      Precisely. Unfortunately corporate hiring practices, influenced by the un-care-about-able feminist theorist's scholarship, has lead to the adoption of equality of outcomes being the only ideal.

      Not by the scholarship. Do you really think they've read that? Almost no-one reads that. That comes from the ideology. I am writing right now about how it leaked out of universities and into the mainstream leftist social conscience & expectations for a progressive society.

      I'm not academic enough to be able to distinguish between scholarship and ideologies, both of which seem to have originated on campus. Maybe I just don't get the difference.

      Yes, you are seeing campus lunacy which is produced by a distillation of intersectional feminist & critical race theory (among others) and pushed in a simplified activist form on campuses trading on the good name of the civil rights movement, 2nd wave liberal feminism & Gay Pride

      I appreciate that. However, I'm still stuck on how theory becomes adopted without the scholarship of said theorists being 'cared about'

      Because the ideology is cared about. Academics and activists can get condensed forms of their 'theories' accepted and complied with due to social pressure even tho almost no-one is reading their stuff and the 'scholarship' is largely an illusion.

      This is the problem that James is trying to highlight. The belief that these ideas are based on a body of scholarship is false. The vast majority of it is completely ignored and yet key ideas of the *ideology* still possess great cultural power and this presented as scholarly.

      A useful analogy is with religion. Take Islam for an example, We know that much, much complicated Islamic theology is written but we also know that most fundamentalist Muslims haven't read any of it. Or even the Quran. They rely instead on a few key ideas built into an ideology.

      A well stated analogy. Few "feminists" really understand the implications of the ideology, namely, that men and women are exactly the same and should have equal outcomes.

      Yes. The fear is that if men and women are different, it makes women inferior. This is why they hear 'Women are less interested in engineering on average' as 'Women can't do engineering because they should stay home and have babies.'

          This tweet circles back to my earlier statement, that somehow feminists idealized male potential and made that their goals. That's a deep irony.

          Yes, I agree that this is a part of it but they are also threatening that which is seen as masculine - science, reason, engineering, business etc. This is also highly insulting to women.

          The @JamesADamore fiasco (#googlememo) is a perfect example of all these issues at work in today's culture.
