SUMMARY: Sir Tim Hunt (male scientist) was set up, then knocked down. Asked to make jokes about gender in workplace. Statements were taken out of context, used to attack him, make womenfolk look like victims.
..............................................................................................................................................................
"The Nobel Prize laureate resigned from prestigious posts at University College London, the Royal Society and European Research Council (ERC) amid outrage over his remarks earlier this month."
"Outrage over the comments sparked the #distractinglysexy trend celebrating female scientists on Twitter and institutions Sir Tim worked with swiftly distanced themselves from him.
Within days, the 72-year-old had resigned from as Honorary Professor with the UCL Faculty of Life Sciences, the Royal Society's Biological Sciences Awards Committee and ERC.
But a leaked EU report seen by The Times supports Sir Tim’s claims that his remarks were an “idiotic joke” and not meant to be taken seriously.
A European Commission official who was at the lunch for women journalists and scientists offered a differing transcript from the account compiled by three reporters present."

Maybe it was just an accident. After all, would someone really be getting grant money to passive aggressively set up, then knock down a retiring scientist under false pretenses? I'm sure the Partisans would never be so dastardly!
SUMMARY: The Tim Hunt saga was complete bullshit, created for a waiting gaggle of propagandists from the word GO.
