The fact that we have to have a "March for Science" is frightening

Since when did science become the enemy? When it told us things we didn't want to hear?

Remember in the Middle Ages when the Church was the center of knowledge? Good times.

The fact that you think the March is necessary is frightening

Our problems would be fixed if women, BLM, and ANTIFA were marching for science instead of their non-descript purposes

Since some people conflate science with climate change and others reject the biology of the sexes.

Science, as with this march, has become a political weapon.

It is absurd.

Also, Sociology isn't a science.

when it became very politicized. see: The Real War on Science

also the makeup of academia and the systemic biases and prejudices of academics doesn't help their cause. See: Trouble at the lab

when it went off the motherfricking rails

Example

quote:

The office of BGLTQ Student Life at Harvard University has released a new school-sponsored guide telling students to “fight transphobia” and “get the facts about gender diversity.”

The guide, which was distributed to students on campus, declares that “there are more than two sexes” and that “gender is fluid and changing,” adding that someone’s gender identity “can be affirmed and/or expressed in many ways,” and can even “change from day to day.”

When people who insisted that changing your gender was healthy behavior were told they were wrong.

speaking of STEM

why do progressives support a group/system that reinforces the institutional values of patriarchy and is a major factor in creating the gender wage gap?

You should join one of the many Louisiana-based hunting groups on Facebook. You would not be at all surprised at this.

Science is the enemy when it doesn't support your opinion. As is the case with many hunters on our fine state.

It's not really a march for science. It's a left wing circle jerk with science as this week's excuse to go out and promote their leftist ideology.

Massive, massive projection. Leftists are the ones that suppress science

again

this applies to many, MANY beliefs of liberals and progressives

it's just that they seized on the niche industry of academia decades ago and now hold a stranglehold on the elite class of the intelligentsia. they get to decide what is worthy of study, what gets published, and literally prevent studies/data that attacks their beliefs to become public

I wonder what these marchers think about biology and what science says defines a man and a woman.

Like when university students can be removed from campus and told they're committing acts of violence for merely stating they don't accept gender fluidity?

I'm pretty liberal about social issues, but when you start to tell me that your gender can change daily, I think you have some sort of personality disorder or some chemical imbalance.

Like the science that our sex is encoded in our DNA and that no amount of outside hormones or genital mutilation can change that. That a dress and your made up gender doesn't magically make you a woman.

Let's embrace all science. You don't get to cherry pick what science you believe because it supports your agenda.
