There is a new theory to explain climate change. It makes as much sense as all the others so is certainly worth considering. Rory Sutherland is behind this latest hypothesis in the Spectator and it is known as ‘gynogenic climate change’:
This is a theory which holds that the planet is warming up, but that it is women who are principally to blame. Not only do they heat homes to an annoyingly high temperature (the gender divide in temperature preference is scientifically proven), but it is women who drive the greater part of all senseless material consumption. The amount spent worldwide on female fashion and beauty products exceeds worldwide expenditure on education. It is also women who are responsible for valuable resources which could be devoted to making ever larger televisions or craft beer being squandered on making Farrow & Ball paint and rosé wine.
As Sutherland explains this is called the Ginger Rogers theory because all she ever did was copy Fred Astaire but in the opposite direction:
I’ve been influenced in this endeavor by what my friend Paul Bloom calls “the Ginger Rogers theory of information”. In any information system, some ideas will propagate much more than others simply because they appeal to people’s existing prejudices. Information which runs counter to one or other worldview will be repressed or discounted unless it reaches a very high standard of proof — which is exactly why it deserves extra credence. If you see a report in the Guardian suggesting that widespread gun ownership reduces the rate of domestic burglary, you can assume it is an unassailably robust finding. The same goes for a finding in the Daily Telegraph that raising the minimum wage is a good thing, say, or that working from home boosts productivity.

Is equity what they want? I thought it was the elimination of melanin-deficient skin in toto. And Y chromosomes that belong to people that identify as male.
I thought they were there to learn about data science not nobs and knockers!
I do despair really. Trying to redpill young* intelligent people is such hard work – they just want to get on with their lives and pretend all this mad, evil stuff isn’t going on because it’s too horrible to contemplate. They just hope it will all go away of its own accord. But it won’t.
*I have limited energy and the young are the future.
And what about when the fighting starts?
Indeed. I kind of thought that “covid” would have woken more people up than it did as it was so obviously a complete scam, but it’s been memory-holed.
This did make me laugh!
This is the Met police aiming to meet their DEI quota back in the 1930s. I have a feeling the definition of ”hefty” ( not to mention, ”fairly good looking”, LOL ) has changed somewhat since those days. Doubt there were many ‘Lesbian Nanas’ floating about either…

Priceless
I just told the wife about having to be hefty, I just mentioned she could have joined!
I’m still mopping my blood off the ceiling
My grandmother was a teacher in the 1920s and when she and my grandfather married she had to give up work – maybe that was the law then, it was certainly the rule in the teaching profession.
Diversity is the 21st century word for discrimination.
Substitute diversity for discrimination and the meaning of the sentence immediately.
No doubt they will all be white male scientists. ——–The destruction of the west continues via the 5 main agendas —-Equality Diversity Race Gender and Climate.
It no longer matters as one of the males could wear a dress, buy some Tampax and claim to be a woman to ‘even’ up the statistics.
funny but true
“Four new scientists, including experts from UCL and Imperial College London, were hired to help lead those efforts.”
UCL and Imperial. These four new blokes are bloody plants for Billy’s mob.
That is the story in a nutshell.
Give qualifications to an AI machine and let it decide. May the best scientist win.
Were the men the best candidates for the job? If they were, then what’s the problem.
All these DIE targets are destroying Britain socially and economically. Cut it out and grow up.
