Remember the scientist Tim Hunt? Your initial skepticism was correct. You don't even need to say anything wrong to be set upon by a virtual lynch mob.

It's just going to make anyone scared to say anything in case they get misinterpreted. They proved his point anyway even though it was meant to be a complete joke. Women cannot take criticism, even about their ability to receive criticism. Its funny actually.

Yeah, turns out the lady who started that campaign has a phony CV filled with lies too...oops. There are pictures from the event when Tim made the comment and him and women were visibly laughing.

I like Dawkins because I haven't seen him back down from SJWs...didn't he mock that one sensitive chick who got asked to coffee at some science conference and then made a huge deal about it?

MattyAnon · 2015-06-30T11:17:26+00:00

From the article, the so-called journalist who broke the story comments on the backlash:

"What I don’t understand is what this backlash is about. I don’t understand why Dawkins and others are doing this. It appears from UCL’s press release that he offered to resign, but frankly, it’s not the problem, the problem is the lack of women and diversity in science which nobody is addressing.

Yup... as soon as she's called on it, she changes the subject.

No longer is it about the facts, no longer is is about the fact that he said "now seriously..." at the time. Let's forget about the man thrown under the bus, and certainly let's not concentrate on her lies, agenda-pushing. Instead let's focus on getting behind diversity regardless of merit, and special rights for women.

AWALT.

For those who don't wish to click, here's his comment:

“It’s strange that such a chauvinist monster like me has been asked to speak to women scientists. Let me tell you about my trouble with girls. Three things happen when they are in the lab: you fall in love with them, they fall in love with you, and when you criticise them they cry. Perhaps we should make separate labs for boys and girls?

“Now seriously, I’m impressed by the economic development of Korea. And women scientists played, without doubt an important role in it. Science needs women and you should do science despite all the obstacles, and despite monsters like me.”

Nobel laureate and fellow of the Royal Academy Sir Richard Timothy "Tim" Hunt is obviously used to traveling in circles where people can hold more than once sentence in their head at a time.

Jimmy_Big_Nuts · 2015-06-30T12:36:59+00:00

Massive respect for Richard Dawkins as usual. He takes a lot of flack - he's not afraid to speak out about religious people, and rabid feminists. I'm amazed he is still alive given Islamic extremism! Massive balls of steel. Great truth speaker. Slandered and misquoted all over the place. Hated by the left and right. But he is always polite, logical, and basing his opinions on reason and proof. Actually fairly redpill, in the sense he doesn't take shit from women or beta-males simply to back down from trouble.

redpillbanana · 2015-06-30T11:38:48+00:00

Tim Hunt can easily point to material damages caused by her lies - damages both quantifiable and intangible. IANAL but he might have a strong libel case.

At this point, it is almost safe to assume that anything that comes out of a prominent feminist's mouth is either a lie or a fallacy.

antihostile · 2015-06-30T12:51:41+00:00

This is what Hunt actually said:

“It’s strange that such a chauvinist monster like me has been asked to speak to women scientists. Let me tell you about my trouble with girls. Three things happen when they are in the lab: you fall in love with them, they fall in love with you, and when you criticise them they cry. Perhaps we should make separate labs for boys and girls?

Now seriously, I’m impressed by the economic development of Korea. And women scientists played, without doubt an important role in it. Science needs women and you should do science despite all the obstacles, and despite monsters like me.”

That this was turned into a sexist controversy and forced a Nobel Prize winning biochemist to resign is beyond disgusting. Things are way worse than you think. Nice to see someone has the balls to stand up to this nonsense:

RPthrowaway123 · 2015-06-30T13:32:49+00:00

The university won't even take him back despite the fact that all this was trumped up by an idiot feminist with no credentials. She has even gone on the record saying she isn't sorry for ruining his career. God fucking dammit people!

MattyAnon · 2015-06-30T11:07:31+00:00

“Without wishing to join a reverse witch-hunt to root out the individuals responsible, I can’t help hoping Sir Tim will receive an apology."

By "reverse witch-hunt", he means "witch-hunt" ;)

hamstercide · 2015-06-30T09:31:43+00:00

Why did he resign over some bullshit allegation?

GuitarHero07 · 2015-06-30T12:28:59+00:00

Unfortunately in SJW forums one cannot even make a joke about these issues....especially if you happen to be a white heterosexual male. Men need to learn that there's simply nothing to gained by speaking at these women's events but a lot to lose. The SJWs will look for anything to latch onto to support their narrative and bring you down.

Luckyluke23 · 2015-06-30T06:20:24+00:00

i thought journalism and feminist went hand in hand?

Lessons Learned: Yet more proof that news is no longer news and should be considered "entertainment"

And if you're interested in a short book that explains this point in more detail: Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business

Watching the news is worse than watching Keeping up With the Kardashians.

vys1 · 2015-06-30T11:22:42+00:00

Dawkins is seriously amazing. Wrote some of the best books of all time, "The Selfish Gene" and "The Blind Watchmaker" to name a few, and does not let the media have its way with its lies and bullshit. We need more people like him.

Sdom1 · 2015-06-30T18:39:06+00:00

I'm just wondering when, as a society, we get sick and tired of listening to the retards on Twitter. Seriously, it's a platform for the braindead. By its very nature, it encourages a lack of critical thinking.

Naturally, it has become the way to power for a SJW, since their philosophy is pretty much founded on a lack of critical thinking, common sense, reality, truthfulness, and inability to take criticism or admit failure.

Chick-Fil-A showed us the way. They just ignored the SJW's and let them actually attempt to back up their words with actions. It failed miserably and the emperor had no clothes.

But, in typical leftist fashion, they just steamroll over it, switch the news cycle, and never admit fault.

the_red_scimitar · 2015-06-30T14:51:53+00:00

SJWs are often stupid. There, I said it. It's like the anti-vaxxer or anti-climate-change crowd (may as well be anti-gravity, heh).

They have a selective ignorance, and it's extremely binary - things are VERY TRUE (good), or VERY EVIL! (bad).

Remember the university prof (or maybe he was some other university post) who correctly used the word "nigardly" in a speech? The word sounds ever so vaguely like the word "nigger", and SJWs went up in arms against him.

He explained through the media what the word was and what it meant, and how it had no bearing to race or prejudice. It didn't matter - these SJWs doubled down, looking like something from idiocracy, and the man had to fucking resign.

So, the lesson here: No good deed goes unpunished by the willfully unwashed, unintelligent, and unscientific. There are injustices in the world worth fighting, but these people choose instead to destroy the lives of innocents, and do it with social impunity. Whether it is the "your look at me raped me" crowd, or some other social construct that has been fashioned by the feminine agenda, when this happens, don't expect your organization or company to stand by you, as they should if they had a man's mindset. They are feminized (if not actually female) and unable to hold an honest and right position - that is, like beta men confronted by any female, they have no frame, just the desire "to please".

Apparently, you must always cover your ass.
Here, if he had a recording, he could have released it.

Have you seen the ham-beast "journalist" that set this in motion? I bet she never suffers repercussions, unless he sues for libel/slander (and finds she has nothing to recover against when she looses.)

CowardlyPetrov · 2015-06-30T16:34:31+00:00

Nothing new. They are liars and scumbags.

The lesson is never forget if you already know it and open your eyes if you didn't.

TomSachs · 2015-06-30T17:23:10+00:00

Why exactly did he give in?

Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business is an excellent read for the "lessons learned" part.
