The Mary Sue ^ | July 4, 2023 | Ana Valens

It’s hard to dislike Judith Butler. If you’ve ever taken a Gender Studies class, you’ve probably read their work at one point or another. The term “gender performativity” is practically ubiquitous in queer, trans, and feminist theory discourse...

It’s all psycho babble in which a bunch of like minded fools sit in a circle and nod in agreement, pretending that they understand and that it makes perfect sense. It’s the emperors new clothes.

"Psycho babble"??? How can you call serious "research" such as this psycho babble?
Other means superior to the natural sciences exist to extract alternative knowledges about stars and enriching astronomy, including ethnography and other social science methodologies, careful examination of the intersection of extant astrologies from around the globe, incorporation of mythological narratives and modern feminist analysis of them, feminist interpretative dance (especially with regard to the movements of the stars and their astrological significance), and direct application of feminist and postcolonial discourses concerning alternative knowledges and cultural narratives.
And this...
“Human Reaction to Rape Culture and Queer Performativity at Urban Dog Parks in Portland, Oregon” claims to be based on in situ observation of canine rape culture in a Portland dog park. “Do dogs suffer oppression based upon (perceived) gender?” the paper asks.
Or this...
“Rubbing One Out: Defining Metasexual Violence of Objectification Through Nonconsensual Masturbation,” the fictitious author argues that men who masturbate while thinking about a woman without her consent are perpetrators of sexual violence:

By drawing upon empirical studies of psychological harms of objectification, especially through depersonalization, and exploring severel veins of theoretical literature on nonphysical forms of sexual violence, this articles seeks to situate non-concensual male autoerotic fantasizing about women as a form of metasexual violence that depersonalizes her, injures her being on an affective level, contributes to consequent harms of objectification and rape culture, and can appropriate her identity for the purpose of male sexual gratification.

These were all fictitious papers submitted by fake authors, peer-reviewed, and published in "academic journals" to prove how vacuous such "research" really is.

You’re right-it’s not psycho babble! It’s humor! Ogden Nash would have been proud! Thanks for examining it so we wouldn’t have to. Seriously, I had no idea how ridiculous this stuff is.

I stopped reading when I read this, “... you’ve probably read THEIR work at one point or another”.

Getting constant death threats would tend to put one’s back up. Might that explain testy TERFs?

Trans Excluding Radical Feminists. Usually lesbians who believe sexual mutilation by a man does not make him a woman. They get a lot of hate for refusing to be romantically or sexually involved with transwomen/aka males who now claim to be lesbians. The defend female only spaces and keeping trans athletes to competing in the sex division they were born to.

What kind of dressing do we put on those word salads? I can’t think of any salad dressing that would make any of those more palatable and make them edible. I would find myself vomiting them up on any ingesting of their poisonous melange of odious, toxic ideation rotting effluvia from sick minds. Why should I make a mental repast from such dreck when ideas of delicious logic and rational thought is waiting for my mind to savor and feed my soul, not ravish it, without having to attempt to hide that aroma of rotting death coming from constructed ideas made up of sewn together dead flesh monsters pretending to be living creatures?
