I\u2019ve said many times there\u2019s a systemic anti-male bias on campus, but for the most part I\u2019ve only documented it with words. It\u2019s not just words which show a distinct dislike of males, and allow me to demonstrate with one campus which is putting their money where the y chromosomes aren\u2019t (the self-identified ones, anyway):<\/p>\n

Want a raise at this university? You can\u2019t identify as a man<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m quite puzzled why this hasn\u2019t received more news coverage.<\/p>\n

It discovered that female faculty, on average, were being paid less than their male colleagues, taking into account age, experience, hiring date and \u201csome performance data.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Statistics is a particularly weak-willed subject: you don\u2019t have to torture it much to have it tell you anything you want to hear. That said, there\u2019s plenty of evidence the gender wage gap is a myth<\/a>. A simple look at, say, male boxers versus female boxers shows males make more to be sure\u2026but if you compare male models to female models, then now you can show females make more. I cite these two examples because simply by weighting between extremes (using mysterious \u201cperformance data\u201d) you can get any result you want. Most studies use sane weightings and account for career choices, hours worked, and such, of course.<\/p>\n

\u201cSane\u201d is a matter of opinion, I guess. What to do?<\/p>\n

We can just use logic. If this wage gap was real, any company which strictly hires females would save 20% on employee pay\u2014a HUGE bonus to any company\u2019s bottom line. Since there\u2019s no company that\u2019s showing great success from this strategy, we can conclude this alleged \u201cpay gap\u201d is simply statistics begging for mercy from an evil manipulator.<\/p>\n

Anyway, this Canadian university<\/a> manipulated their statistics to get the politically correct result. And what to do about this alleged problem?<\/p>\n

The Canadian Press<\/strong> reports that more than 300 faculty got a pay bump of $2,050 earlier this month \u2013 those who identify as female or \u201cnon-male,\u201d apparently meaning that only cisgender men and transgender men (biological women) are left out.<\/em><\/p>\n

Wait a second. The usual (fake) statistical quote is that women earn 80% as much as men. So\u2026they\u2019re saying a measly $2,000 will close the gap? But that would mean men on this campus only earn a lousy $10,000 or so a year! Why didn\u2019t the university ask why their manipulated statistics meant the faculty were only getting starvation wages?<\/p>\n

More importantly, why isn\u2019t there outrage over this blatantly sexist policy?<\/p>\n

Time and again I\u2019ve been passed over for being male\u2026or at least, whispers told me as much. I tell myself the rumors are just feeding my natural paranoia but how does a male on that campus not protest this openly unfair treatment? For a time I did nothing to discourage a department head\u2019s belief I was a homosexual; she was fooled
\nsufficiently that I stayed on campus a few years longer than otherwise, I\u2019m sure\u2026but I never considered that if I just self-identified as female my career and paycheck would be enhanced. I\u2019m going to claim integrity kept me from doing so, though I suspect my height and proportions would make passing as a non-male quite difficult.<\/p>\n

Oh, by the way, it\u2019s not just this one campus:<\/p>\n

The University of British Columbia gave non-men a 2 percent raise in 2013; McMaster University did it two years later ($3,515) at the urging of its professor, Charlotte Yates, who just did the same as provost as Guelph; and the University of Waterloo gave its self-professed females $2,905 in 2016.<\/em><\/p>\n

The gentle reader needs to understand the insidious \u201cbest practices\u201d policies of higher ed: once one place does it, other schools feel justified. So I suspect this practice will spread throughout North America soon enough.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s not nearly enough outrage. Note carefully how the bonuses go to \u201cnon-men\u201d\u2026this is targeting a very specific group on campus. Considering there are now, supposedly, dozens of different genders, going after a minority like this should be a problem but\u2026there\u2019s no outrage.<\/p>\n

Back to this particular Canadian university, perhaps the males could enhance their pay with promotions or awards? Not a chance at this school:<\/p>\n

\u2026is also working on non-men quotas in senior leadership roles and \u201cprestigious awards,\u201d and badgering faculty into revealing information about their race and ability status so it can impose quotas for those categories.<\/em><\/p>\n

Again, how is this remotely fair?<\/p>\n

Why is there no outrage? I totally respect that some jobs require a certain gender (eg, dress fashion models), but outside of those edge cases, I promise the gentle reader if a school started giving male-specific bonuses and job searches for positions and activities which had nothing to do with gender, I\u2019d be speaking out against it.<\/p>\n

But is there truly nobody in a position of power capable of identifying this obscene sexism?<\/p>\n
