Completely sexist and out of touch.

What are your thoughts?

Silly old fart that should retire to potter around in the shed, doing experiments.

Maybe the ones he works with did that, some women do those thiings to be fair.

Here's Milo Yiannopoulos's take on it

Here's Milo Yiannopoulos's take on it

loooool. how is it sexist? it is the truth. women are factually (he is a scientist after all.. one with a Nobel prize; you don't just get those you know) much more emotional than men. they cry more. they cause more drama. they are much more emotionally & psychologically manipulative than men are - and will use it to their advantage: e.g. seducing the examiner to ensure they get a good grade or crying when their work is criticized to ensure that they don't recieve the same punishment that the other sexes, in a similar position, would've received.. therefore they are much more sensitive (whether consciously/knowingly to further their own agenda or as a means of exploitation); therefore would require 'cry-rooms' (there's a couple in my school and the very idea pisses me off).

besides; with all the medias' shutting up of people/activists (such as this) with buzzwords such as mysogynistic or sexist e.t.c - for agendas or movements/ideologies that don't match their own; it's high time someone came out with the truth and didn't retract the statement. women are equal to men; but at the same time, the species have their differences. he didn't in anyway say that this was a bad thing; but only pointed out that the lab isn't the same as the love-making room. get over your entitlement. after all, it is a LAB; not a place to fall in love; and with the amount of time that is taken to fall in and out of love, earth-shattering breakthroughs might've been made.

in addition, this is the same media that focused more on the scientist that did something amazing in space; but couldn't get over the fact that he wore a shirt that had comical value. i blame feminism.

finally, the irony of threads such as this, is the very fact that he describes what is happening right now. that is, he is pointing out that women get offended easily (whether knowingly or not); by having YOU get offended easily to his post/comment. Check-mate.

I knew he would be a tit as soon as I saw his hair.

He has a point. Mixed schools are also a bad idea because they hold girls back.

I'm probably wrong but I'm guessing you mean 'holding back' as in boys distracting them?

While it is true that girls are distracted by boys and boys by girls, isn't it something that they'll have to eventually get used to anyway when we enter the world of work?

Again, I'm probably guessing wrong so ignore my post if I am

I think he means in gender segregated schools,girls aren't held back or put off by stereotypes like that physics and engineering are just for boys.
Alot of women who do these subjects at uni come from segregated schools.
