Gender Studies vs Reality: The Flat-Earth branch of Academia | Deep Dive

This week, MCC Brussels’ John O’Brien sits down with Leonardo Orlando. He is an  evolutionary psychologist, co-author of Sex, Science and Censure, and one of the harshest critics of gender ideology in Europe.

Orlando makes a simple but devastating point: you can’t understand society if you pretend biology stops at the neck. Yet universities have built entire “gender” departments on the denial of basic human nature. The result? A flat-earth worldview masquerading as scholarship, and an academic culture terrified of the truth.

In this Deep Dive, we explore:

Why evolutionary science is now taboo in universities.
Researchers are punished for stating biological facts, while ideologues with tenure churn out theories that collapse on contact with reality.

How the censorship works.
Orlando explains how hundreds of cancelled events and silenced researchers point to a global pattern, not isolated incidents, where dissenters are pushed out of academia altogether.

What the science actually shows.
Across cultures and across time, behavioural sex differences are robust, measurable, and rooted in evolution. The evidence is overwhelming, which is precisely why activists work so hard to suppress it.

Why ignoring biology leads to bad policy.
From domestic violence to fertility decline to the gender-neutral toy obsession, policymakers burn public money because they refuse to accept basic human nature.

And the heart of the argument:
Biology isn’t destiny — unless you ignore it.
For anyone tired of ideological propaganda dressed up as scholarship, this conversation is a breath of fresh air.
