We;d just have got desk rejected. If we'd sent a paper of the social construction of masculinity to an economics journal, they'd have returned it and pointed out they were an economics journal.

That's not even close to what I'm suggesting... I get the impression that you think I'm arguing against you somehow... but I'm arguing *for* you. I agree with everything you've said. I'm defending your work here
-
I don't necessarily think you're against us! You made it clear you weren't from the start. I think you've misunderstood the scope of our project and am trying to set out very clearly why we couldn't do what you suggest.
-
I think I was a little bit off on the scope of your project.
-
Yes. I apologise if I kind of machine-gunned you in explaining this. I've been told I do this although I am aiming to be clear and comprehensive rather than aggressive and this is clearer when you can hear me rather than reading me.

But I did feel the need to break down why it doesn't make sense to ask why we didn't send papers to other fields to demonstrate grievance studies alone has problems. It's coz we can only get these papers in journals which accept them & are not claiming GS alone has problems.
-
People keep asking this & I don't think this would happen if we were researching, say, dubious data about the harmfulness of fat. People would understand the need to focus on journals which published things about fat & not assume a claim that this is the only problem that exists.
-
I'm not sure why this is happening because we targeted this field but I suspect it is because it is politically loaded and people suspect bad motivations, feel defensive and resort to whataboutism. Other fields have problems too! I'm not suggesting you are doing this.
-
I think because we targeted journals which look at gender, race & sexuality, people wonder if we have a problem with women and racial & sexual minorities & this manifests by asking why we chose these fields & not others. No, we have a problem with the epistemology & ethics.
