If youre not following @RealPeerReview on Twitter, youre really missing out. The account, run by anonymous moderators, posts real abstracts from far-left-wing researcher papers. The thread they posted last Thursday is pure gold.
The author of the article in question is Helen Wilson, Ph.D. She holds a doctorate in feminist studies and is the lead researcher at the Portland Ungendering Research Initiative. Her paper is entitled, Human reactions to rape culture and queer performativity at urban dog parks in Portland, Oregon. Since that doesnt actually mean anything, and performativity isnt even a word, Ill summarize: She hung around some dogs parks for a year and watched a ton of dogs having sex.
Wilson goes on to say a couple more incomprehensible things like human geographies and geographies of sexuality and to call dog owners human companions before revealing three questions that her article will attempt to answer. Here they are:
1. How do human companions manage, contribute, and respond to violence in dogs?
2. What issues surround queer performativity and human reaction to homosexual sex between and among dogs?
3. Do dogs suffer oppression based upon (perceived) gender?
She then explains that she will apply Black feminist criminology categories (to what, I dont know) and will suggest practical applications to disrupt hegemonic masculinities and improve access to emancipatory spaces. The author then helpfully introduces us to the concept of the oppressive human with relationship to that of the oppressed dog, which is subject to the often speciesist, typically anthropocentric hegemonic presence of the human subject.
I feel the need to remind you here that this is a real paper written by a real person who really says things like speciesist, typically anthropocentric hegemonic presence of the human subject with a straight face and believes that dogs are oppressed by humans. (Excuse me while I go help my dog with her protest sign.)
Wilson then gets into the highly serious, not at all hilarious details of her research. She begins by telling us that Throughout this work the word rape describes human perceptions of dogs forcefully penetrating other dogs who have given no indication of wish to engage in sexual activity. Of course, Wilson feels she must acknowledge that because of my own situatedness, as a human, rather than a dog, I recognize my limitation in being able to determine when an incidence of dog humping qualifies as rape. (Yup, she just said dog humping and rape in the same sentence. Also situatedness isnt a word.)
Okay, so shes sitting there at the dog park, watching a bunch of dogs getting it on, and trying to figure out which ones are being raped and which ones asked for it. Got it. So, now she tells us how, exactly, she accomplished this: my approach was to sit or walk around the dog park, observe, take notes, talk with people or inspect dogs, and then inconspicuously leave. I wasnt sure, at first what inspect dogs meant but Wilson was kind enough to explain that she closely and respectfully examined the genitals of slightly fewer than ten thousand dogs, being careful not to cause alarm and moving away if any dog appeared uncomfortable.
So now our pal Wilson is walking around the dog park, sniffing at the genitals of a bunch of dogs, and writing down her findings. (But dont worry, she was respectful and its all in the name of science.) Even so, she admits there might be some relevant margin of error concerning my observations about their gender in some instances. Not only that, its possible she misgendered some of the dogs' human companions as well. One wonders what she did to ascertain that information.
I have no idea what Wilsons conclusions from all this were. I dont even really understand what she was trying to figure out in the first place. All I know is that, if ever I need to be reminded that Im doing okay in life, Ill just reflect that some people apparently spend their days watching thousands of dogs having sex and still cant tell the difference between the male ones and the female ones. On the other hand, when I realize Ive spent far too much time reading posts from @RealPeerReview, Ill consider it time well spent.
Obviously there is no reasoning with these types of people, so we should just drop them out of helicopters instead.
You just can’t make this kind of s*** up.
The left will do ANYTHING to get subsidized $%$ for doing nothing and as a bonus do despicable things to children and animals.
Doctorate in Feminist Studies
Right up there with doctorates in Bigfoot, Astrology, and Alchemy.
Some universities have figured how to rape women in an entirely new and creative fashion.

Holy Gawd. and I thought the loony leftards cant get any lower on the food chain. And they think we in the right are dangerous?
Well. Somebody has an offbeat hobby here.
You have to appreciate it when someone can do what she loves, while advancing our scientific knowledge.

You pegged my Perv Meter!

Counseling or institutionalize? Or, jail?
Somewhere in Myanmar, theres a guy digging a ditch and his buddy just told him that women in America get paid big money to watch dogs screw and he said, Youve got to be shirting me!
EVERY IDIOT PROGRAM SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO TELL HOW MUCH TAX MONEY WAS USED
I think any farm kid would be able to answer her question without too much trouble. Certainly would not take a year.
Facepalm!
You left off the best accompanying photo ever...
How big is their ‘male studies’ program?
I’ve started turning Alinsky on libtards posting comments like “You words are so silly that I can’t stop laughing at what you wrote.”
Drives them into a rage every damn time! Trust me, its a lot of fun.
If we all started doing this CW 2 would happen sooner rather than later.
Libtards. Cant fail to amaze me on how sick these bastards really are.
