It sounds like you're a bit too invested in the issue if you're literally shaking.

#4What should be taken away from this study? They found in two tiers no notable difference, and a slight advantage to women in the other, with the effect growing over time.
Then they state that this is all correlation, and we don't know about a dozen or two different variables such as whether the grant process self selects for more men to apply (and thus fail). No conclusion that men are disadvantaged may be drawn, they say.
Is this study worth building on? Why are people finding it interesting enough to vote it up to the front page?
What am I missing?

#6Overcorrecting after eons of patriarchal dominance is expected and not necessarily a bad thing IMHO. In some countries (e.g. Sweden), prioritising a certain gender over another for research funding is explicit (and widely accepted) public policy.

I think it's pretty obviously a bad thing to discriminate in this way. Maybe it's understandable to experience some overcorrection, but that doesn't mean it's good.

Overcorrecting is a bad thing. It means that you're explicitly and knowingly discriminating by gender, with a flimsy justification about the guilt of our ancestors.

I think we may be running into Poe's Law[1]
