How do you combine feminism and Global Warming? The answer may lie in 2016's most ridiculous piece of academic work. And that's part of a College Fix list that includes accusations of cupcake appropriation.
Perhaps the most infamous case study of 2016 rammed us with “feminist glaciology” in the peer-reviewed journal Progress in Human Geography. The study, published in January, notes that “relationships among gender, science, and glaciers” have been “understudied” (who knew they were being studied at all?), and it seeks to solve that by “proposing a feminist glaciology framework.”
The article was funded by a $412,000 grant from the National Science Foundation.
This beat out feminist cupcake theory.
According to Prof. Irina Michalache of the University of Toronto, the “versatility and rather loose historical associations of cupcakes” have — get this — “allowed for its appropriation by a most unexpected population— men.”
The author also alleges that cupcakes are “both a feminist statement and proof of postfeminist domesticity.”
Not to mention discovering that feminist theories explain depression far better than science.
Prof. William Schultz at Argosy University’s Minnesota School of Professional Psychology doesn’t believe that “chemical imbalance” causes depression. The evidence for that is scant, he claims. Feminist theories are much more convincing to him
If this doesn't depress you, I don't know what will. But remember, according to the left, they're in the business of science. This is what their idea of science looks like.
