No one doubts Science Minister Kirsty Duncan's passion for feminism and other politically-correct causes. But her crusade for gender quotas in scientific research is thin gruel, based on doubtful anecdotes and dodgy evidence. For example, she fails to acknowledge that the dramatic quote she uses from the journal Nature about science remaining "institutionally sexist" is more than four years old. It dates back to March, 2013. Now, it seems, the shoe is on the other foot. Science is still institutionally sexist, but more often than not it is men -- especially white men -- who are the victims of that sexism. They appear to be at the back of the bus when it comes to being funded/hired for research . . . at least in Canada. And Canadian universities appear to have gone overboard in their drive to discriminate against men in favor of women. Duncan's self-righteous, self-aggrandizing campaign will only make matters worse.
