:#marseycontemplatesuicide:

Its on medieval patriarchy. They made the course fricking compulsory.

:marseyraging: :!marseyraging:

Queer Theory is an integral part of Gender Studies.

>Title: Does Queer Theory Have a Paedophile Problem?

If you want to start a postmodern flamewar, follow up on Derrick Jensen's talk:

>medieval patriarchy

:#marseyitsover:

Especially with that "methodology" section. The gender wage gap is debooonked because one paper from the 80s says so.

>Cherry picking is an essential tool of gender studies.

Maybe go with that? :marseyderp:

That first paragraph is basically a Kafka trap: if it's written by a man, then it's all suspect because it's patriarchal knowledge. Never mind what those men are actually arguing about because they're wrong by virtue of being men (prejudiced much? :marseygasp:).

>Ad hominems and red herrings are another set of essential tools within gender studies.

Okay okay. How about this: Gender studies is inimical to empiricism because its own methodology has ruled out the use of statistics and coherent theorizing. Those forms of knowledge have been dominated by men, thus are "patriarchally constructed" (Oakley, 1974; Some Other Mad C*nts, 1983-1988).*

(They have a weird, implied definition of empiricism, but that makes sense because the philosophy of science is another patriarchal offshoot which should be safely ignored).

Advancing those points will get you an F, so argue the opposite point while using their own words. If it sounds stupid, that means you're headed toward a B.**

* & **For example, "therefore, the task of building a new epistomology falls upon the shoulders of such great feminists as.... ???? ????. Surely, their "science" will go somewhere in 2 weeks."

They already built a new epistemology. Women's feelings.

:#marseygoodnight:

But the b-word writing this goes one step further. Even those aren't valid cause they're contaminated by the patriarchy too.
