Seems massively overrated as something to spend much energy on in 2018 -- and the radically rebending a previously bent stick the other direct still leaves us with a very thirsted stick. Feminists epistemologists usual specialize in their own brand of twisted, and false, science

It took me about half an hour to read a paper that, as I understand, has been influential (and also widely misunderstood), and which, as I discovered, articulates some important points well. That seems like a reasonably good use of time to me, whatever year it may be.

I've taught feminist philosophy of science. I see the value in teaching it. I'd also suggest that identifying the existence of small curiosities & distortions in the mirror does not justifying adding massive new distortions to the mirror eg seeing all of Newton as male domination

I said that I read one paper, that I found helpful and well argued, that took me 30 minutes. Your remarks have been about investing “much energy” and whether a good idea can “justify” an apparently bad idea. I don’t see the connection between what I said and what you said
