    How dare you make a post that is about a man!
    Where is your empathy for female scientists? Sexist pig!
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    You're being way too sensitive about this.

    For somebody so highly qualified he's a bit of a f@ckwit if he thought his presentation to that audience would be well received and without consequence. I'm not sure CERN had any choice TBH

    Jordan Peterson (who I don't always agree with) has the opinion that you should have equality in opportunity but not in outcome.

    So as long as everyone has equal opportunity to do their chosen career then it doesn't matter if it ends up being 85% men or 85% women. It might just be that more men want to do that job or vice versa. If you force the outcome to be equal then you have to penalise people to get that outcome.

    Reminds me of when Matt Taylor landed a module on a comet but instead of celebrating such an amazing feat everyone lost their sh!t over the shirt he was wearing. I mean it's stupid, but then on the other hand a little forethought would went a long way, in both cases. They were entirely preventable.

    Anyway, I can probably cover all the replies with the following selection of keywords:

    SJWs
    Snowflakes
    Fauxrage
    The PC Brigade
    In my day
    Liberals
    Twitterstorm
    Objectification
    etc etc

    Agreed. I run "talent acquisition programs" they frequently have desired diversity outcomes.
