      ... as 4 Hypatia, however, I take it 1 of co-authors is professional philosopher, so that wouldn't be an amateur. For other journals, if they had novel quantitative methods you had to first learn (to the level of a typical NHST user), might've taken u a bit longer, but not much

      But doesn’t the fact that Nature was willing to publish criticism of methods and that the authors were (probably) not accused of being “tools of the right” (and worse) for doing so just demonstrate James’ assertion that the sciences are more self-regulating and falsifiable?

      "Demonstrate" is a strong word. So no, James's assertion doesn't demonstrate that. Are you suggesting that high-quality journals in feminist philosophy or related areas do not (ever? sometimes? usually?) publish well-thought-out criticisms of their prevailing methods?

      I’m saying that if anyone questions feminist journals politically correct ideas, those people will be shunned and labeled as enemies, and that’s exactly what has happened. Helen even posted a quote yesterday saying anyone who questions those ideas is automatically wrong. See it?

      I’m not sure dunking on the rest of the academy to save grievance studies is, ahem, helping. People on my side of the political aisle would cheerfully hack everything in universities except law & STEM into bleeding chunks & chuck it in the Thames. Don’t give them ammunition.

      It's shockingly irresponsible that so many high-minded academics think that's the appropriate move in this moment. Earp insists we haven't shown a "special" problem in grievance studies, which might be true on "shown" but is a patent and irresponsible falsehood.

      There is no way on God’s Green Earth people in unrelated disciplines could get up to speed in under a year in the two fields in which I have postgraduate qualifications (law & classics). That you three could do so suggests ‘grievance studies’ is intellectually underpowered.

      Well, let's see. Helen has written here & there about how gender and critical studies *is* her area. Paul is, as I understand, a professional philosopher. Combined, that gives neighboring competence in the basics of a lot of the target fields. What counts as 'unrelated'? ...

      I published a paper recently in a law journal, co-authored with a historian, though neither of us is formally trained in law (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2986449 …). I'm not sure how to read your God's Green Earth claim, accounting for interdisciplinarity and basic scholarly competence

          If you had to deal with the legal history around the link between bans on circumcision & anti-semitism, you’d struggle, even though circumcision is your hobby-horse. Noting, of course, that the hoaxers had no particular hobby-horse & scattered their papers across several fields.

          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

          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)
