Fi, and Margaret Hamilton wrote the software for the Apollo missions all by her lonesome, we must believe this, too. None of it is true, and when this is pointed out, the response is frothing accusations of misogyny that you've so aptly demonstrated.

Well, froth away. Watson and Crick discovered the structure of DNA and appropriately credited Dr. R. E. Franklin (not "Rosy") in their paper.
