I think everyone is getting pretty fed up of universities cancelling people who express 'controversial' - quite often scientifically valid - views on sex differences, and for questioning dominant narratives about gender equality. This has happened too often and for too long, and frankly seems anachronistic. Dr Joe concludes in this interview that university elites "bleat about being oppressed, but really they are in positions of power, yet totally detached from the people they purport to represent".

I guess the academic elites will keep cancelling people for as long as they can get away with it, but an interesting question is why the mainstream media aren't interested in this? You can be sure that the general public are very interested in clearly unfair cancellations, so why are organisations like the ABC, SBS, and Sky Australia not sharing with their audiences stories they surely want to know about?

Cancelling a much respected university teacher will quite possibly affect enrolments both now and in the future. What I find annoying is that the university administration is composed mainly of feminists who continually play the role of being the victim. Yet the university itself is named after Dame Edith Cowan, a social reformer who worked for the betterment of women in the workforce. She was elected to parliament in 1921 as the first woman to do so. This fact alone suggests to me why the current ECU feminists think it is their duty to put Dr Nuzzo's head on the

chopping block for no good reason while being blind to the down grading of the level of teaching which is a consequence of their action.
