I was ashamed of the lack of ability to understand by my fellow feminists that the comment was made as a lighthearted opening to a serious discussion. Sir Tim's record proves that he is not the male chauvinist portrayed by the twitter lynch mob.

It's a disgrace that Tim Hunt was forced to resign over such a trivial matter. He must get his job back immediately.

Utterly stupid that a bunch of feminists can hold such repsected organisations to hollow ransoms just for the sake of "Public Relations" is no more than a empty excuse for Cowardice.

Chided, not forced to resign, would have been appropriate. Twitter is just a torrent of intemperate toss.

Awareness cannot be sexism, it is the most necessary type of perception for good solutions, in research as well as life.

It was a mistake, But we should not forget that he got his NP after many mistakes. Good lesson is learnt. Now he needs to comeback. Every university is a big teacher , and she should not let her students free without qualification. So this includes UCL as well.

He did not deserve to lose his job over a comment

Whoever believes that Tim Hunt is sexist is just plain dumb.

Firing Dr. Hunt is probably the dumbest thing ever done by the dolts in academia. And that's a tall order. Dr. Hunt should be reinstated and the idiots who fired him should drummed out of academia and forced to work at minimum wage at a McDonalds.

This action was totally out of proportion and the ideological hotheads should not be allowed to fetter free speech.

This is ridiculous. To relieve a man like this over a joke is PC run amok.

Sir Tim's treatment by click-bait journalism and UCL has been despicable.

I am totally incredulous, but only for a moment , the PC, gender equality, etc movements have erupted this year. There are no objective truths to the Twitteralia, they have learned how to manipulate and inflate campaigns to hurt people they fear the most , those that can do! Objectivity and common sense are fleeing the planet
