What I think it doesn't matter.

He was arguing using the science of the time.

Darwin believed that "males are more evolutionarily advanced than females" and manyany anthropologists contemporary to Darwin concluded that "women's brains were analogous to those of animals," which had "overdeveloped" sense organs "to the detriment of the brain"

Should we judge them for being wrong at the time, without knowing it?

Remove them all then.

Where's the outrage when we need it?

This is exactly the problem here. You, and many like you, are basically demonizing all men in MIT. For you, all men are guilty of being men and thus they should be removed.

Its incredible that society tolerates such discrimination. This is beyond fascism.

I was just being sarcastic and you are just overreacting.

If asking a girl out is sexual assault, then all men are sexual predators.

It's true even for girls, they ask men out, it's 2019 and I'm 43, I've seen much worse in my life than "asking a girl out".

BTW, they can still say no, it's ok to say no.
