Interesting and sobering, article in the Critic that names names. It won't be as widely read as it should be.

https://thecritic.co.uk/cancel-culture-in-academia/

A lot of it echos stuff I've read on here and elsewhere. The ignorance that the genderists have in the terms that they use. Deliberate ignorance because they know but can't admit that the terms are baseless.

I thought of pasting this article in one of any number of existing threads but thought it links to so many, all the cancellations, all the threats and violence, that it deserved its own.

I haven't seen an existing thread, apologies if I've missed one.

It may not qualify for its own thread, but a job advert for a rare tenure track job at the US' to ranked public University illustrates the way things may be going over there.

Note the need for "a statement that addresses past and/or potential contributions to equity, diversity, and inclusion"

Posting on MN presumably would not count.

Chimes totally with what I’m seeing in academia tbh.

One of the scariest things I've ever read. We're in serious trouble.
