Eventually, unless she had actually discovered Cold Fusion or exceeded the speed of light, she would be marginalized as a careless and unreliable reporter.<br /><br />She would stop getting academic promotions. Students would stop thronging to her lectures. Academic departments would stop offering her prestigious posts. She would drop off of news media Rollodex's everywhere.<br /><br />These outcomes do not exist, apparently, in the expert field of gender, race and sex studies. This is especially true when you write of their "intersection".<br /><br />I hope there are rewards somewhere down the road for this public service. <br /><br />Or, is it just the personal satisfaction of defending the role of logical analysis supported by verifiable facts in the life of an enlightened civilization?<br /><br />Jim PetersonJim In San Diegohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959286127760699852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-26932807225716226802013-01-27T09:05:50.957-05:002013-01-27T09:05:50.957-05:00Is Hattery a Communist?Is Hattery a Communist?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-53205747340449147762013-01-26T15:25:09.543-05:002013-01-26T15:25:09.543-05:00"focusing on the cultural [question] that con..."focusing on the cultural [question] that contributes to behavior that is less than ethical."<br /><br />This is a red herring meant to distract from the "less than ethical" behavior of the Gang of 88 and their administration enablers. <br /><br />I suppose, though, one could dismiss their behavior as "academics will simply be academics." <br /><br />Duke ProfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-58547603898667756562013-01-26T12:57:14.299-05:002013-01-26T12:57:14.299-05:00re: "George Mason University Center for Women...re: "George Mason University Center for Women and Gender Studies"<br /><br />How long will such scams continue? Why pretend that such "academic" departments actually belong in a college or university?<br /><br />Answer: too many "youths" attend higher education and given the tyranny of the IQ curve there must be courses of study to accommodate those under an IQ of 116. Since not everyone can be an education major or education administration major other avenues of low power mental "studies" are needed to offer seats to warm hence the appearance of cul-de-sacs of sociology such as Women and Gender Studies.<br /><br />As to when it will end, probably sooner than most people think.<br /><br />Dan Kurt Dan Kurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08252444956956894276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-50106200989929295222013-01-26T12:52:50.664-05:002013-01-26T12:52:50.664-05:00Once again, we see how "narratives" take...Once again, we see how "narratives" take over the truth. The teacher is working on a narrative and, no, it does not square with the facts, but to feminists, facts are constructs of oppressive maledom, so one is free to make up whatever makes one feel good.<br /><br />Don't forget that feminists have been behind the drive to eliminate the need for any real evidence when someone alleges rape or sexual assault. In this country, thanks to federal laws, an accusation is the ONLY legal evidence needed for conviction. Since the law pretty much has found a way to make DNA irrelevant, the accusation is all that matters.<br /><br />Ditto for the Mondale Act and child abuse and child molestation claims. We are dealing with federal laws that forced states to change due process and the need for corroborating evidence. Thus, we get people thrown into prison for obvious false charges, and since prosecutors have absolute immunity, they are free to push false charges without fear of legal reprisals.<br /><br />(Nifong's punishment was an outlier, and it happened because he went so far out on the limb that it was hard even for the NC State Bar to ignore what he was doing.)<br /><br />A legal system that does away with proof is no "justice" system at all. It is an injustice system.William L.
