      I reckon that bit'd read differently if you were studying a methodology or an attitude that seeps, at differing degrees, into a range of fields. Above, a 'common goal' is the linking string, not 'high penetration of a seperate methodology we've identified elsewhere'

      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?

      We cannot reveal our funders or our supporters although many have agreed to have their messages of support screencapped with identifying details removed. They fear being fired and dogpiled as racists, sexists & homophobes for wanting this addressed.

          This is a shame because we tried to address valid criticisms of the last attempt & be very clear about this not being a controlled study, not overstate significance of results & urge people not to do so either. I don't think there is any way to address this that would satisfy you

          We are all of us honest and sincere people trying to address a very specific problem transparently and with humility. I will now give up on any hope of being read charitably by you.

          Frankly, I think your donors are right to be concerned about that -- as you yourselves have no doubt experienced personally. But it also seems perfectly fair to be concerned about "dark money" and how may influence research. I can truly see both sides on this question.

          This is astonishing. Who funds the heterodox academy? Why should it matter?

          I do understand being concerned about funding to some extent but ultimately backers have the right to privacy, there is a need for some trust & there is no way this could have influenced journals' acceptance, the existing scholarship we cited or the reviewer comments.

          I will still take the work of identitarian lefties on its own merits even if I know they have a patreon and I don't know who is funding them. I will suspect it is lefties who like their work and want them to be able to do more of it but that is allowed!
