A zombie belief I frequently encounter in woke papers is that there's a tenure-track hiring bias against women in STEM.

A new paper combining all research on faculty ratings for identical CVs for men vs. women show that not only is this belief false, the opposite is true.

"Drivers who killed women received substantially longer sentences than those who killed men. As we see in the table below, the average sentence for killing a woman was 9.7 years, whereas the average sentence for killing a man was 4.4 years."

Anyone who's been inside academia very long can see that the dominant narrative about gender bias is risible. But it's one of those dogmas you're not supposed to question because that makes you a bad "ally" or something.

210 male journalists also appear to have completed UN Women's survey. However, UN Women did not disclose the results from the male journalists. If the results from the male journalists are similar to those of the female journalists, then this would invalidate UN Women's suggestion that only female journalists are targeted.

@seizonsha1 @TheTinMenBlog So tens of thousands of women (or more) are not capable of discernment because one man was involved at the beginning? Isn't this kind of misogynistic?
Also, is this supposed to prove that it was "men only", because that's what you said, or are you now "shifting the goalposts"?

[𝙰𝙽𝙳𝚁𝙴 @AndreTweetter]

@seizonsha1 @TheTinMenBlog Then why did every society in history force men to go to war? Why are male conscription laws needed then?

Historically, queens were more likely to start wars than kings (Dube & Harish, 2020).

Many women have participated in making men go to war, including feminists.

[𝙰𝙽𝙳𝚁𝙴 @AndreTweetter]

@TheTinMenBlog Also, we should notice how the idea that men created the system is selectively assumed to be true when convenient, i.e. when it's about something bad.

When it's something positive about society, not only you can't say men created it, it's actually very sexist to do so.

[𝙰𝙽𝙳𝚁𝙴 @AndreTweetter]

@TheTinMenBlog It doesn't matter they are the ones who have to respond and reconcile the contradiction between male disadvantages and the claim that men are privileged. They would have to admit it's wrong. Instead, they pretend it's those who point out the contradiction who have to solve it.

"WHO STARTED THE WAR!?"

This is what it's all about, isn’t it?

Who cares if some innocent man is dragged from his home, and never seen by his family again.

Who cares if another man is brutally killed, assaulted, stabbed, shot, or raped.

Who cares if hundreds of thousands of conscripted men are sent to die, in the most brutal way imaginable.

All these social media brats care about, is pointing out the sex of 'WhO StArTeD tHe WaR', in some some sick point-scoring match.

They have become so used to seeing men as some kind of faceless tyrannical oppressor class, that they all merge into one monolithic blob called "men", deprived of individuality.

In such a warped view, the Ukrainian man is abducting himself.

The boy murdered on the street stabbed himself.

The man sexually assaulted in prison, raped himself.

This idiotic world view is extraordinarily damaging, and yes, it all leads back to the concept of "the patriarchy".

Look –

If highlighting the genitals of the person committing an act of violence is more important than sympathising with the victims of such violence, then you’re a shitty person.

Pointing out such a thing gives no solace to the male victim, it doesn't make the crime hurt less, or not matter.

Asking what sex the assailant is, as a means of minimising their target, is no different to asking what a woman was wearing, to minimise sexual harassment against her.

It's victim blaming.

Except a man cannot go home and change his sex.

I'm tired of this "by other men" stupidity.

Did you know FGM is mostly "by other women"?

Did you know lesbian relationships, which often see the highest rates of violence, is "by other women"?

Did you know that most misogynistic tweets are "by other women"?

No. Because highlighting such a thing is no better.

To me, it's not shitty people that I worry about most.

It's shitty people who are drunk on their own sense of perceived moral superiority, who are light-years away from realising they are absolutely part of the problem too.

Get a grip. Grow up.

[TheTinMen @TheTinMenBlog]

Germany's Police association chief Dirk Peglow says women "should avoid men" because of "statistics".

But the latest stats in Germany find an even larger percentage of men (6.1%) experienced IPV than women (5.2%), in the last five years.

So are we all avoiding each other now?

[Isabel Brown @theisabelb]

In the aftermath of Taylor Frankie Paul's video throwing a chair at her ex and the Bachelorette being cancelled, women across TikTo kare making videos pretending to abuse their boyfriends/fiances/husbands and laughing.

They *must* deserve it, because they're men, right? 😢

Imagine for just a second if the roles were reversed here and *men* were making these videos about abusing their wives. 👀

Apparently the most stable marriage arrangement in the Netherlands is between two men.

The least stable is between two women.

[Lisa Britton @LisaBritton]

In the wake of the recent Taylor Frankie Paul abuse video, it's time we confront a flaw in how domestic violence is still discussed: the persistent narrative that casts women solely as victims and men solely as perpetrators.

This one-sided framing helps no one. If we’re truly committed to lowering domestic violence rates, we must expand the conversation to include and address female abusers.

We need to take action now. This will help men, children, other women, and even the abusive women themselves to get the help they need.

"All disciplines showed leftward movement between 1990 and 2024."

So, the collapse of communism resulted in academia turning MORE left-wing.

I welcome intelligent explanations as to why that may have been the case.

Lots of media bodies choosing to report on this horrific case

Not the Guardian

I suspect it doesn’t align with their agenda

Anyone remember when Amy Schumer proudly admitted to raping a drunk man at college?

Schumer:
'Finally, the door opens. It’s Matt, but not really.

He’s there, but not really. His face is kind of distorted, and his eyes seem like he can’t focus on me. He’s actually trying to see me from the side, like a shark.

“Hey!” he yells, too loud, and gives me a hug, too hard.

He’s fucking wasted.

(...) And then came the sex, and I use that word very loosely.

His penis was so soft, it felt like one of those de-stress things that slips from your hand?'

And this wasn't a story that was secretly recorded with a hidden microphone, or something overhead backstage; she literally read it out loud, as a speech, at a Gala for 'powerful women', hosted by @MsMagazine.

Full speech:
