The irony is in holding the hoax to higher standards than the discipline.
Not going here again. You're seeing it as a bigger claim than it is. It is what it is. The limitations have been spelled out by authors.

As I highlight in my post, that's not how it was framed by prominent figures. That's also important. Why did they contradict the authors?
-
You are missing the bigger picture! Just more confirming evidence. I'm not going here again. Already tried to explain this.
-
But it's not confirming evidence for your hypothesis (gender studies is bad). It's confirming evidence for 'bad journals publish anything'.
-
LOL. YES! That was exactly their conclusion. :)
-
No, their main conclusion was 'journals in gender studies publish anything'. But the first, reputable gender studies journal rejected it.
-
What's more, there are many examples of similarly bogus papers in the hard sciences being accepted by crappy pay-to-publish journals.
-
I'm not here to tell you gender studies is or isn't a reputable field, I'm here to tell you that the hoax doesn't support either position

There is far greater scrutiny on the hoax than on the discipline.
