Someone gave the link, I think we need to watch a comparison of real vs fake papers on gender:

I ask us to ponder:

Where have we now reached, why? END

UD administrators, thank you for putting up the video. It seems Video Direkt no longer works with current versions of WP, does anyone have a good video-embedding plug-in? KFkairosfocus

KMP, attempted distractive, atmosphere-poisoning turnabout rhetorical accusation through a red herring led away to a strawman -- and FYI not one of those terms is idiosyncratic or inappropriate use of words tracing to Latin and its derivatives. Where, you were already warned regarding habitual trollish misconduct that has led to banning many sockpuppets you have put up at UD, and where I frankly suspect you are one of those who has tried to stalk me and my family. For the record, objections such as you just tried to make usually come from people who -- on years of experience -- will gleefully pounce on anything we say that is not exactingly precise and built up step by step from first principles in such a way as to resist wrenching to set up strawman caricatures. Indeed, right now, right here at UD there is a dragged-out attempt to make it seem like ID proponents do not know what they are talking about when they point out that blind search cannot credibly discover islands of specific, configuration based function in extremely large configuration spaces within the gamut of the sol system or the observed cosmos; but intelligently directed configuration readily does just that. Indeed, the objections -- as text strings in English -- generally demonstrate that design is the known cause of FSCO/I. Where, each of the words I just used does something very specific and precise, based on years of reflection and no end of debates. And, the sort of deeply hostile obsessive objectors we often deal with know full well that the proper answer is to put up a good counterexample, but -- dozens of attempts having failed by the time of the mathgrrl debates six or seven years ago -- they cannot. [And no, it was a sockpuppet, not the Calculus Professor.) So, when I see attempts to play the rhetoric of objecting to style, I infer my conclusion on the merits from what is not being said. Also, from what is being distracted from. KF PS: Take due notice, that this time you were warned by UD's President as soon as you popped up with a new handle.kairosfocus

Her guidelines for getting a gender studies paper published is the best description of KF's writing style that I have ever seen. For those who don't want to waste time watching the video, here they are: 1) Use pretentious jargon (never use a monosyllabic word when you can use a polysyllabic one) 2) Be condescending towards established facts and logic. 3) Misdirect readers with irrelevant citations. Sorry, the irony was just too delicious to ignore. :)kmidpuddle
