Women in science is an important issue, but it becomes the centre of their world for those women academic feminists who write below in the second view. But it is NOT actually the central issue in the world.
However, what IS the central issue in the world is the millenia of persecution of Jews, and the Nazi Holocaust, and the resurrection of Israel as a Homeland.
It is also a central human issue that an Irish poet and university academic (Tom Paulin)called for American Jewish settlers to be 'shot dead' and he held on to his post, got more, and held on to his key BBC job.
I wonder what these so-called feminists had to say about THAT.
No, this man should stick to his guns. The big issue in politics today is will the Jewish state survive, or be wiped out by a combination of EU and US, and a traitor element in Israel around Sharon. What have these so-called feminists to say about THAT. ???

Is it appropriate to "vigorously challenge and critize specific policy decisions by Israel" as I vigorously challenge France's Common Agricultural Policy ("CAP")?
Does mass destruction of Jews get the same efforts as keeping DDT banned so Nigerian farm yields don't interfere with US grain exports?
Both Dershowitz and Summers need to be vigorously challenged. When our attorneys and professors are mobilized I believe they will be successfully challenged.

Anti-Israel fanatics have it in for Lawrence Summers
by Alan Dershowitz
It’s no coincidence that so many of the professors leading the campaign against Harvard President Lawrence Summers for his recent comments about women in science also were in the vanguard of the campaign to divest from Israel and boycott Israeli academics.
These anti-Israel fanatics will never forgive Summers for his criticism in September 2002 of those who single out Israel for condemnation in a world so full of horrible human rights abuses.
After pointing to evidence of increasing global anti-Semitism — “synagogue burnings, physical assaults on Jews,” Holocaust denial, and a U.N.-sponsored conference at Durban that became a platform for anti-Israel and anti-Semitic agitation — Summers turned to some disturbing events on university campuses, such as efforts to boycott only Israeli researchers and to divest only from Israel.
He called these and other selective sanctions against the Jewish state “anti-Semitic in their effect if not their intent.” At the same time, he encouraged listeners to vigorously challenge and criticize specific policy decisions by Israel, as they would do with policy decisions by any other country.
