Is @HPluckrose a scholar in gender studies?
Hoax was aimed at scholarly publications. The denouement that it was satire was in Skeptic Magazine

By all means, think a different approach wld have been better & perhaps do it yourself.
-
The hoax was what it was & we can all talk about what it shows. Interesting how differently ppl read it.
-
This isn't a Rorschach test. There are standards of good scholarship, and this paper failed to meet them (a serious irony/hypocrisy.)
-
If you mean the hoax, I agree.That was the point. If u mean the piece in skeptic abt it, its appropriate
-
Ppl look at public institutions in all sorts of ways, using all sorts of approaches & mediums.
-
You don't have to like satire or popular pieces but why get so angry if others do?
-
I get angry at bad reasoning, bad arguments, bad evidence. The 'hoax' is all three.
-
You're refuting claims that haven't been made. This is known as a strawman.

But it wasn't published in a scholarly publication. It was published in a vanity pay-for-play journal. That itself undercuts the whole thing
-
We can argue abt pay-to-publish. That was one of the targets. A lot of other journals similar rejection rate
-
I was discussing submitting a physics paper today to a very prestigious science journal and it was pay to publish.
-
Yes, that alone doesn't discredit it, does it? Simply a different way of funding.
-
Though other hoaxes have been published in physics journals. Should we say all of physics is bullshit? http://news.mit.edu/2015/how-three-mit-students-fooled-scientific-journals-0414 …

Remember, you don't need to refute claim that hoax alone discredits GS coz no-one is making it.
-
I've said this three times now & linked a longer thread about it. Why refute claims not made?
-
We can all agree that anyone arguing GS worthless coz of one hoax would be unreasonable.
