Albert Einstein, remembered by many as a Nobel prize winning scientist, proves that just because you introduce the world to the theory of relativity, that doesn't mean you're exempt from being a sexist monster. Back in 1914, Einstein and his first wife Mileva Maric had hit a rough patch in their marriage. Einstein thought he could remedy this with a strict list of rules. Einstein thought wrong. Maric left him.

The list included rules such as "You will make sure that my clothes and laundry are kept in good order", "you will not expect any intimacy from me, nor will you reproach me in any way", "You will undertake not to belittle me in front of our children, either through words or behavior" and "you will stop talking to me if I request it". For someone with such a capable brain it's pretty impressive - or perhaps the exact opposite - that he actually thought these would fly with his wife.
