The Feminisation of Academia, Explained By Behavioural Scientists Bo Winegard and Cory Clark

[@lucasdarianschwendlervieir3714]

Wanting your colleague fired because he publishes conclusions that disagrees with you is truly toxic behaviour.

[@czwarty7878]

This is basically a death sentence for science, when you can't research things because it becomes taboo. We went through this with religion trying to force it's way into science, now it's neoprogressives. Honestly it's depressing as hell. Glad I'm not in US.

[@fsilber330]

For this reason, academic research that has political ramifications is usually unreliable and untrustworthy due to the lack of commitment towards scientific objectivity.

[@TheSapphire51]

Yes it is toxic behaviour and its also anti- intellectual, anti- scientific and just plain old rubbish. Strangely these same women have totally embraced the nonsense that trans women are women. How submissive of them.😂😂

[@johndoeboston123]

Many ambitious men in the 1800's (e.g., Sigmund Freud) were happy to demolish the careers of their competitors by any means available. I suppose the difference is that the most dangerous totalitarians are those who truly believe they are doing something good and right.

[@lightworker2956]

Yes, and it's also something that I would wager most women and most left-winger would support. Basically, society was built by right-wing men. And now it's being destroyed by left-wing women.

[@SubvertTheState]

This presumes that people automatically act based off of assumptions made FROM the results of research. How ridiculous. Sam Harris (Back when he used to think) brought this up. If research came out which proved that Native Americans display a higher aptitude in Medicine than Europeans, we need to know that. We can funnel state resources to provide grants which go to the people who will use them the best, as well as create safety nets for negative outcomes which might be detected. Choosing to blind our civilization to reality because some people are afraid of what others COULD POSSIBLY do with that information is an indicator of collapse. Feminism was never harmless or just "advocating for equality". The whole patriarchy conspiracy comes to the logical conclusion that power, information, resources and support need to be taken away from men poking around in the lab. Because anything the patriarchy does will be perceived as for oppression, enslavement and sadistic ends. And guess what?! That's perfectly rational. Unfortunately men are not on a team, and many discoveries, breakthroughs and insights will remain in the dark for as long as anti academic values rule academia.

[@thiagom8478]

We are all irrational, and we are all some now and then offended by scientific findings, @VelkePivo. Experimental Scientists do not get a free pass from human condition, sadly, same way Philosophers and Historians never manages to get theirs. But I do share your perplexity. I think the point is not that is absurd to "feel offended by" but to act as if this feeling could or even should have the last word about what is or isn't a "scientific finding". Whenever you feel offended by a scientific finding you reexamine it. And if it holds up under the light of your best objective reasoning, you swallow your feelings. Because you know the world doesn't had any obligation to bend to your expectations, what you want to be not always is. It doesn't mean you don't feel offended by scientific findings, it only means you are not arrogant enough to put your feelings above scientific findings that offend you. No one has to know how offended you felt.

There was an open letter in the 1890’s by male Oxford students protesting the inclusion of women in academia. They said that once a critical mass of women is reached, real debate becomes unworkable as not only do the women become easily offended by being disagreed with, but also other people become afraid of stating their opinion out of fear being ostracised or being rude and upsetting someone.

[@GetLitTime]

I teach at a university in English as an adjunct, and this video essay does not even come close to the radicalization of female academics that has happened over the last 40 odd years. The studies cited do not accurately reflect the behaviour of today's female academics whose self reporting is self serving. The universities are now plagued by these authoritarian elitists whose so-called "empathy" and desire for "social justice" is just a hypocritical ploy for the accumulation of even more unearned power and wealth by deluded narcissists. Read what they actually publish; read what their departmental statements and policies are. The rise of women in universities has been a rise in authoritarian women, not women generally. They are hell bent on placing themselves at the apex of a totalitarian society of social engineers, and they use feminism/intersectionalism as their weaponized power ideology. This process is so far gone that the universities are a lost cause. We have to develop an entirely new educational system that never allows such power-mad authoritarians to take it over.

[@jasonneugebauer5310]

I have to agree with this statement. Women are not all more concerned with social justice than facts and logical reasoning. I know many excellent women professors and engineers that are amazing and of great benefit to technology and getting critical projects done. The problem we have is with women in positions of authority misusing their position is similar to men misusing their position of authority. Some people just want to be in charge and boss people around. These people do not focus their learning and influence on what is best for society and their organization. Instead they focus on obtaining power and injecting some chaos so they can weaken the fundamental strengths and goodness of the organization and then build power and push an alternate agenda. These people feal a rush of power and strength in manipulation and subversion of the organization. Most people both men and women who want to contribute and make the world a better place are not seeking positions of authority. These people are focused on being involved in the actual production of value. Often the least desirable most self centered people with counterproductive goals rise to the highest levels of authority while the best leaders focus on making the process better and trying to make the system work despite the extremely poor leadership from above.

