#1 A culture, a society is viciously and mindlessly attacking what is the material basis of its prosperity, security and strength.

The medical analogy would be an autoimmune disease like MS.

This is not a good sign, especially in these times.

Now a scientist with poor "dressing for successing" skills is wondering if he is now considered to be "sexist" by his professional community and can, of course, kiss future government grants goodbye.
