Richard Dawkins on Women's Studies, academic bullies, and academic fraud

Richard Dawkins on the disturbing postmodern trends in both academia and in pop journalism. He warns about the pervasive denial of objective truth and the fostering of prejudice and ignorance. In particular Dawkins cites the bullying and intimidation that is tragically characteristic of the field of "Womens Studies."
In metaphorically describing reality as "digital" Dawkins conveys the pixelated, discrete, and finite nature of reality that we have uncovered in the 20th century.

@Mirani2 It is interesting how in trying to make the case that women really are "dissadvantaged" in an analogous fashion to a minority group, feminists carefully cherry pick thier facts. You won't hear the official feminists complain about how men are 90% of the homeless, 90% of the prizon population, and 99% of work place deaths, or about how women spend/consume/control the majority of disposable income, retire earlier, and live longer and healthier lives for example.

Women are also much less likely to be the victim of violent crime or murder BTW, but they also have special VAWA policies designed specifically to protect women only, from males only, and to take away the rights of the men who are accused on behalf of women.

A true brainwashed WS student would argue that you can not and should not separate politics from academics, or choose between advancing a social agenda and advancing knowledge. They would be right, but they would use this as an excuse or justification to move the goal posts, and to forget entirely about the academic goal of advancing knowledge, when convenient, but then still pose as credible, knowledgeable academics when convenient.

@KMallinson Firstly its not a 'legitimized' relationship. Secondly we currently don't live in patriarchy(from wiki def. Patriarchy is a social system in which the male gender role as the primary authority figure is central to social organization, and where fathers hold authority over women, children, and property.) in western countries.I asked her abt WS because academics is not for political purposes or gender empowerment,its for unfettered and unbiased research.

@MsTiberiius I don't think that sarcasm is the right word. I was posing a question about her thought process, but I forgot to add a question mark at the end. Her comment seemed to come out of nowhere, but then I realized that it could relate to what I had said about men failing at life, and feminsts cherry picking and categorizing women as an oppressed group.

@sun4502 Women's studies largely study legitimized power relationships. Women's studies is the deconstruction of the violent patriarchy in which we currently live.

@St37One Please tell me you're being sarcastic..?

@sun4502 don't forget buddy. The meaning of the term "sexism" is meant to be somewhat vague and subjective. It was never intended to refer to "positive" things such as systematically favoring or empowering women over men, only "negative" things that "sexist" enemies would engage in can be considered examples of sexism. If feminists had princples, then they could be held accountable and thier ideas could be scrutinized. So please don't give them too much credit.

@namedULaika what do you research in these programs?It seems very sexist to me that every other university has programs critiquing(app. critical theory) society from a vantage point of one particular gender.
