Thanks for this, very interesting. As you say, it is getting to the point that some men are willing to move to these countries.
I know a brilliant astrophysicist who left his native Australia because he realized that unless he professed DEI zealously (and even then, as a white man, it might not be enough), he would never have anything more than part-time work at any Australian university. He went to China and, as far as I can tell (he is terse in his emails), finds it far better for him than Australia. It is not a free society by any means, but he is relatively free to do his work without worrying about failing to genuflect to a DEI shibboleth, or being accused of harassment. I assume that criticism of the Chinese Communist regime is entirely off-limits, but other than that, ideology is not really an issue. He has been there now for over 5 years. He still occasionally sends me women-only job advertisements in Physics and Astronomy in Australia and the United States.
