Embarrassingly, evolutionary biology is dragged into the debate to justify beliefs about women about their incompetencies. “Scientific sexism” seems to be having a moment alongside scientific racism

Pronouns are words. There is nothing "biological" about them. Some languages have gendered personal pronouns, some don't. Some languages have gendered nouns for every inanimate object. Some languages have no gendered pronouns. Some have no personal pronouns *at all!*

If there were people around the country committing violence against Catholic priests and attempting to burn them to death in their beds, would Simon Harris and the rest of our politicians, the very next day, take to the media to demand a debate on whether there were too many priests in Ireland?

Thanks, Robert. I enjoyed the interview with David although time is always very short with these things and we can only ever scratch the surface.
