Sir Tim Hunt of University College, London, won the Nobel Prize for physiology in 2001. He was giving a speech in South Korea when he slipped up and told the truth. It’s not acceptable to tell the truth in modern society. Instead you are supposed to lie other time in order to keep your friends, your lovers and your job.
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 criticize them, they cry.
That went over like a turd in a punchbowl. The ladies sat stony-faced. They were not amused. He may as well have told a fart joke. Actually he should have. He might have gotten more laughs and kept his job.
In other words, in spite of those male mathy-sciency nerdy brains that those lady scientists have, at the end of the day, female scientists are simply women like any other woman with all of the pros and cons that go along with their gender. Male-female relations in the lab, as elsewhere anywhere the genders mingle, are sexual minefields with regular female emotional explosions detonating in the background, reminding you that in spite of all those fancy microscopes, lab coats, expensive degrees and stratospheric IQ’s, you are still in an unavoidable gender war-zone held hostage to the whims of Nature.
For the crime of telling the truth, this great Nobel prize winning scientist was fired from his job. Silly man! Didn’t he know that SJW’s decreed the truth to be illegal for some decades now?
