I rarely read stories but this was lol.

I'm pretty sure 50+ years from now the world will look back at this time period in the west as Clown World.

A senior scientist has given what has been described as a "highly offensive" presentation about the role of women in physics, the BBC has learned.

At a workshop organised by CERN, Professor Alessandro Strumia of Pisa University said that "physics was invented and built by men, it's not by invitation".

He said male scientists were being discriminated against because of ideology rather than merit. He was speaking at a workshop in Geneva on gender and high energy physics. Professor Strumia has since defended his comments, saying he was only presenting the facts.

CERN, the European nuclear research centre, described Prof Strumia's presentation as "highly offensive".

The centre, which discovered the Higgs Boson in 2012, has removed slides used in the talk from its website "in line with a code of conduct that does not tolerate personal attacks and insults".

Prof Strumia, who regularly works at CERN, presented the results of a study of published research papers from an online library.

He told his audience of young, predominantly female physicists that his results proved that "physics is not sexist against women. However the truth does not matter, because it is part of a political battle coming from outside".

In 2015, Nobel laureate Prof Tim Hunt resigned from his position at University College London after telling an audience of young female scientists at a conference in South Korea that the "trouble with girls" in labs was that "when you criticise them they cry".

Straight Fax, homie.

Well, what I don't like about that dude is that he is saying all women are the same. Everyone is different. Is shitting on a sex bad? If so don't shit on a sex. Don't be a douche who says, "don't shit on my sex" yet is fine shitting on the other sex.

If what he is saying is true then what is the problem,?

It wasn't entirely true and he was kind of a dick about it

And Thuriszas.

Actually, Greoric needs to come back.

 

[Rational Poster]

@NoDak don't necro threads you're confusing people.

 

[PEB]

This is news to Grace Hopper, Madam Curie, Michelle Simmons "quantum computing I could go on an on.

I would be thrilled if eugenicist came back
man that was one hell of a poster.

@NoDak you're confusing people.

Good, then I am fulfilling my purpose of disruption and chaos. I was reminded of it when it came up on a search and brought back good memories. Most of the people who read through this thread would cum out vastly more knowledgable about the history of physical science, its primary contributors, what they did and when it happened. This isn't a social issue thread, that was just a front to talk science and history.

 

[NoDak]

It is basically just a further division into immaturity and stupidity to even care who made the most visible contributions.

People caught up in this concern, who see women as the other, have lost their way. Women have contributed love and nurturing to our children and to the men they love. How do you measure that?

You disappoint me sometimes.

No father wants to see his son become a limp wristed labrat. Mothers on the other hand supported their dream through thick and thin. Yes... deal wit it.

Lots of physics breakthroughs have been by men suspected to have autism too.

Not gonna wade into this debate but the gender determining SRY gene on the Y chromosome defo plays a huge role in our psychology. @Kafir-kun.
Ever think of going into biochem instead?
It's Testosterone that directly leads to the actual development of the penile shaft, glans, wolffian ducts and descent of the testicles from the abdominal cavity. It quite literally made you a man a long time before you ever hit puberty, so wielding an enormous impact on your body composition, sex drive, mental state and well-being amongst a multitude of other factors as an adult is light work.

Even in our modern fat shit western society, you won't be likely to find anyone with a total T level north of 1000 ng/dL who at all struggles with their weight unless they've got inordinately high levels of SHGB. Not that surprising considering it boosts your BMR, creates an environment for burning adipose (fat) tissue over lean mass and even directly inhibits the creation of fat cells.
