Gender Equivalence Smackdown/BDS Fodder?
When the Left, on campus and off, attempt to create alternative reality they run into an immovable obstacle–actual reality.
“Men and women differ in obvious and less obvious ways – for example, in the prevalence of certain diseases or reactions to drugs,” according to the Weizman Institute of Science. “How are these connected to one’s sex?”
“Weizmann Institute of Science researchers recently uncovered thousands of human genes that are expressed – copied out to make proteins – differently in the two sexes. Their findings showed that harmful mutations in these particular genes tend to accumulate in the population in relatively high frequencies, and the study explains why. The detailed map of these genes, reported in BMC Biology, provides evidence that males and females undergo a sort of separate, but interconnected, evolution.”
Now, since the Weizman Institute is located in Israel, don’t expect this study to change the minds of those in the Boycott, Divest and Sanction movement on campus especially since it goes against gender neutral notions popular in academe but viewed with skepticism off campus.
Nonetheless, it should be noted, as indicated above, that the research of Professor Shmuel Pietrokovski and Dr. Moran Gershoni was featured in a peer-reviewed journal, albeit an online one.
