Predictable and pathetic. Excerpts:
Azita Chellappoo, equality and diversity officer at Wolfson College, told the Daily Mail that university quizzing societies can be ‘very hostile to women’…
She said: ‘The underrepresentation of women on University Challenge is a big problem.
In plain English:
Wah!
Wah!!
Wah!!!
One ‘solution’ to Special Snowflake’s ‘big problem’ will be understood by anyone with a functioning brain – feminists being excluded, by definition. Every seat of learning that wishes to put forward teams on University Challenge should field two teams, one all-male, one all-female. They should compete under University Challenge rules, and the winning team enter the official competition. The outcome in the final will inevitably be the same as last night, all-male teams. Cue yet more feminist whining.

Justice for Men & Boys 
The extreme kind of geeky, slightly autistic intelligence which is required to win University Challenge seems to be almost entirely possessed by males. There is some evidence, I believe, that the range of intelligence is less for women, so while on average men and women are of equal intelligence, the exceptionally stupid and the exceptionally bright tend to be male. That’s just the way it is – if I’m correct – and ideology is not going to influence it.
The idea of quotas would be absolutely horrendous for the unfortunate women who find themselves sitting on teams purely because of their gender. How exquisitely embarrassing to have to sit in silence, watching the proceedings, unable to contribute for fear of revealing the real reason why you are on the team. It would be like putting skinny weaklings into the Boat Race crews, all in the name of equality and diversity.

It’s quite obvious to me that there’s something significantly different between men and women on a neurological/behavioural level. The top chess players are all men. The top snooker players are all men. And yet they allow women to compete with men. Why is that? There HAS to be a biological reason.

To me it doesn’t matter. The point is that men and women in many aspects of their lives choose differently. Not an avid UC viewer even I have seen the occasional female competitor. As with so many things it seems males choose competitions. It might be quite possible that there are many super brainy women out there, as geeky as the guys. but they don’t want to compete in “games” . Its not a problem, just life.

HOW is it a “big problem”?
In what way, shape or form does it manifest?
Is society itself damaged in some serious way?
I can say with some certainty that society WILL be damaged very seriously
by there being a glut of impoverished, unemployable, un-marriageable and very angry young men with no prospects, caused by by the deliberate feminisation of school and university education.
What will they HAVE to turn to?
Crime, drug dealing, violent robbery?
There won’t be enough women to supply the needs of science, medicine, engineering, commercial investing, areas where Britain once led the world.
We will have to import these professionals — IF we can, for who will want to come to a country willfully crippled by a hellish combination of stupidity, greed, and Marxism?
And even then, what of the real problem of those men thus disenfranchised.
Eventually it will have to be mitigated somehow and at what financial, social and human cost.
For the sins of the mothers shall be visited on the sons.
