The alpha males of physics

Two sets of events for Women in STEM: the theoretical physicist Alessandro Strumia, soon likely ex-CERN affiliated, decried feminist conspiracies and the discrimination against males like himself, in a workshop talk on gender.

Those, done in collaboration with certain Photoshop artists like Claudio Napoli, contain clearly fabricated data.
