Nancy Hartsock wrote one of the foundational texts of standpoint epistemology - feminist standpoint theory. Would she be classed as a "Terf", I wonder, and should there be campaigns for the exclusion of her work from the Academy? Let's see.
Regardless of the whole "terf" thing, this stuff is really dodgy actually. Way too essentialist, and bordering on misandry, I reckon. But I digress. This'll give you a sense of the "cisnormative" (I know all the lingo) character of the argument:pic.twitter.com/qmoIMOcgLF

Later on Hartsock riffs on Bataille, and the centrality of biology, and the psychodynamic interplay the occurs as a result, is absolutely explicit. She's talking about the male experience of reproduction. (This stuff is fairly batty.)pic.twitter.com/ntQLI6IIFh

Okay, I think that's enough to demonstrate that Hartsock should be considered at the very least "Terf-adjacent", and that her work should be verboten in the wokiest of philosophy departments. Trigger warnings, that's what it needs! You're welcome.
