Current Events > Feminists whine about promoting scientific research done by white men

(+) Yeah! (+)

Geographers Carrie Mott and Daniel Cockayne argued in a recent paper that doing so also perpetuates what they call “white heteromasculinism,” which they defined as a “system of oppression” that benefits only those who are “white, male, able-bodied, economically privileged, heterosexual, and cisgendered.” (Cisgendered describes people whose gender identity matches their birth sex.)


SJWism isn't real. Feminism is mostly made of reasonable people.

Imagine thinking this.

Imagine getting mad about scientific discoveries just because the ones who made them are white, and then imagine that these are the people who claim to be anti-racists.

The comments from either extreme are already pathetically toxic.

They waste their time with Team A vs Team B, completely ignoring Teams C and D like they did during the 2016 US election...
Amazingly they appear worse than CE's usual political peanut gallery.

So, inanimate things behave differently depending on who's performing the experiment?

Extremists being terrible, news at 11pm.

SJW's don't even know what they're angry about anymore. They'll just continue to spew buzzword vomit drivel out of their mouths until their universe folds in on itself and they end up in some other dimension.

I think the point is that contributions of female scientists are often overlooked in favor of their white, male counterpart's research.

Imagine being so insecure that the mere mention of feminism or the words, 'white, male' cause you to shrivel up into a catatonic husk.

Now Mal, if only you could make more posts like this instead of submitting to Trump every chance you get.

It's weird because this article sorta makes sense at first with this-

Work done by women and other minorities have often been overlooked by their peers, hindering their professional advancement and depriving disciplines of diverse perspectives, she argued.

But then it goes on to promote one of the dumbest suggestions I've heard-

Scholars should read through their work and count all the citations before submitting their work for publication, and see how many people of diverse backgrounds — women, people of color, early-career scholars, graduate students and non-academics — are cited.

I'm in favor of people doing their own research if they find reason to question whatever it is they felt misled about, in general.

I just hope they approach whatever they learn with an open mind and not simply looking for confirmation bias.
