False equivalence. Firing someone for saying racist shit isnt the same a removing a person from a website because she is a woman.

Indeed, firing someone seems like a much more drastic measure, and as far as we can tell from the OP, Rose still has her job.

Also, this page about Women at NASA, which contains literally hundreds of articles about female scientists' achievements there has apparently not been deleted, so this doesn't look like some sort of systemic erasure to me. Perhaps her profile was simply deleted by mistake?

I tried clicking a bunch of them just to make sure they're not all dead links, and so far I haven't hit any 404s.
