Tim Hunt (again)

Topic: Sex(ism) in science
subject: Tim Hunt's remarks about working with women
speaker: Emily Grossman
speaker: Milo Yiannopoulos

The woman is passionate about her subject and says so right off so there will be no mistaking she is her academic bundle, her curricula vitae truly is the thing that she is living, the thing that she rides high on the crest of and she's eager to deliver the whole wave all at once by the mouthful.  Her entire doctorate is right there available to her at the tip of her tongue thoroughly and forcefully, it comes out in torrent and in  phrases repeated too rapidly for ordinary speech, well-practiced phrases, "not every female but most, of course, and not every male but most," for she is nothing if not passionate and very well-practiced. She will shove her wave in your face.  But riding the frothy crest she's not looked back and examined  the ocean that slaps out the wave she is riding, neglected its flotsam back there, its jetsam and junk, its circulating growing floating island of trash. All Milo did in response was to reach back there behind her and calmly pick through the bits in the sea of litter that produced the wave the passionate doctor is surfing. 

The video is annoying to watch. 

Doubly so due to their shared speech impediment but that's my problem.

Emily Grossman educator on sexism in science drives her point by repeatedly citing studies that  girls feel the sciences are antagonistic against them and it is up to boys as students and men as employees to fix that situation that males created and still create by being male.

Maybe females must toughen up, but males most certainly must soften.

Milo refutes her case of institutional bias against girls by citing the advantages extended females in colleges and in employment preferences of hiring. Emily was not expecting Milo to have his own facts. He describes a double handicap institutionalized against boys that Emily is eager to ignore. Milo owns Emily in the discussion after claiming special privileges to be bitchy as he pleases due to his own special class he merely reaches behind Emily's wave into the littered sea perturbing Emily to demonstrate by chanting  "girls feel" so that the old septuagenarian, they repeatedly emphasize, the nobel laureate who started it all off and no ordinary run-of-the-mill crackpot easily dismissed that all three in the video do manage to dismiss (so I dismiss them, all three)  just might be right after all. 

If you must.

She doesn't realize how she is demonstrating his and the Nobel laureate's point with almost everything she says. She also shows well the liberal style of simply changing the subject in response as each of her points is swatted down like a sluggish fly. If you pay attention, you will see that she makes a list of sexist declarations that are mostly anti-female, while the guy somehow seems to avoid that. Another demonstration of the lack of self-awareness we see so much. You can see in her face that she knows she's being handed her hat, and I'm sure she blames the institutional sexism that dominates reality, and ran crying back to her land of comfortable lies for a hug and pat on the back.

Gender imbalance. Right off the bat this horseshit that equalizing numerically is justice and the natural disparities are injustice.

The "anointed" have to know that their entire agenda can only be imposed by force, i.e. freedom MUST be killed.
