At a Workshop Last Week, a CERN Scientist Said 'Physics Was Invented and Built by Men -- Not By Invitation'; CERN Has Suspended the Scientist (bbc.com)
New submitter ilguido writes: At a workshop organized by CERN, Prof Alessandro Strumia of Pisa University said that "physics was invented and built by men, it's not by invitation", BBC reported Monday. Strumia's presentation [Google Drive link] that supports the idea that "physics is not sexist against women[...], however the truth does not matter, because it is part of a political battle coming from outside" has already received a lot of criticism, with one female physicist defining Strumia's analysis as "simplistic, drawing on ideas that had long been discredited." In a statement on Sunday, CERN said, "It is unfortunate that one of the 38 presentations, by a scientist from one of the collaborating universities, risks overshadowing the important message and achievements of the event. CERN, like many members of the community, considers that the presentation, with its attacks on individuals, was unacceptable in any professional context and was contrary to the CERN Code of Conduct. It, therefore, decided to remove the slides from the online repository." On Monday, CERN said it has suspended the scientist from any activity at CERN with immediate effect, pending investigation into last week's event.
And Newton's Principia is a "rape manual". Didn't you know? Allow me to quote: "Because "it privileges the speed of light over other speeds that are vitally necessary to us. What seems to me to indicate the possible Sexed nature of the equation is not directly its uses by nuclear weapons, rather it is having privileged what goes the fastest."
Also:
"The privileging of solid over fluid mechanics, and indeed the inability of science to deal with turbulent flow at all, we attribute to the association of fluidity with femininity. Whereas men have sex organs that protrude and become rigid, women have openings that leak menstrual blood and vaginal fluids...
"From this perspective it is no wonder that science has not been able to arrive at a successful model for turbulence. The problem of turbulent flow cannot be solved because the conceptions of fluids (and of women) have been formulated so as necessarily to leave unarticulated remainders"

But they didn't that, did they. All they did was spout platitudes designed to placate the SJW crowd.
In the current uber-politically-correct world, placating the SJW crowd is pretty much the only thing that matters anymore. Don't do that and you are automatically a racist, sexist, xenophobe, and other sassy words that end in "ist" and "phobe."
Like scientist???
He denounces "victimocracy" before declaring himself a martyr in the very next slide.
No, no no, you just don't get it, you leftist. See, when the alt-right talks about how the entire world is against them, it's them holding up the shining light of truth and justice to the lies of liberals with their participation trophies and de-masculinization of society via gay frogs, chemtrails, and (((globalists))).
For everyone *else*, it's just a narrative of perpetual victimization and affirmative action, and now these Clintontian __FEMALES__ want to muscle in on good old merit-based slashdot, last bastion of the put-upon upper-middle class IT dork.
