DELINGPOLE: ‘Penises Cause Climate Change’; Progressives Fooled by Peer-Reviewed Hoax Study

Breitbart ^ | 05/20/2017 | James Delingpole

[ForYourChildren]

Gender studies is a fake academic industry populated by charlatans, deranged activists and gullible idiots. Now, a pair of enterprising hoaxers has proved it scientifically by persuading an academic journal to peer-review and publish their paper claiming that the penis is not really a male genital organ but a social construct.

The paper, published by Cogent Social Sciences – “a multidisciplinary open access journal offering high quality peer review across the social sciences” – also claims that penises are responsible for causing climate change.

The two hoaxers are Peter Boghossian, a full-time faculty member in the Philosophy department at Portland State University, and James Lindsay, who has a doctorate in math and a background in physics.

Leftist liberals will embrace any type of post-modern insanity.

"Two California teenagers who recently visited the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art were less than impressed by some of the exhibits and wondered if they could do better."

What about women who identify as male?

Sam one of my favorite arguments with ugly broads when they get snotty about men is: What would you do when we have the next societal collapse, which has happened many times in the past, and a big ugly guy with a sword says; “Put up and then bring me a beer.”

I don't think that most women realize how hard things can be when the wooses die young.

According to their TOS this is a pay-to-play deal. They have a financial interest in promoting garbage.

Actually my penis IS LARGE enough to gravity influence the moon and change the tides.
