The Cancer of Cancel Culture: Spreading "Correct" Scientific Ideologies Across North American Academia

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The spread of &quot;cancel culture&quot; related to sex and gender controversies in North America is examined as part of a larger movement to politicize sex research findings and certain sex and gender narratives as &quot;correct&quot; and &quot;incorrect&quot; from a so-called social justice standpoint. This binary is then used by academic administrators and empowered individuals or self-interest groups to reward or punish scholars for their viewpoints. The cases described by Meyer-Bahlburg, Lowrey, and Hooven are concrete examples of a growing &quot;sexual McCarthyism&quot; where empirical results are challenged by offended social justice &quot;warriors&quot; and embellished on social media into ad hominem attacks, to the point that it can damage-or even cancel-the careers of productive sexual scientists. This occurs largely out of fear on the part of academic administrators and lawyers charged with protecting the university from &quot;brand damage&quot; that might occur if the offending scholar is not dealt with. Sexual scientists are being vilified for research on sex differences, sex/gender assignment and subsequent causes for transitioning and/or de-transitioning, research that shows few or no untoward social or psychological effects of viewing pornography, research that debunks the notion of porn or sex &quot;addiction,&quot; research showing the efficacy of medications to treat sexual desire disorders in women, research on &quot;minor attracted persons&quot; and even animal research that dares to show homologies to human sexual behavior. The silencing of empirical evidence and alternative viewpoints is contrary to the intellectual mission of universities and destructive to academic and political freedoms.
