The problem is this requires universities and other venues to have spines and actually pay attention to what is happening, and, well, good luck with that.

It's not that they aren't paying attention to what's happening, it's that universities (like everything else in American society) are increasingly run by business dipshits rather than academics.

They see higher education as a business first and don't want to alienate potential customers - students and parents - by taking hardline stances on anything. It's a calculated lack of spine.

It's testament to how dumb Ben Shapiro is that he still stuck with conservative punditry once he hit puberty at age 30.

But haven't parts of historical materialism basically been adopted by historiography anyway? I mean, that's what 'trends and forces' is.

I am a trained anthropologist (from ASU, LOL). I have background in theories of cultural transmission. That abstract makes absolutely no loving sense to me whatsoever and I am mad at ASU for letting them publish whatever the gently caress that paper entails.

Also, I am p.sure mathematics and physics wouldn't really benefit from critical feminist theory, and the authors show they don't know poo poo about poo poo by suggesting history is a frontier for it (seriously, history, anthropology, archaeology, sociology and even to an extent psychology all have fairly notable critical feminist work).

It wasn't published by ASU, it was published by "Géneros: Multidisciplinary Journal of Gender Studies", which I've never heard of but judging by the name probably isn't particularly rigorous. It's not like the university can stop its faculty from publishing some bullshit in an online journal.

I've also never even heard of the professor, though granted I never really hung around with the gender studies people too much.

That markov chain rattling purports to be the work of dangerously woke feminists hoping to go viral

E: Again the difference is left wing idiots is that they publish nonsense in fake academic journals for attention, while the right wing screeches on youtube that maybe rounding people up and putting them in camps is a good idea

Every single palestinian on the face of the earth plus tons of countries around it paid the price for what those racist colonizers did, they conscripted for it, and they voted for it, and choose not to change anything about it. I will 'screech' hatred till my face turns blue or until human rights is given to the Palestinians. you can suck my dick if you dont like it.

All I pointed out was that their 'Chillness' tends to stop at treating palestinians like human beings, and then you launched a meaningless tirade against me.

The same thing is said by foreigners about Americans they've met too, but that doesn't mean people don't have valid complaints about the way our country effects the world through its policy. Like, if someone said "Americans bombed my son's birthday party with a flying murderbot and killed my dad," and a Dutch guy popped up to add "Yeah, but the Americans I know are pretty nice and they have good barbecue," they'd probably, at best, think that guy was staggeringly thick.

Dude, that last line about "not seeing color" literally left her speechless. I really don't consider it a wrecking when Lahren wasn't even there. Trevor threw her own stupidity right into her face and she had no idea what to do.
