I guess not. Tell me which part I got wrong.

Peeps created a fake paper using complete nonsense to prove that bullshit gender studies are getting published in supposedly peer reviewed journals. They got their bs published.

What am I missing? I'm truly at a loss.

Did you learn anything from the Sokal Hoax?

I think you are trolling me.

If there was no lesson from Sokal for you, then yes, there is no lesson here either. Continue on.

Pretty much.

Here is the thesis for the Sokal Affair:
peer-reviewed journals would publish an article liberally salted with nonsense if (a) it sounded good and (b) it flattered the editors' ideological preconceptions
So this is a cautionary tale about the academic peer-review process.

But of course you already knew that.

If a penis is a social construct, then what is rape?
