Pervasive misogyny in modern Western societies is largely a myth; in the US, pro-female biases are now more common than anti-female biases across many domains

Gender biases in hiring have flipped around 2009—biases that historically favored men in male-stereotypical jobs now favor women, and biases that always favored women for female-stereotypical jobs persist

Media exhibit gamma bias: they headline female success or male failure by gender but use gender-neutral language for male success or female failure, systematically skewing public perception of which groups are succeeding and failing

Women in academia prioritize harm prevention and protective values, while men prioritize truth-seeking and academic freedom; as women have taken majority positions in academia, institutional goals have shifted from truth pursuit toward harm prevention

Women mentor female students with worse career outcomes than male mentors achieve with male mentees, yet the Alshibly paper documenting this was retracted after complaints it could harm women, preventing investigation into why this pattern exists and how to fix it

Evolutionary pressures created sex differences in mating competition and cooperation strategies: men evolved to compete in large coalitions and identify hierarchies, making them comfortable with inequality; women evolved to raise offspring in small groups, making them more egalitarian and focused on protecting vulnerable group members

In more egalitarian countries with greater gender freedom, gender differences in STEM enrollment actually increase; women in wealthy countries with strong male economic provision tend to choose caregiving over careers more than women in poor countries where economic pressure requires STEM entry

Male academic population is declining as women now dominate undergraduate through faculty levels; this demographic trajectory cannot be reversed without significant policy changes, making the male academic increasingly rare within 20 years

Progressive individuals talk down to Black people and present less self-confidence when interacting with Black people, while conservatives treat Black and white people similarly, suggesting progressive paternalism is more infantilizing than conservative similarity

Science has lost public trust because institutional censorship and political influence make it appear science is politically driven rather than truth-driven, undermining the credibility of scientific institutions regardless of censorship intentions

Clark recruited approximately 10-11% of psychology professors at top 130 US institutions (approximately 500 professors) for survey; sample size substantial enough to support generalizable findings about academic attitudes

Clark's research on psychologist attitudes toward censorship has faced institutional complaint through IRB; participant complained that survey questions about controversial conclusions would be 'jarring' to underrepresented groups

Clark is attempting to popularize adversarial collaborations in science where researchers work with intellectual opponents; most men approached have agreed while most women approached have declined, with women citing conflict aversion

Evolution can explain why men don't slut-shame men for sexual success: a man having sex with other women doesn't reduce another man's reproductive prospects, so intrasexual male competition doesn't incentivize controlling male sexuality the way female intrasexual competition incentivizes female slut-shaming

Self-censorship is skewed by gender: academics who believe controversial conclusions are true and support academic freedom are self-censoring more, while those who believe conclusions are false and support censorship express their views openly, creating a distorted public perception that controversial conclusions are false and fringe when in fact many academics believe them but won't speak.

Women may more strongly oppose relaxed sexual standards because they have sons, increasing their desire to control female sexual access, suggesting that women's slut-shaming serves to restrict the mating pool available to younger women rather than reflecting universal ethical concern.

If Clark's research on preference falsification and majority academic opinion is published, it could enable rapid institutional change because academics would realize their actual views align with colleagues they thought disagreed, creating conditions for coordinated action.

The Alshibli et al. study on female mentorship found results about gender dynamics in mentorship effectiveness but faced no substantive scientific criticism, with opposition focused on concern about how the results would be perceived rather than on methodological or analytical grounds.

Scientific findings portraying women positively are treated as more credible than identical findings portraying men positively, as demonstrated by the Stewart-Williams study where people rejected evidence that men are more intelligent but accepted evidence that women are more intelligent

Evolutionary psychology and behavioral genetics are specifically targeted for censorship and career punishment because they produce conclusions about group differences that make certain groups look worse than others, whereas social psychology conclusions are protected
