Now you've left science and entered a murkier realm.

A criticism that “it didn’t take women’s experience into account” would have still been good, but too often criticism jumped straight to “it was done by white male (so must automatically be discarded/discounted/dismissed)”. Excuse me? How about no?
-
Depending on what it is, yes. So many of the objects of science exist independently of anyone's experiences and there is a tendency to see science as white men expressing their experiences which needs to be countered by non-science in the form of experiences. Which is crazy.
-
Yep, my mind jumped to medical science where women’s experience hasn’t been as extensively studied as it should be; but things like cosmic rays or whatever don’t even have any aspect of anyone’s “experience”, it’d make even less sense to bring that up.
-
Yeah, people also draw a categorical line between natural phenomena and subjective experience and that's simply wrong imo. Brains are natural phenomena and so are their experiential components. The fact we can't access them directly yet doesn't change that.
