Proof positive that male academics fear feminazis too much stand by any truth or principle

Sir Tim Hunt resigns from university role over girls comment

Re: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-33090022

This story provides further evidence that we truly live in a fascist state. Even Tim Hunt's original comments were tainted by political correctness.

He first felt the need to state that he has a reputation as a 'male chauvinist', as if male scientists should feel the need to denigrate themselves before speaking honestly about women.

He then begins with 'let me tell you about my trouble with girls', indicating that he is speaking personally.

He went on, 'you fall in love with them, they fall in love with you'. Given that everything we do is instrumental to reproduction, this is eminently reasonable. But again, he was being politically correct. He implied symmetry between men and women, but in a scientific laboratory where intelligence is rated over beauty, the women are more likely to be attracted to the men, than vice versa, relative to the world at large. Universities function as highly effective 'marriage markets' for female students and staff, as academia is a good source of intelligent and reliable men.

He continued with 'when you criticise them, they cry'. Given the context, speaking as an invited speaker where his task was to engage with and entertain the audience, hyperbole is to be expected (science is dry and dull). Women are ultimately concerned about inter-personal matters, rather than the task at hand, so would be more sensitive to criticism, and it is common knowledge that women have a much higher propensity to cry than men.

He goes on, 'I'm in favour of single-sex labs'; again, this is over-egalitarian, as there is no symmetry, women working for women works less effectively than any other combination. A lab with female bosses and female underlings involves forcing women, who are used to a fairly equitable and personal social network, into the inequitability and impersonality of a hierarchy.

A statement from UCL said that his resignation 'is compatible with our commitment to gender equality.' This concisely evidences the politically correct totalitarian state of academia in the West today. Firstly, the term 'gender' (as opposed to 'sex') implies that the significant dichotomy among people is socially constructed, rather than biological: this is not science, but politically-inspired nonsense. Secondly, things that are different are not equal: to assume equality is false, whilst attempting to enforce it is totalitarian.

UCL urged a Nobel laureate to resign for speaking honestly. This is an utter disgrace. That he had no visible support evidences the reality of academics today: fascists and cowards.

  • D'Maris Coffman I work at UCL so let's be clear that my views are not that of the management. But I have a lot of time for Michael Arthur and I think I can see what happened. Hunt's position was an honorary professor, an act of co-branding given the fact that he won a Nobel Prize and is retired and living out his career on one of those Royal Academy grants. Honorary professorships (except amongst clinical faculty who have teaching obligations in exchange for theirs) are kept up as long as they're beneficial to both sides. Hunt must know this. And while I would not personally have asked him to resign over it, I am not hugely surprised they did, precisely because there wasn't much to resign.

  • D'Maris Coffman I don't understand Martin Sewell's unpacking of this, though. I can assure you that women can be far more ruthless than men, and that women who make it to the top of any field, including science, scarcely behave in the way Hunt believes. He wasn't speaking any recognisable truth so much as flattering himself that he's the object of female postdoc's fantasies. He should be so lucky. As for women crying, good grief. Men assume that women cry to manipulate men. That might be true on some occasions, but having an 8-week old infant, I can assure you people cry when they've overwhelmed. Men largely have that beaten out of them, and thus come to fear tears. But they're just tears, as the female pilot points out to the sergeant in 'Blackhawk Down'. They seem to paralyse men more than women. tongue emoticon

    • D'Maris Coffman If you honestly think this is an example of feminazification, then I think you probably have been reading The Daily Mail too often. We don't even know the circumstances of the resignation (did he offer it? was it solicited? was it tendered in response to a request for a fuller apology, etc?), and even if it was requested, sacking someone from an honorary post as an act of reputation management is scarcely censorship. You'd have a better argument if the Royal Society took drastic action and terminated his grant.

  • John Kelsey Some years ago as director of another MSc course I used part of my induction talk to describe the academic staff which ended "...and finally we have one member of staff who has a First-Class degree in Project Management for Construction, a PhD in Chemistry and is a qualified Barrister...and by the way guys, she's blonde." That caused great hilarity among the female students and put the men in their place if they had any doubts about female academic abilities in science (or anything else). I have another friend who did her PhD in Life Sciences at UCL and had lunch today with a group of singing friends which included an attractive UCL female academic who I would place money on to be a future Nobel Laureate in Physics. I suspect they might be offended by the stupidity of Sir Tim's remarks but in the same breath dismiss them as examples of old-fashioned male chauvinism. I am not sure whether Sir Tim had considered that some male scientists might have fallen in love with other male scientists in the lab from which his logic would lead to a suite of one-person labs. Finding lab assistants might be a problem. As D'Maris says being an Honorary Professor is not a big deal but such people are supposed to represent UCL to the outside world and clearly this is not the image that UCL wishes to project. Finally I have another longstanding female colleague who is now a UCL Professor. If Sir Tim is under the illusion that women are the weaker sex this female Professor is also an ex-sergeant who served in the Israeli Defense Forces. So perhaps it is just as well that he resigned for his own safety if nothing else.

The reality is that economics teaching is hard to come by in Cambridge because the Economics Faculty tells its junior post holders not to bother becoming college fellows. So colleges, especiallywomen's colleges, have to be very broadminded about approaching a range of people: temporary lectures, senior postdocs, etc - about filling colleges roles that would normally be filled by university lecturers. It says a lot about the Economics Faculty's attitude to ugrad teaching, but not much about the esteem in which a college holds any particular candidate.tongue emoticon

      A defence to libel would be truth, for truth justifies any defamatory statement.

      It would be nice to have a legal definition of slut which must logically and necessarily mean a fornicatress, which is considered a mortal sin.

      I would be arguing that a virgin who fornicates for the very first time and gets herself knocked up would by definition be a slut. 

      A slut is a promiscuous woman who has sex with a sex partner or sex partners she should not have had sex with and who get her into trouble eg knocked up or having illegitimate offspring. 

      The sluttery is crystalised, so to speak, when illegitimate offspring is produced without a marriage certificate. 

      Slut behaviour is now normal and accepted in the West as is widespread bastardy. I am saying it is a bad thing but is now considered socially acceptable and am indeed campaigning for sluts to be shamed.
