Nobel scientist Tim Hunt: female scientists cause trouble for men in labs

English biochemist tells conference women in laboratories ‘fall in love with you and when you criticise them, they cry’

Scientists should work in gender-segregated labs, according to a Nobel laureate, who said the trouble with “girls” is that they cause men to fall in love with them and cry when criticised.

Tim Hunt, an English biochemist who admitted that he has a reputation for being a “chauvinist”, said to the World Conference of Science Journalists in Seoul, South Korea: “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.”

First of all: never fall in love with coworkers.

Second of all: never fall in love with coworkers.

Third of all: gender segregation in science is even dumber than denying global warming. Even if his stereotypes were somehow remotely true, his solution sucks worse than anything in the universe.

Fourth of all: there's just not enough Excedrin for this.

Science smarts and people smarts don't necessarily coincide.

Apparently science smarts and keeping-your-job smarts don't coincide either. I heard dude got fired.

He's drawing his lines in the sand to support his idiosyncratic definitions of 'good' and 'bad' feminism.

What's so idiosyncratic about that? It's reality. Feminism isn't inherently bad - the radicals, however, are little different from Conservatism.

Ever heard of Horseshoe Theory?

Or are you just one of those extremist nutters who can't tolerate ANY criticism of any strain of feminism at all?

BTW it's not drawing a line in the sand. It's called EGALITARIANISM, son.