I remember attending an interview for a role I was perfectly qualified for at Loughborough University some years ago. The panel of no less than 6 women was hostile from the outset, and I quickly realised that my chances of being successful as a male candidate were zero. Knowing this, I decided to go on the offensive, too. For example, I asked each of the interview panel members to identify themselves and their roles since they hadn't, which is a question of protocol. The panel leader responded that she didn't see the reason or relevance of my question. I responded it was important for me to evaluate the credentials of those assessing me as a suitable candidate. They were obviously reluctant to answer, but it turned out 3 of the panel had nothing to do with the faculty, nor were in a similar role, which immediately raised another question of why they were there in the first place. By this stage, I ended it abruptly stating I don't see how this interview is going to be fair and impartial. Suffice as to say, I didn't get the job, but later learned out of the 6 interviewees, I was the only token male candidate.

There is a 2,400 year old comedy play called Assemblywomen by Aristophenes. It tells a story of women gaining the right to vote. Taking advantage of the laziness of the men, they proceed to ban men from voting, vote in both economic and then sexual communism, and spend their time in the senate complaining about how difficult the job is and the temperature of the room. The beginning of the play has the women dressing in old men's clothing with fake beards. They then go to the Assembly and the main character uses a bunch of inspirational rhetoric and strong but empty assertions that women do many things better than men (ie fight less) in order to gain the right to vote in the first place. Apparently, the fact that no one noticed this was a women with a fake beard is Aristophenes' commentary on how their were no strong male political figures in his time, and that the Assembly was already filled out with effeminate men so there was virtually no difference between a politician and a woman in a fake beard.

Yes, I totally agree with your mother! She saw it then and it is so much more forced on the children now. I've seen it handicap boys so much. In most of the state schools in the UK, boys are cruelly mistreated, blamed and demoralised. Sometimes this is deliberately achieved by the evil political activists who have become teachers in our schools but also because the school classroom structure of learning tends to favours the girls. The extreme feminists dominate many schools and indoctrinate our children with ideas such as femininity is always good and masculinity is always bad. No wonder the boys grow up to be under confident and apologetic young men, often with mental health issues and poor qualifications, whilst girls are being encouraged to look down on the boys and hate "maleness", whilst also being over-confident and harbouring a belief in the superiority of females. This is terrible for the children themselves and also for the future of our society. Working class white males are the lowest achievers in UK schools and yet all the extra help, investment and scholarships etc still goes to ethnic minorities (even though UK Indian Asians are the HIGHEST achievers in terms of academic qualifications) and on females (who now dominate UK university courses in most subjects). As I said, I'm female. I love my female friends and my thirty year old daughter who is a lawyer. But I also love my engineer husband who can repair my old car using scrap metal and loves building things and can repair burst pipes and blocked drains! I also love my son-in -law who is a graphic designer,. Each to their own. We need both male and female traits in society. I think we must all be ready to fight for this, the right for boys to be accepted as boys and to feel happy for who they are.

[@sreyanshuchaterjee3962]

Your mother was ahead of her times. She could identify the problem early on. The schooling system is about feminizing men. Men are supposed to exist at the edge, take high risk and advance civilization, whereas women should be the one to nurture and contribute towards balance. Feminizing men is dangerous for society as these lads do not learn how to regulate emotions, nor perceive threat nor know how to deal with adversity at life. The determinate mode of education is detrimental to men.

[@dopo8333]

That's diversity right?😢 The cold hard truth is in general men want to get physical stuf done and women in general want to not do a lot of physical labor. Unfortunately this is skewing our academic leadership towards a culture of social thinkers and away from paying attention to getting fundamental physical necessitates accomplished. I am not blaming women specifically although some are guilty. Many men in academia and leadership are more guilty than women. The ratio of women enabled the social focused men to rise to power.

Many men are just giving up on education, joining the working class, or giving up on our feminized society entirely. It is critical for the leadership in society to be more balanced between maintaining the critical industry of a country while basing decisions on the fundamentals of reality and meeting the needs of the people. We must remove magical thinking, and a host of other logical fallacies as well as counterproductivity and corruption and the leaders that use them from our system or we will reap the consequences; the squandering of our resources, destruction of our ability to do work, our true economy, our quality of life, our mental health, our positive national identity, and our souls.

There were the universities based on the ideas of the enlightenment while there were religious institutions heavily involved in education and to a certain degree science (e.g. people like Gregor Mendel) which were bound to their moral framework. This separation in a fact based approach and a belief based approach could also work in the future.

