EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Chris Williamson and Cory Clark, 5 Topics In Psychology That We’re Not Allowed To Talk About - Dr Cory Clark explores are Men The New Underdogs? Psychology, Gender, And Censorship Examined Chris Williamson and Dr. Cory Clark discuss evidence that, in many modern Western contexts, people show a pro-female bias while public narratives still focus almost exclusively on misogyny and anti-female discrimination. Clark outlines research suggesting that hiring and evaluative biases have flipped in favor of women since around 2009, and that both the public and academics systematically misperceive this shift. They explore how rising female dominance in academia appears to correlate with greater emphasis on harm-avoidance, inclusion, and censorship over truth-seeking and academic freedom. The conversation broadens into evolutionary psychology, political bias, and how moral grandstanding and fear of offense may be degrading scientific integrity and public trust in science.
