![By choice [Rosalind Franklin] did not emphasize her feminine qualities... There was never lipstick to contrast with her straight black hair, while at the age of thirty-one her dresses showed all the imagination of English blue-stocking adolescents. So it was quite easy to imagine her the product of an unsatisfied mother who unduly stressed the desirability of professional careers that could save bright girls from marriages to dull men... Clearly Rosy had to go or be put in her place. The former was obviously preferable because given her belligerent moods, it would be very difficult for Maurice [Wilkins] to maintain a dominant position that would allow him to think unhindered about DNA... The thought could not be avoided that the best home for a feminist was another person's lab](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4rcludumw5jj4nb6vqznrp3j/bafkreidm7yjurcfu7g5br67vb2bzemxiquyp4amkgqxsgpu54teoapr7va@jpeg)

![One of Britain's most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protestors going "all floppy" when they get arrested.
Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, said the tactic of going limp was a "flipping nuisance" as it required extra officers to drag protestors away.
House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: "We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to day, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It's a complete waste of officers' time, and a complete pain in the neck."
House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: "The problem with them going floppy and four officers carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We're not making them go floppy. They're just sort of being a nuisance."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4rcludumw5jj4nb6vqznrp3j/bafkreia3rbchcxu2xmbpchuaonpter2qabeglw7twkrftrasztilvww5n4@jpeg)
