Clay Routledge in Quillette. Professors in postmodern fields such as gender studies are actively teaching ideas that are more conspiracy theory than scholarly research. If you want to laugh or perhaps cry from seeing what postmodernists are up to in the social sciences, follow the New Real Peer Review @RealPeerReview on Twitter. Many academics focus on…

The institutionalized pseudo-inquiry of “professionalized” whining, perpetual victimhood and self-aggrandizement railing against “the patriarchy”, is no more than yet another ill-founded conspiracy theory peddled by the intellectually lazy virtue-signaling prof with no skin in the game.

The permutations of idiocy…
