... anyway, I already said in my original tweet that there *may* be an asymmetry in terms of average epistemological rigor required to publish in a top journal in gender studies vs. medicine, but your hoax doesn't show that. Just for a few examples, here is a paper in a ...

That's true, I would certainly have struggled if that were the focus of my paper. This gives me a better idea of what you were referring to in terms of the degree or kind of unrelatedness of discipline.

The legal history is the reason why you are not winning this argument & will likely never win it. I’ve read a lot of your papers & I like Robert’s work, but the use of bans on circumcision to attack Jews looms large; it goes back to the Bar Kochba revolt in 135 AD.
-
I don't call for a ban, and have explicitly argued against doing so in various venues. Most of my work presents moral arguments that I hope people will find persuasive. I'm not sure what measure you are using for 'winning this argument' though I must say
-
It’s just as well you don’t call for a ban, shall we say.

I'm really not sure what this comment as saying ... it feels vaguely threatening, but perhaps I am misreading it
-
Your argument would be much weaker if you did call for a ban, but as it is the moral arguments are probably only persuasive to people who are half-way to being on your side already (like me).

That is precisely the audience I am writing for; I have no illusions that I'll somehow convert every last person to my point of view; I am also always willing to reconsider & adjust my point of view in response to those who disagree with me (as I have done iteratively over time)

Any links to that topic? I would be interested...

‘Rome & Jerusalem: the Ancient Clash of Civilisations’ (Martin Goodman) is a good place to start. Then some more specific histories of Bar Kochba - ask your Jewish friends.
-
Well, I've read Marked in Your Flesh by Leonard Glick, work by Jenny Goodman (e.g., http://www.cirp.org/library/cultural/goodman1999/ …) and others; they & - indeed - some of my closest friends, if I must use that awful phrase, are Jewish scholars opposed to circumcision. Not sure I follow ...
-
I am not an expert in Jewish history, nor have never claimed to be; and of course, neither are the majority of my Jewish friends. But some of my close colleagues are and I try to learn from them as much as I can and as far as is relevant to my work in ethics
