On September 13th, here on The Nuzzo Letter, I discussed an advertisement for research grants aimed at funding projects in Australia that “address equity issues across the entire higher education student lifecycle.” I explained that the grants were intended to help improve higher education outcomes for six groups.
Amen! Well said. Just imagine the furor that would result from doing the opposite: Giving researchers a million dollars to help men survive a certain activity where women outnumber male deaths by a similar factor. All hell would break loose. The screams would be monumental "Why HELP MEN when it is WOMEN who are DYING!!!!!" "You misogynist!!!"
But no such hell is seen from this misandrist action.

Thank you Dr Nuzzo for bringing this to light!
