Here is the translation – as well as then that y'all may larn around Czech dark sense of humour as well as around thought whether the Czech taxpayers (who soundless contribute to CERN – but I already began to move on changing this situation) stand upward on the side of Strumia or on the side of the lynching mob.
Professor questioned discrimination of women inwards science, CERN ended cooperation with him

The Italian professor Alessandro Strumia from University of Pisa as well as a researcher affiliated with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) was suspended due to his lecture where he disputed the discrimination of women inwards the plain of particle physics. The affair was reported past times the BBC, the intermission was fifty-fifty confirmed past times the official press release [link] of CERN.

Alessandro Strumia has participated inwards a block of talks that was meant to live dedicated to the gender problems of the field. The audience which was composed primarily of women was seriously offended past times the talk, however. The argue is that he had prepared his inquiry aiming to test that if at that topographic point were whatsoever discrimination, it was discrimination against men. As evidence, he used e.g. the headlines indicating numerous advantages for women. "Italy: complimentary or cheaper study for woman mortal students of STEM (natural scientific as well as technological fields, comment past times editors)," was written inwards the championship of i of his slides.
On hand of that, he has presented a sequence of graphs that, equally he believes, test that women are existence hired patch much to a greater extent than well-cited (in articles past times others) are existence rejected. "Physics is non sexist towards women. Nevertheless, the truth doesn't thing because all of this is a utilisation of a political battle that is coming from outside," Strumia said during the talk.
According to an official press release, CERN didn't know anything close the content of the lecture as well as it afterward decided to take the recording of the lecture from the Web.
"CERN has suspended this scientist from all activists with the immediate trial patch the investigation of the lastly week's events volition live ongoing," the press release says. "CERN is a culturally various organization that brings lots of people of many nationalities together who are given the same opportunities regardless of their ethnicity, faith, gender, or sexual orientation," the contention also says.

Then he could live re-hired. (new comment)

Potrebny: This is the fate of everybody who volition query the novel liberal religion. (18 upvotes)
Zweistein: So CERN has alone confirmed the accuracy of Prof Strumia's lecture. :-) Why should nosotros live surprised when, equally a outcome of the quotas, scientists no longer think past times their heads but past times their genders [i.e. past times their dickheads], y'all know... :-) (16 upvotes)
* Pasovec: Look, this self-invited scientist dared to query the discrimination of women. And he wasn't fifty-fifty repelled to abuse the facts to compass that goal. And produce y'all dare to defend him? (10 upvotes)

Janka: All the women inwards the audience, who possess got but completed their degrees for a discounted tuition, were offended. (13 upvotes)
* Negramot: It would live wonderful to interview all chiefs (and chiefesses) of the inquiry institutes inwards particle physics as well as inquire what they produce to discriminate women. All of them volition hope that they don't produce it because women possess got all the advantages. The same inwards the editorial teams of proficient journals. Progressively right determination of this survey: Women are soundless existence discriminated against, nevertheless. (4 upvotes)
* Roll: [they possess got studied] Gender sciences.
Leones: If y'all are a dark Muslim lesbian with an amputated leg, y'all don't demand whatsoever qualification but y'all demand to live literate. The doors of CERN volition ever live opened upward for you. (13 upvotes)
* Krk: It already has a shout – it's called the postmeritocratic society. In the novel age, your success tin no longer depend on your abilities, that's obvious from mutual sense.
* Miky: She was already existence seeked past times Sir Humphrey Appleby as well as everyone else inwards the 1980s... Not fifty-fifty a mortal inwards Czech Republic of the deep 1990s could fully appreciate the wretched British humor. :( (3 upvotes)
Negramot: This is genuinely already McCarthyism, but similar the Buruma affair. I tin disagree with him, I tin mock him, but I hope that a human should alone live fired if he does something incorrect or has poor results, for around "expert blunder". When facing these "liberal" Savonarols, fifty-fifty CERN – which is an eagle that shouldn't select grip of flies – is already preemptively šitted into its pants. (10 upvotes)
* Pasovec: Please, don't speak delusions. Women are discriminated against, everyone knows it. And he starts to exhibit numbers as well as graphs instead... What else could possess got they done? (6 upvotes)
** Negramot: I acknowledge that numbers as well as graphs were genuinely an unforgivable provocation. He mentally stayed confined inwards the walls of his field, instead of destroying these obsolete walls and, inwards cooperation with the culturally various colleagues, replacing the numbers past times empathy, consciousness, as well as goodness will. (10 upvotes)
** Roll: Graphs, numbers. By heart, produce y'all understand? You must justice things past times your heart. (8 upvotes)
*** Orebice: By heart. Like Ms Brožová-Polednová :-) [the fanatical communist justice who decided close the execution of Dr Ms Milada Horáková inwards the early on 1950s] (5 upvotes)

* Negramot: Right but the similarity is inwards the fact that the master copy goodness intent gets wildly as well as fanatically overdone as well as becomes perverted as well as then that the outcome begins to resemble the evil that was originally fought against. (1 upvote)
* Cech: So [in Moravian dialect] let's live grateful that nosotros alive inwards Bohemia but this insanity may knock our door, too. (10 upvotes)
** Roll: It's a thing of fourth dimension (7 upvotes)
*** Cech: As long equally those of us who shout back the communist methods are around, nosotros volition travail difficult non to allow such a thing here. (6 upvotes)
**** Zhor: In that case, nosotros must inquire why most of the 60+ years one-time people vote for the communist rat Mr Babiš from a communist household unit of measurement similar a belt [a hardcore one] :). (1 upvote)
***** Mik: No, they don't. (1 upvote)
****** Zhor: Especially inwards the grouping inwards a higher house sixty years, where the social republic as well as communists used to win, 41% gave its vote to the ANO movement. Most [he way the largest part] of the voters [written with a serious grammer error, deliberately, to request their uneducated status] (who shout back the totalitarian regime) picked ANO, communists got 13%, SPD 10%, Social democrats 9%, as well as the residue is divided past times other parties. These statistics don't seem to confirm the contention of Mr Cech that the people who shout back communism are preventing the supply of communism. Most of these one-time people back upward the communists as well as their variations, unfortunately so.
******* Orebice: But 41% is non a majority. On hand of that, non all members of this historic menstruation grouping may live counted with the people who soundless "remember" the things.
******** Zhor: You possess got to empathize it inwards the context...
OK, it's also long. There are around 100 extra comments at that topographic point that are to a greater extent than oft than non similar, except for the comments e.g. past times the hated cultural Marxist Mr Jiri Jilek at the really bottom. At whatsoever rate, this is non but the sentiment of Echo24.cz readers. You would larn a similar feedback at the centre right iDnes.cz as well as the left-wing-or-apolitical Novinky.cz servers. My impression is that a Czech politico who would cutting the Czech ties to CERN would earn a lot of voters for his or her party. And it should live done, equally a gesture – because the Czech contribution to CERN is purely symbolic.
