Pluckrose, Lindsay and Boghossian: "Academic Grievance Studies And The Corruption Of Scholarship"

A long piece from the triumvirate who Sokalized 7-14 "grievance studies" journals. These are the heroes who gave us some sweet-ass papers I've lol'd at here pretty recently, including:

• "Human Reactions to Rape Culture and Queer Performativity in Urban Dog Parks in Portland, Oregon" (colloquially known as "dog park rape culture")
• "Going in Through the Back Door: Challenging Straight Male Homohysteria and Transphobia through Receptive Penetrative Sex Toy Use"
• "An Ethnography of Breastaurant Masculinity: Themes of Objectification, Sexual Conquest, Male Control, and Masculine Toughness in a Sexually Objectifying Restaurant"
• "When the Joke Is on You: A Feminist Perspective on How Positionality Influences Satire"
• "Our Struggle is My Struggle: Solidarity Feminism as an Intersectional Reply to Neoliberal and Choice Feminism"

All of these were accepted for publication. "When the joke" was published in Hypatia, the leading feminist philosophy journal--which already disgraced itself (at least) once in the last year-or-so, in the Tuvel affair. "Our struggle" is apparently a chapter of Mein Kampf rewritten in popomo / grievance studies jargon.

   NB4: grievance studyists start arguing that (a) these papers are obviously bad and should never have been published so this shows nothing...nothing!, (b) this doesn't count because something something academic fraud something something the fabric of trust that something academia, and/or (c) Hey, they accidentally produced legitimate grievance studies scholarship!
