Is there good reason to think that Tim Hunt's woes have anything to do with inaccurate reporting of what he said?
http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/586554/Sir-Tim-Hunt-European-Union-report-backs-praised-women :
Sir Tim's comments immediately after , previously unreported, read: "Now seriously, I'm impressed by the economic development of Korea. And woman scientists played, without doubt an important role in it."
If his speech is really about making a joke of labeling himself as sexist and then saying that, I don't see there any reason to speak up against Tim Hunt.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
