Vox Day and women in science

Theodore Beale, a.k.a. "Vox Day", quote-miner and "Christian libertarian opinion columnist," apparently has issues with women in science. This via Ed Brayton:

Because they are the intellectual driving force of humanity, men will be fine. They will simply continue to do what they have always done and pursue the same challenges they have always pursued, focused on the realities of success rather than its superficial attributes. It is the institutions they are exiting, voluntarily and involuntarily, that will be destroyed instead. It is written that "women ruin everything"; having destroyed the liberal arts, the classics and the pseudo-sciences, it is now abundantly clear that the more rigorous sciences are next on the equalitarians’ destructive agenda. And so, in the not-too-distant future, two plus two will finally be determined to equal five if a women feels that it should, or at least it will as long as she happens to feel that way.

And lesbian professors get a mention as well. No comment necessary.

I'm not sure it's accurate to say that he "has issues with women in science". His issues are with both women in any capacity, and with reality in any form. In fact, he doesn't just have issues, he has a complete set of bound volumes.

Women destroyed the pseudo-sciences?

This fellow has certainly jumped the shark, or in modern terms, a nod to certain new "museums", he has "ridden the triceratops".
