It seems highly unlikely that anyone was genuinely offended by Dr. Lieberman's tweet, given the popular currency provided by claims of racial and gendered victimhood. But whether real or fabricated, such offence has become a powerful weapon in destroying others. What a corrosive environment the bed-wetters and complainers have created.
“Those who were hurt by his tweet own their reactions and their responses. As I have described elsewhere, they have every right to be offended, but they are not owed special rights over the lives, careers, and freedom of speech of others simply because they were offended.”
I was going to write a somewhat lengthy response here but instead just wanted to say that that part of the post quoted above crystallizes it for me. Well stated, Dr. Krauss
I've got 25 years of working in a Scientific and wonderful environment. Never once did gender come up as a problem. Long hours, poor pay, stress but never gender. Guess we were lucky in pure medical research/cancer/neurology land! Many fine scientists of both genders
