Methodologically the real issue isn't the metaphysics of truth and reference, it's standards of permissible inference.

In your article, 'grievance studies' is a loaded umbrella term that targets everything within a collection of fields, but post-publication, the definition has been retro-actively changed to mean a methodology or an approach prominent in those fields.

No, it hasn't. You even screenshotted the section in which we said specifically what approach to identity studies we were criticising and are ignoring the discussion which says this is not the case and asks people not to say that it is.

Like with everything else associated with your project, I find the public pronouncement to be far more telling indications of intent than the content of the original post, when it comes to figuring out exactly who and what the targets really are.pic.twitter.com/DmgdjloPUT

I have been fully open about my intent. I have criticised these fields for years before doing the project. I am writing a book about the problem. That's why I did the project. Why do you find it suspicious that people who see a problem somewhere then investigate it?

I don't want gender studies defunded. I want it made rigorous. I'd actually like to teach it. I understand why people think it is providing nothing worthwhile right now tho.

Do you react in this way when feminists who have argued a problem to exist somewhere in regards to women's rights then investigate it and test this claim? Would you say 'Your previous statements show your intent to argue that sexism exists. Therefore looking for evidence is bad."

It depends how they did it. If they mask the full number of trials, ignore all negative results, perform no statistical analysis, fail to disclose funders, avoid peer review and then describe the work as an 'experiment', then yes.

You are being dishonest. We have revealed all the information in our fact sheet and provided all essays and reviews. We didn't need to mention the ones which failed but we did. What statistical analysis do you want & how would it work? How did we avoid peer review?
