    Is this another Sokal-style hoax, lampooning a certain kind of social science? It just might be serious. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/273793754_CARBON_FIBRE_MASCULINITY …

        @DanGoodley reason why @RichardDawkins wonder if it was another sokal affair. @annahm paper doesn't make sense. Carbon isn't male

        @_Canidae @RichardDawkins @annahm tone of critique was dismissive and very malestream - perhaps like carbon itself?

        @RichardDawkins theres a semi-valid set of contentions in there hidden under the embarassingly slavish devotion to critical theory hegemony
