"Let me tell you the trouble with girls. Three things happen when they're in the lab. You fall in love with them, the fall in love with you, and when you criticise them they cry'. As offensive remarks go this must represent one of the most inoffensive imaginable. Especially when the offender is a Nobel Prize-winning scientist who himself is married to a (female - we have to clarify gender these days) scientist.
But it was enough to get him forced out of his job at University College London.
And you see that's the whole point. Because the Thought Police Commissars want to make us fearful of speaking our minds and the more truthful and harmless the offence the more effective the ensuing punishment. Here's an explanation from Theodore Dalrymple (a truly good Jew).
"In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to."
And therein lies my disappointment with Prof. Hunt's reaction. Boilerplate grovelling retractions and apologies all round. When will they learn? Such grovelling serves merely to whet the appetites of the shrieking careerist dykes and their snivelling manboobed enablers. Like throwing a stuck pig into shark-infested waters. Fight back! Don't concede the moral high ground. Force them to justify their absurd positions. Escalate. Sue them for the distress that you have suffered. The only apology should be 'I apologise for not offending you more than I did'. See how the bastards react. They're totally unprepared for fight-back of any kind.
Remember that after the Crucifixion came the Resurrection.
And on that note I'll leave you with a few inspiring thoughts from some inspiring people.
"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds'
- Samuel Adams
'The truth is like a lion. Set it free. It will defend itself'
- St. Augustine
And the most important:'If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my children may live in peace'.
- Tom Paine
