It has now been a week since we revealed our grievance studies project. I'm going to have a reflective thread on it & then I'd really like to focus on other things. Like the Battle of Ideas!

That's what critics were pointing out from day one. Your sacrifice was pointless, it achieves nothing and to make matters even dumber you sacrificed on your own altar. Why didn't you choose side of legitimate scientific inquiry.
-
Christ sacrificed himself so he could save humanity from his own wrath, which was dumb because as God he could save people by other means like say education. What I'm trying to say is, I'm deeply disappointed.

IMO if you want to show that some areas of scholarship are fraudulent you have to go after them by disproving main theories, criticise main arguments etc. Even if they don't listen or engage, people don't publish hoax studies that vaccines cause autism for a reason after all
-
We've been doing that for years. I am currently writing a book on it. People deny that the problem exists. We wanted to show that it does by getting papers published which draw on main theories and arguments.

Stick to it then, don't go into pseudoscience.

I don't know what is pseudoscience about what we did? Why shouldn't we test our claim that epistemologically poor ideologically biased papers are being not only accepted but encouraged by certain journals? You've said what we should do but not why doing this too was wrong.

It pains me to hear you label this "feminist epistemology" when really it represents the thinking of a very out-of-touch segment of feminist thinking (out of touch with material reality) heavily influenced by postmodernism and queer theory.

Feminist epistemology is an influential field.
-
Sure but I'm pointing out how questionable it is to label this one approach "feminist epistemology" when there are in fact many feminist thinkers who reject the approach to the extent it lacks solid material grounding. I know it's not your fault how that label is used. :)

Your sacrifice will not be forgotten, at least until my sides stop hurting.

Aren't we all called upon to be like Christ and follow his example? I'm afraid I will still have to study things for myself. Though other studies are often helpful places to start. (Did I mention how much I love footnotes and bibliographies?)

Daily, we millions, with a semblance of balance and reason, suffer mightily from the unbalanced and unreasoned doings of our fellow humans. Your work assures us hope is on the way. It's a good and solid first step.
