"You might think _they’d_ be protesting outside my door. They are not. I teach a class here called Sex Differences in the Brain. It has a max of 60 people, and it’s enrolled about to the max. My students come out of the class going, “Wow, I had no idea about this stuff!” I point out to them that there are people on this campus in the Gender Studies Department who use books by one of these ideologues and literally have classes basically saying that what I’m saying is wrong."
It is blatantly obvious what he means by "ideologues".

It's the difference between saying "conservatives are anti-science" and stating the same thing about creationists or climate-change denialists.
- bjourne 8y agoWe all have a problem with people promoting junk science! I guess what we differ on, is whether we believe such people are common in academia.
