      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.

      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!

          These sort of questions is a blatant exercise of the ad hominem fallacy.

          An intelligent man in this thread somewhere said the criticism y'all have received has been a "red herring festival".

          The criticisms leveled in this thread against Sokal Squared are a red herring festival. The salient consideration, if one trusts the self-reporting of the authors, is the unmitigated scandal of *any hoax-style paper at all* getting accepted in a sufficiently respectable journal.

          If the source of funds is an issue, then academics are welcome to not use what is compulsively collected from the taxes of everyone. Including ppl with ideas they don’t lo like, Wall Street hawks, shady businesses. Let’s have academic take tax money only from vetted ppl.
