Dear Gunnar,
Isn't that confirmation bias interesting in itself?:) By the way, I did
not send this link because I thought it represented "a comprehensive
demolition of gender studies". Gender studies is rooted in many different
fields, and it encompasses many different epistemological viewpoints from
critical-realism to extreme social constructionism. And it is , in my
humble opinion, has been established as a very important area of inquiry
that cannot be "demolished" with a silly thought experiment like this. What
is more interesting for me is the "twitter storm" that this hoax created.
I thought it was an interesting example of the times we live in.
