Is there a source for these haughty, cackling archeologists making fun of hairdressers or is that just to manufacture some kind of underdog victory scenario?

The latter. "everybody clapped" clickbait.

If you want an actual example of a haughty, cackling asshole ignoring a woman's expertise, this clip of Joe Rogan will make your blood boil

Boy howdy, that's a spot-on description. Never listened to him because I expected it to be trash; but I didn't realize the situation was so dire

Motherfucker leans into sensationalism and shock-value, because he'll be forgotten as soon as he shuts the fuck up—and of course he won't have any useful skills to hold a job with real value afterward. Fucking cowardly shits, afraid to work on something of substance when the fame/infamy runs dry

So yeah, it indeed made my blood boil a little lol. Wish I could say it was mostly pity for him being so... dumb? But nah, that's a person acting like garbage and should be treated as such (until proven otherwise)

To be fair, while I haven't listened to a ton of Rogan, that's easily the most openly vile thing I've heard from him. And it's not from his show, he's a guest on some call in show. It's also an older clip.

Usually his schtick is a lot more subtle, "I'm just asking questions, I'm just open to hearing all sides, I just happen to platform Nazis and never push back on their opinions because I'm so open, also I think trans people are evil"

You know. You know the fuckin type.

Also, why does that have to be the only solution? There were wet things that turned harder when they dried back then, too.
