The NSF gives a grant of 400k to a small group of researchers. They get"Glaciers, gender, and science: A feminist glaciology framework for global environmental change research"back for their troubles.

Some choice quotes:
"Glaciers are key icons of climate change and global environmental change. However, the relationships among gender, science, and glaciers - particularly related to epistemological questions about the production of glaciological knowledge - remain understudied."

"Merging feminist postcolonial science studies and feminist political ecology, the feminist glaciology framework generates robust analysis of gender, power, and epistemologies in dynamic social-ecological systems, thereby leading to more just and equitable science and human-ice interactions."

"A critical but overlooked aspect of the human dimensions of glaciers and global change research is the relationship between gender and glaciers."

"Through a review and synthesis of a multi-disciplinary and wide-ranging literature on human-ice relations, this paper proposes a feminist glaciology framework to analyze human-glacier dynamics, glacier narratives and discourse, and claims to credibility and authority of glaciological knowledge through the lens of feminist studies."

"A combination of feminist postcolonial science studies and feminist political ecology provide the intellectual foundation for feminist glaciology."

"Feminist glaciology is rooted in, and combines, both feminist science studies and postcolonial science studies to meaningfully shift present-day glacier and ice sciences."

"The response to simplistic 'ice is just ice' discourse is not merely to foreground or single out women and their experiences - that would simply perpetuate binaries and boundaries and ignore deeper foundations. Rather, it is a larger integration of human approaches and sensibilities with the existing dominant physical sciences. Global environmental change research must pluralize its ontologies, epistemologies, and sensibilities."

People are now arguing if this is a serious paper or another Sokal hoax. Either way 400k down the drain.

WTF does this even mean?

Lauren Southern on Twitter:

Feminism is more poisoned than Flint tap water

She was at a slutwalk or somethingand said that there are only two genders.One of the feminists there came up and threw a cup of piss on her and then assaulted her.

Now, what's shocking about this is all the tweets and posts from feminists who are claiming it was justified because Lauren's words were microaggressions. As I said a couple weeks ago when Shapiro visited that campus where people were trying to physically coerce those in attendance? Some of the fucking professors there were telling kids that the best way to deal with a microaggression is a macroaggression. (IE physical violence). That's why Melissa Click felt so comfortable doing what she did, this is becoming an 'acceptable' form of response for these zealots. Here the irony is off the charts that assault was used to silence another woman (I guess ban bossy and girl empowerment unless the girl says something against ideological lines, then shut that bossy bitch up with a beating.)_


This shit is going to get out of hand, even more so than now.

Toward a ?feminist glaciology? at the University of Oregon

Consensus seems to be that that 'Glaciers are sexist' paper is the real deal.

It's gonna get to the point where authors don't include characters from minority groups they don't belong to at all.
