'Modern feminism isn’t compatible with science, a biologist wrote on a science blog Wednesday.

Dr. Alex Berezow, a biomedical scientist with a doctorate in microbiology writing on the blog of the American Council on Science and Health, found that much of mainstream feminist theory directly conflicts with modern biology, as it is inherently built on ideas which cannot be proven or refuted.

“Ideology is a double-edged sword. Dedication to a set of beliefs can be admirable, but when it leads to inflexibility and obstinance in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, it is a dangerous thing,” Berezow said. “[F]eminism has been built upon ideas that can neither be proven nor refuted, precisely the sort of evidence-free groupthink that typifies unscientific thinking.”

Berezow noted that many feminists “deny the prominent role of biology in our lives” allowing instead for the promotion of ideas that are “dangerous nonsense” on college campuses, which should be unbiased sources of truth.'

I completely agree about feminism ignoring biology. I don't think too much about the environment aspect like this article focuses on, but I always say that when you have different consequences and different motivations you get different behavior. This is why men and women act differently and make different choices.

We should celebrate and respect the differences; not shame and blame.
