It's the way of business majors. Show up for four years, gut the system, put on your CV how much you've changed the system and get a new position. It works for chancellors and provosts as well. Fuck up a university. Take millions in salary. "Retire" meaning you stay salaried from university #1 and move on to another university pulling double salary while fuckin that one too and so on. It's a ponzi scheme at this point.

The only endurance race with a large enough sample size to conclude women are better at that particular sport is long distance swimming, where it is thought their natural upper body buoyancy gives them a biological edge. The other sports are too niche to determine if there's a gender difference or individual difference.
Males and females are built different, something understood by humanity until a few years ago when a small slice of it went insane. As long distance swimming shows, it is possible for an athletic competition to exist where the biology of females gives them an edge over males. But that's not what activists are pushing. They want everyone to believe that females are as good at basketball as males, which simply isn't the case. When you show that head to head males destroy females in such competitions, they claim that's because females aren't given the same resources as males instead of observing the obvious biological differences that give males a performance edge.
It's weird that they keep pushing on things that are obviously untrue instead of focusing on creating athletic competitions that advantage female biology. Long distance swimming is one such competition. There are some like Netball that males rarely play so we don't know if females are better than males or not. We do know that in sports like football, males are better due to biology. It seems unlikely that long distance swimming is the only possibility for a female advantaged sport but activists don't like putting in hard work to create, they just want to wear the skinsuit of what others have created and call it their own.

It's easy in tennis: if women and men were totally equal, then a female training against purely other females would be just as strong as a man training purely against other men. So for instance the velocity of the ball would be identical for this woman and this man.

It turns out they are not.

In her defense, SciAm has been a trash publication since at least the turn of the century. If you have any significant specialty knowledge of science then you noticed how shitty the publication was when it covered your field. However the overwhelming majority of people do not have such knowledge so most people don't recognize how shit it is, plus a lot of retards will read a terrible and misleading article about their own field and then get the Gell-Mann amnesia effect and presume that articles they lack background info on are accurate.

I independently discovered that while reading Scientific American, it wasn't until years later that I found out Gell-Mann had already placed his name on the concept

all mainstream 'science' publications are like this, just thinly disguised political propaganda
>>
>>16534254
Why is it that all of the mainstream publications that are "just thinly disguised political propaganda" are all propagandizing one set of views and one political agenda?
If we lived in a truly free society wouldn't all sets of views and agendas have their own propaganda outlets?
>>

stop being so antisemitic
>>
>>16535270
It's a combination of several things. Because so much of science is reliant on government funding, "science" wants big government. There's also the quirk of religious people being more conservative than non-religious people while science is somewhat anti-religion, at least currently. Then you have that journalists for whatever reason tend to have lots of mental and substance abuse problems, both of which are more closely related to leftist ideology than to conservationism.
>>
>>16535270
All dying media goes left, all left media dies.
Bad propaganda pushes out good readers.
What percentage of American scientists read scientific American magazine in the 60s... maybe 50%? Maybe more? Now look at the nu-left SciAm subscriber numbers as a percentage of scientists, or a percentage of Americans.
0.00609% of the worlds population reads that shitty dying magazine... The other 99.9939% of the planets population won't even pick up a copy to line a birdcage or wrap fish; it is a dying media, how could it not be ultra leftist?

If women are better at long distance swimming than why do men have all the long distance world records and in almost all competitions they finish several hours faster? This seems like a myth.
