Identity politics must be rejected. It's divide and conquer 101.
HN thinks science progresses best when led by rich white bros? No surprise from the beneficiaries of meritocracy myths.
The author isn't even a scientist.
Note that this is an opinion piece. The WSJ does not make its flamebait editorial section look especially different from its excellent reporting section.

The USSR had and Russia has great women scientists despite the unwokeness (and to use a worn overwrought cliche patriarchal society) so I think it’s not needed. But you do need programs to seed scientists starting from elementary school. Propaganda helps (do it for mother ... the country needs you now)
