It has affected my view of professionals.
I am increasingly sceptical against minorities as well as females in various professions.
In my opinion, the people who should rise up and challenge this nonsense first and foremost is intelligent people of colour and females and whatnot.
Because their market value is rapidly declining because of this. (Next step is of course a government mandate to hire and a set salary - for “equality”)
And, insanity?
A few weeks ago there were massive student protests against a lecturer that had said males were on average taller than women. People are literally protesting reality.
Gravity?
I guess gravity is weightist since it affects fat people (ever ever so slightly) more.
BAN gravity. Perhaps I should not give them any ideas.

They are going to ruin the reputation of female scientists the same way they did it for black physicians. It used to be that for a black to become a Dr meant he was at least as good as a white. Then they started admitting and graduating them using affirmative action. Now I wouldn’t trust one to work on my dog.
I have worked with many good female scientists and can tell you that they they are very capable of doing “empirical science”. There is no need to dumb down anything or raise questions about their ability.
