Louise Mensch gets smacked down again


According to Louise Mensch, the Korea Federation of Women’s Science and Technology (KOFWST), the organization that hosted Tim Hunt’s now notorious speech at a luncheon, the Korean scientists at the event were not at all offended by his jokes about same-sex labs and women crying and falling in love all the time. Unfortunately for her, the Menschian deluge of excuses hand now been strongly repudiated by the federation. They have posted a statement publicly and also directly addressed to Mensch a request that she read it.

In light of this, KOFWST issues a warning about the ongoing serious distortion of facts by foreign commentators, suggesting that KOFWST has lied, or that KOFWST’s request to Sir Hunt was influenced by foreign journalists. Such allegations ignore undeniable facts and evidence and demonstrate a lack of regard for KOFWST’s autonomy and integrity.

They clearly don’t know Mensch at all. This is going to prompt a whole new series of conspiracy theories: obviously, the Anti-Tim-Hunt-Syndicate has bought out all of Korean science just to get Louise Mensch. And Tim Hunt, that goes without saying.

    This story would have been over long ago if dishonest arseholes hadn’t continued lying about it.

    I can’t understand why Hunt’s “defenders” keep reminding the world about his faux pas instead of letting it quietly fade away.

    Simple, they’re scared shitless about losing their male privilege, where the will have to get their own coffee, make their own sammich, and treat women and POC with the same respect they wish to receive.

    Also, they want to prove that his life was totally destroyed and he was forced to go into hiding on a deserted island because of political correctness run amok.
