Wed 21st March 2018:

I have been impressed With this BBC interview With Jordan Peterson debate on the gender pay gap, campus protests and postmodernism with female interviewer, Cathy Newman, who appears to have a problem with hearing logical answers.

Gendered Politicians

Thu 15th February 2018:

In a simple analysis; if a politician acts in a gendered way and seeks votes based on gender then you would expect them to represent their constituency in the same way? As the Green’s female leader position is currently being contested it may be interesting to observe this contest as a starting point, although a […]

Air New Zealand gender equity experiment

Sat 10th February 2018:

Psychologists Board

Tue 30th January 2018:

I recently went through the process of making an official complaint to the Psychologists Board regarding the conduct of one of their psychologists.
