      The husband has just come upstairs to inquire why he can hear me cackling evilly from downstairs. I have reassured him that I'm just reading gender theory again and there is nothing to be alarmed about.

      The gender scholars I've just been reading have put considerable effort into discovering that ppl care much more about what genitals other people have when it comes to having sex with them than with non-sexual interactions. What a breakthrough.

      The reason for this is socialisation and cultural ideologies which disadvantage women. Obviously. What else could it be?

      Sometimes it feels like gender scholars are aliens who have never come across a sexually reproducing species before and are having an initial brainstorming session about what this could all mean.

          I'm glad you can laugh at it. I find it depressing because of the power these people wield in academia and the media. In the media, their power MIGHT wane, but in academia, I think they're very well dug in.

          Honestly, it is the academia version of the telephone game. Someone comes out with a concept and it gets put through a grinder til the end person has some insane theory.

          Or maybe they're just women who are trying to answer the question of "Why Can't Men Just Cuddle" and are unwilling to look beyond themselves. People with poor theory of mind tend to be attracted to mindless theory.

          How is it possible to obtain a degree in "gender studies" without taking even a rudimentary biology 101 class? These people are a joke.

          I'd be curious to know what percentage of gender studies professors are also childless and/or mateless.

          Only works if you assume aliens are hostile and wish to force population to conform to their poor understanding of human nature.
