My thanks to Sean for pointing me to this, a report by American ‘researchers’ on senior academics in US medical schools. Sean said in his email:
Another piece for the J4MB ‘You couldn’t make this s*** up!’ file.
For what it’s worth, ‘men with moustaches’ includes ‘men with moustaches along with other facial hair’. From the article:
The authors said: ‘Facial hair has been shown to enhance perceptions of maturity, responsibility, dominance, strength, and self-confidence.’
They said the study backed up a recent analysis of 90,000 academic doctors, which found that women were less likely to be full professors even after they accounted for factors such as age and how much research they had carried out.
They added: ‘The proportion of women in academic medicine remains low and drops with increasing academic rank. This is a problem not only because of the strong ethical argument for equality but also for practical reasons: in business having more women leaders has been linked with better performance.’
I know of no ethical arguments, strong or otherwise, for artificially increasing the proportion of jobs given to women at the expense of men. As for the weasel words, ‘in business having more women leaders has been linked with better performance’, do I really need to cite again the compelling evidence of a causal link between ‘more women on boards’ and corporate financial decline? If so, it’s here.

I will just leave this link here.
BTW if feminists want to talk about equality, are they gong to stop women practicing hypergamy when they get their equal outcomes frmo quotas, or do women get to keep the gender roles that benefit them?

The ‘more women equals better performance’ nonsense seems to have become as firmly entrenched and deeply rooted as the ‘gender pay gap’ lie.

A thought occurs to me (I often have such thoughts, and they all lead in the same direction – what is the real cost to society, men, the economy and the environment of the western woman?):
I’ll use bullet points:
‘Women’ (i.e. teenaged girls) make up more than half those accepting places to study medicine. How does the number of those dropping out compare to their male contemporaries, is it proportionate?
Given the sex bias in education shown by Collins or Purdy (?), how much personal teaching is given, per student, to females compared to males? This question includes any and all variation in the relative figures for male and female teachers so that the consideration is not just whether female students actually need more personal teaching than males but also whether the teachers given them more attention regardless of need.
Until very recently, assuming the normal state pension qualifying ages and all things being equal, the working life of a female doctor was five years less than a male, and the female index linked, final salary pension span was, on average, ten years longer.
This is the most important, I think, and needs thinking through carefully before being developed as an argument but the essential premise is sound, I think: Given that the health service prioritises and spends more on women’s health than men’s, the problems caused by women doctors choices’ can be assumed to affect men more than women (how many men with genuine and well founded concerns about male specific cancers are fobbed off until nothing can be done for them, how many denied life enhancing cancer drugs compared to women, how many left for hours on trolleys compared to women, how many discharged prematurely compared to women, how many neglected by inattentive and unsympathetic nurses compared to women? for example). I’m basing these questions on what I think is the not unreasonable assumption that where services are failing men who are already being severely disadvantaged by an institutionally sexist organisation will, as a matter of policy, suffer further deprivation in order that women shall not. To put it bluntly when the ship is sinking the women aboard will expect priority in the queues for the lifeboats and will whine and wail if told they cannot have it. Whatever happens, women must not take responsibility for the consequences of their choices.
The average cost of a woman doctor’s medical training divided by her career span compared to those for men needs to be investigated. To that cost needs to be added the average cost of women doctors’ childcare and pensions. When all of that is added up we might well see some startling ‘gender pay gap’ figures.

PS: I see that Angry Harry (thanks for the link tamerlame) has addressed nearly the same issues, albeit from a slightly different and less androcentric perspective.

the other day I was watching the National Geographic channel about wildlife and the fact male lions often kill cubs in order to mate and create their own offspring.
The female presenter then said that testosterone is the root of all evil.
I am not making this up !
