Top Cern scientist Prof Alessandro Strumia has been suspended for tell the truth.
He said physics "was invented and built by men"
Which is essentially true.
From Euclid to Galileo to Newton to Einstein, all the physics we have was invented and built by men.
He then produced evidence that showed the only sexism in science is against men, where women are much more likely to get places and jobs even when men are more qualified.
Amazing that a scientist tell the truth and provides evidence but is then disciplined for it.

Amazing that a scientist tell the truth and provides evidence but is then disciplined for it.
He told his audience of young, predominantly female physicists that his results "proved" that "physics is not sexist against women. However the truth does not matter, because it is part of a political battle coming from outside".
He produced a series of graphs which, he claimed, showed that women were hired over men whose research was cited more by other scientists in their publications, which is an indication of higher quality.
He also presented data that he claimed showed that male and female researchers were equally cited at the start of their careers but men scored progressively better as their careers progressed.