I'm German and Italian. Let me assure you of one thing and remember it for life: *_Women voted for Hitler more than men did._* And women supported socialism and fascism more than men in Italy. Groups who opposed the Nazis, like the White Rose, only few were women. Sophie Scholl was the only woman among the White Rose. When it came to her trial, the men, especially her brother Hans, were even willing to sacrifice themselves so they'd let Sophie go, but the Nazis weren't fooled so easily, also because they had a mentality of better executing her despite possible innocence than not doing so despite her involvement. Resistance to Italian fascism was different because the Mafia wasn't fond of Mussolini and the fascists didn't actually intrude much into people's lives compared to national socialists, reducing the felt need for women even more to resist.

I must disagree with your dismissal of political economy as not "real" economics. The division between politics and "pure" economics is artificial and false. The great pre-20th century economists (Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Thomas Malthus, Karl Marx, and as late as the 20th century John Maynard Keynes) were all political economists. "Pure" mathematical economics only emerged in recent decades. As you correctly write, great competency in mathematics is a filter for persons in this field. Compared to the earlier political economists who were thinkers truly attempting to understanding society, the overwhelming majority of these "pure" economists are equation jugglers whose conclusions have little if anything to do with reality. You don't have to be Isaac Newton or Albert Einstein to be strong in political economy, which remains the subject with real worth.

This is a big problem that has been pointed out a lot. On the other hand, when I did my compulsory national service in the armed forces, I noticed that the young men in my cohort who had been to boys-only schools did generally not know how to relate to women. Boys definitely need male role models. Sometimes having a few girls in a male-dominated class is a civilising influence on the men in the class. However, having a few boys in a female-dominated class results in the boys feeling alienated. I sympathise with your suggestion.

I think it's also the TYPE of women who are drawn to work in n academia, who aren't neccesarily representative of women, overall. The same way that top-level executives may be mostly male, but they probably have different traits to just the average man in the street. Because you don't just randomly end up in a certain job; Different jobs appeal to different personality types And sex is a pretty big factor in personality type. Men and women behave differently. But that's not the same thing as saying "ALL men have personality type X, and ALL women have personality type Y". So academic jobs may favour women (whether thru biased recruiting, or because the sexes have different aptitudes, on average), but that's probably only a SPECIFIC personality-type, in women, which isn't the same as women, overall.

You failed to mention that women, as in most areas, are being given more places due to DEI, affirmative action, and quite literally bursary's etc are being offered ONLY to women. This is not exactly a sign of women outperforming men. Indeed this is just plain gender bias. Since some schools are beginning to remove some, if not all, of these biases the numbers go back to almost where they were. Universities are run by feminists and as such are a very hostile environment to men, particularly with such things a supposed rape culture and plain old man hating.

This is interesting research but as a former university teacher for me it does not really address the most important long-term trend, which is the creation of whole new subjects designed from the outset to be dominated by women. From that perspective, the original sin is Women's Studies, which, like Business Studies, has practically no academic content, but is purely ideological. This means that there are no standards by which contributions can be judged; so tenure is awarded to friends of those in power, and the whole thing spirals into an intellectual black hole, with no attempt at logic or rationality or fact, and in many cases with explicit hostility to those values, described by large groups of women who all automatically agree with each other in terms of the patriarchy, toxic masculinity, rape culture, etc. etc. This project was so successful that other female-dominated 'grievance studies' subjects were invented and institutionalized, and at the same time departments of education were churning out university administrators with the same kind of beliefs. So this has allowed these values to be extended not just to history and psychology and so on, but even to such subjects as astronomy and mathematics. The one new element, which has caused this to backfire on its original perpetrators, is that it is now the students rather than the staff who have the most radically idiotic views, and the comfortably-off tenured feminists have seen themselves re-branded as TERFs. The only ones who have escaped it were those who were wise enough to make their writings and lectures so totally incomprehensible that nobody, whether friend or foe, could tell what they had ever been talking about in the first place.

If academia isn't pursuing the truth then it can't produce anything of value for society and is thus worthless. I'm not sure how to get this fundamental truth across to women, or academia, I suspect getting them to accept the message's truth instead of retreating into self protective defensiveness would be the problem, but if the general public continues turning against academia and supporting it's de-funding they should at least not be surprised.

However, from my perspective men didn’t get educated because it was something fun.. the world around men has been hostile and difficult to navigate since the beginning of our species. In other words, men had to go out and risk their lives to figure out how the elements around them worked. They had to figure these things out because everything from wild animals to bad weather, to bacteria on uncooked food, disease being transferred to us by a mere insect bite etc… we were forced in a literal sense to learn how the world around us functioned so our civilization didn’t collapse in a generation… So, if women truly wanted to educate themselves, was there a need for feminism? No, all they needed to do was walk outside and spend a few thousand years risking their own lives to figure out the laws of the universe around them. Didn’t want to do that huh? Instead wanted to be educated on the things men risked themselves to figure out? That’s fine, but then why are you now trying to change the base expectations we built into our society and education systems (like free speech and the pursuit of truth over feelings)?
