So... what’s the reason they keep getting pulled?
We did have some overly sensitive admin monitors for a while who were sensitive over another topic,

Heterosexual men and lesbians, both groups overweight compared to women overall and homosexual men. What could they possibly have in common?

No reason to study it.
It all comes down to the basic assumptions of their worldview...
