A family member wrote a gender feminism dissertation, which their tutors said that they should get published. I read the thing, conjecture, assumption, unfalsifiable claims and conclusions resting on very little testability. Resources used as evidence were men's magazines, with plenty of references to ridiculous articles which would be the modern equivalent of clickbait. If academia would ever permit, it would be easy to paint women as absolute amoral psychopaths using modern social media and the origins of feminism.

This thought should be repeated and reinforced often. Someone shall produce evidence and proof after we encourage the thought often.

how to write a gender theory paper ? think of a topic that will either vilify men or praise women. write up the aim. write some methodology. then continue straight to writing up results and conclusion that match the aim. get published. job done. social sciences in the 21st century

I had an affair with a Marxist Mass Communications professor when I was coming out in the mid-1980's. He told me that "homosexuals" in the modern sense didn't exist until the word was coined. I was deeply offended by the notion, and I wondered how the word came to be invented, if the thing it described didn't exist. - But I held my tongue. It would take me 20 years before I had the gumption to reject the notion, and the sophistry that supports it.

People who believe insane things that can only make sense if reality isnt real and everything is socially constructed cant STAND that homosexual is a descriptor and not an identity or choice, we exist and have same sex relationships whether or not we name it, its one of the reasons why homophobia is rife in woke spaces, though they pretend to be the biggest allies its all a farce.

OK, ‘trichotomy of roles’ got a laugh out of me.

I remember Janice remarking on the substack blog that she was very disappointed with her own presentation in these videos, but overall it seems excellent to me, very clearly written, well spoken, and well presented.

This is the best proof for penis envy I have ever seen. Even Freud - the concept's originator - couldn't have done so well.

Right on. Thanks for sharing.

It would be interesting to feed this feminista stuff into an AI and see what it made of it.

Sounds like a great plot for a dystopian future movie. A feminist super computer then 'gets out of the lab' and takes over the world enacting all the ideals of feminism.

Well, if you happen to mean AI search bots that read your plain-language queries, put to work their knowledge of what's on the web, and use LLM skills to write you responses, that's easy, since it's already happening at scale: it would simply 'believe' it, in the sense that it had learned it and will perforce regurgitate it. Very recently I asked Perplexity to tell me what Juvenal wrote about eunuchs in Rome. It gave me a decently helpful run-down that was fine for a start. But then it changed tone and warned me that what he wrote could not be taken seriously, because it was from a male Roman perspective. This meant, it told me, that it was written out of fear of women's sexuality and general male biases and insecurities, preventing his satirical commentary from approaching validity. The good thing about Perplexity is that it puts the sources it consulted in a list and gives them to you. It turned out that the one which it leaned on heavily for that part of the answer was an 11-page essay written in 2021 or thereabouts, by one Nina Ziegler, for her master's in classical studies studies at Villanova. (In the second paragraph of Page 1, incidentally, I learned that "Roman family values were rigidly centered around paternity and were intolerant of women’s extra-marital affairs." Intolerance! Hegemony!) Ok, Villanova. Is that so bad? Faintly promisingly, it was ranked 67th by US News. But T.H.E. ranked Villanova 128th out of 796 universities in the US in 2022 (when she finished). The Center For World University Rankings gave it 208th spot out of 310 in the US, as well as 959th-best in the world. It's not rated by QS. Ms. Ziegler, I soon also learned, just earlier in 2018 had worked as a bank teller in the "Greater New York City Area" at the First National Bank of Long Island. After some months, she said, she was made Head Teller. Ok, you get the point. It's not getting behind any paywalls to mine the ideas of great scholars, the giants of the present lifetime or earlier ones. Forget Alan Bloom. Forget Harold Bloom, Hannah Arendt, even forget Camille Paglia. It's gonna give you academic catfish. But if you think we're finished now, wait till the libraries close. Then you'll learn what finished really means.

@@dixonpinfold2582 Thank you for the thoughtful reply and interesting real-life results. It looks like what I was thinking about, i.e. using an AI to sift through feminista writings to summarize their sophistry has already been baked-in to the AIs results. More and more I am beginning to think the Roman patriarchy was what made Rome strong. Is it possible to have the AI ignore certain writings? After reading one of their books and some of their "studies" I find their over-use of thesauruses and their focus on everything to do with childbearing, very tiresome. I am something of a book-lover myself, and with the way this time-line is going, we'll be lucky if they don't burn the old books in the libraries. They'll do it in the name of anti-fascism, without noticing the irony. Fahrenheit 451 meets 1984.

Yes, they blame the tool, so individual accountability can be changed into group shaming and punishment. The assaults upon the Second Amendment in the U.S.A. is done in a similar way.
