The Cancer of Cancel Culture: Spreading “Correct” Scientifc Ideologies Across North American Academia
Original language description
The spread of “cancel culture” related to sex and gender controversies in North America is examined as part of a larger movement to politicize sex research fndings and certain sex and gender narratives as “correct” and “incorrect” from a so-calledsocial justice standpoint. This binary is then used by academic administrators and empowered individuals or self-interest groupsto reward or punish scholars for their viewpoints. The cases described by Meyer-Bahlburg, Lowrey, and Hooven are concreteexamples of a growing “sexual McCarthyism” where empirical results are challenged by ofended social justice “warriors”and embellished on social media into ad hominem attacks, to the point that it can damage—or even cancel—the careers ofproductive sexual scientists. This occurs largely out of fear on the part of academic administrators and lawyers charged withprotecting the university from “brand damage” that might occur if the ofending scholar is not dealt with. Sexual scientistsare being vilifed for research on sex diferences, sex/gender assignment and subsequent causes for transitioning and/or detransitioning, research that shows few or no untoward social or psychological efects of viewing pornography, research thatdebunks the notion of porn or sex “addiction,” research showing the efcacy of medications to treat sexual desire disordersin women, research on “minor attracted persons” and even animal research that dares to show homologies to human sexualbehavior. The silencing of empirical evidence and alternative viewpoints is contrary to the intellectual mission of universitiesand destructive to academic and political freedoms.
