‘Woke’ researchers claim scientists should ignore biology and drop terms like ‘male,’ ‘female,’ ‘mother,’ ‘father’
It just became even more obvious that culture-destroying left-wing ideology is further infiltrating the sciences after ‘woke’ researchers made some new demands of the scientific community.
According to the New York Post, “alternatives to terms like ‘male’ and ‘female’ and ‘mother’ and ‘father’ should be sought in science because they assume that sex is binary and heterosexuality is the norm, a group of researchers from the US and Canada suggest.”
Let’s pause here — first and foremost, heterosexuality is “the norm” because if it wasn’t, heterosexuals would number only a few percent of the human population rather than the vast majority of it (and humans likely would have died out by now because there would be little to no procreation). Also, sex is binary; human chromosomes, with infinitesimal exceptions, only produce biological males and females. Now, let’s move on.
The Post notes further:
Male and female should instead be referred to as “sperm-producing” and “egg-producing,” the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) Language Project said, according to the Times of London. Meanwhile, father and mother should be labeled “parent,” “egg donor” and “sperm donor” in the scientific field. The group has called on the scientific field to use words that are more “inclusive and precise,” according to a press release from the University of British Columbia, which has three researchers in the initiative.
The term “inclusive” is used by the culture-destroying left to be interchangeable with “equality” but the two are not interchangeable. Equality is already something that most democracies have long achieved, thanks to the American model outlined in the Constitution. But “inclusive” in this sense is used by the left to introduce foreign concepts and false equivalencies as well as political initiatives designed to tear down our society, not improve or build it.
There are only two sexes, not three dozen like the woke left-wing ‘science’ community claims. “Inclusive” is not a scientific principle or term; it’s a political one as it is used here, and therefore has no business being applied to the scientific community.
The ‘researchers’ themselves prove these points by the language they use to justify these absurd recommendations.
“Much of Western science is rooted in colonialism, white supremacy and patriarchy, and these power structures continue to permeate our scientific culture,” project members wrote in the Trends in Ecology and Evolution journal.
Again, scientific facts have nothing to do with race, past colonial empires, or male-dominated societies. They are known facts independent of political theories, cultural influences, or social mores and values. Being a ‘woman’ or a ‘man’ does not depend on the governing structure of a country or how that country came into being; it only has to do with known human biology, period.
Now, ‘identifying’ as a woman or a man is a choice, and while the person doing the choosing may not be able to psychically refrain from doing so, that doesn’t make it any less of a choice. And those two genders have long been known.
What’s more, these ‘researchers’ who are making these absurd claims do not have a mandate from society to insist upon such absurdities. They have taken it upon themselves to advance their political and cultural ideologies and couched them in a pretend “need” to do so, per The Post.
UBC assistant professor Dr. Kaitlyn Gaynor said the undertaking began from a Twitter conversation among a few people about terminology that is potentially harmful.
“We reached out to different networks in ecology and evolution that were focused on increasing inclusion and equity in the field to rally support for one very specific action —revising terminology that might be harmful to certain people, particularly those from groups historically and currently excluded from science,” she said, according to the press release.
“Potentially harmful” to who? What makes language “harmful?” Only language that someone allows to be harmful to them.
This entire project is a sham. And if more people don’t push back on these blatant attempts to destroy Western civilization, then Western civilization will eventually be destroyed.
