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.

It's actually worse than you at first thought. The fake article was accepted for publication after the pompous pseudo intellectuals asked for revisions, which means they pretended to make sense of it but were so arrogant they insisted on improvements!! As if to prove they not only understood it but were a wee bit smarter still.

What a bunch of absolutey astounding phonies!

‘Penises Cause Climate Change’

Vaginas, on the other hand, are a veritable climatological panacea. Ocean levels rising? Never fear, vaginas suck it up like a shop vac. Global warming got you down? Well, help is on the way. Like a refreshing subterranean breeze sent by Gaia from the caves at Lascaux, cosmic vaginal consciousness heals our precious environment via evaporation much like a swamp cooler. Ice age? Wise vaginas become a collective heat pump, cooperatively sharing the warmth in a maternal embrace.

I think you are onto something. That thesis would sell. Big time! Not only could you be published and peer reviewed, your study included in mandatory Diversity Studies classes at universities and colleges across the country, you could get a government grant worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to further your scholarly research into this wonderful panacea to the world’s problems. Maybe even a Nobel prize.

I say, go for it! Work that thesis! Make it sound more academic. Up the postmodern jargon substantially. You can do this!

I propose vaginal carbon sequestration credits.

You are on a roll!

“also claims that penises are responsible for causing climate change.

Mine causes women to get hot.”

Well, there you go: case closed!

[catnipman]

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

Fine. But does it cause climate change as well? If not, fuggedaboutit.

[catnipman]

“I have a mind to send this to my liberal brothers and pretend outrage at what’s said in the article.”

Do it!

“I clearly recall when a failing student in one of my English Lit. courses discovered the word “dichotomy”. He started throwing it around in his essays and class comments ...ended up with an “A””

If only he had also thrown in a few “dialectics”, it would have been an A+ ...

You don't have to remove it physically.  Just remove it conceppppptually, and you should be ok. :-)

“So, for this new spoof, Boghossian and Lindsay were careful to throw in lots of signifier phrases to indicate fashionable anti-male bias:..” “They also took care to make it completely incomprehensible...”

Brilliant...
