If Your Body's Sexed Female, Science Really?

I was going to post on what famous scientists (i.e., powerful males) have objectively observed about females.  You know, Aristotle the biologist wrote that females have fewer teeth than males, have the "virtue" more of obedience than of the normal (i.e., male) virtue of leadership, have a mutilated body as opposed to a naturally formed one (i.e., male), have no rational soul (as men have), and have no contribution to make to procreative biology (i.e., sperm, semen, and such) other than a bit of "matter."  You know, Sigmund Freud the psychologist wrote that females are "mutilated and must learn to accept deformity" (i.e., their lack, what he identifies as their "Penisneid").  You wonder with me then, about Simon Baron-Cohen the biological psychologist who writes about the essential hard-wire difference between females and males in the extreme brain.

But I think what gets missed, who gets forgotten, are all the famous scientists (yes women).  For starters:
