      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!

      This was @ConceptualJames project and he put inordinate amounts of work into it. He is our supercomputer. He sees the patterns and systems and holds it all in his head and makes it work. Peter was in on it from the start and he is responsible for much of the creative madness.

      I joined the project three months in and my job was at first just reading the papers looking for theoretical red flags - things that don't tally with current theory. Then I started suggesting appropriate theories. Then I wrote theoretical groundings. Then I took the lead on 2.

      In addition to his job of doing some of everything & directing the project strategically, James had to spend a lot of energy on reining in Peter's wicked imagination & humour and my obsessive attention to theoretical detail & making them cohere.

      If it had been left to Peter, we'd have had 20 delightfully funny & insane satires. If it had been left to me, we'd have had 20 deeply theoretical & turgid legitimate papers. James had to incorporate both into a goal-orientated strategy. He only threatened to murder us both twice

      I went deep into feminist epistemology and James into masculinity studies and Peter into fat studies. We suffered so you don't have to. Christlike is our sacrifice.

          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.

          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. :)

          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.
