Women and minorities cannot understand logic or objective truths, says a graduate student in her dissertation, so science classes should stop using the scientific method.
College science classes are hostile to women and minorities because they use the scientific method, which assumes people can find reliable truths about the natural world through careful and sustained experimentation, concludes a recent dissertation by a doctoral candidate at the University of North Dakota.
Laura Parson, a student in the university’s education department, reviewed eight science class syllabi at a “Midwest public university” and said she discovered in them a hidden hostility to women and minorities:
"Initial exploration of the STEM syllabi in this study did not reveal overt references to gender, such as through the use of gendered pronouns. However, upon deeper review, language used in the syllabi reflects institutionalized STEM teaching practices and views about knowledge that are inherently discriminatory to women and minorities by promoting a view of knowledge as static and unchanging, a view of teaching that promotes the idea of a passive student, and by promoting a chilly climate that marginalizes women."
Even though the course syllabi contained no “gendered assumptions” about students or other overtly discriminatory implications, Parson writes, they display prejudice against women and minorities because they refuse to entertain the possibility that “scientific knowledge is subjective.”
Women Are Too Stupid to Use Logic
Throughout her dissertation, Parson assumes and asserts that women and minorities are uniquely challenged by the idea that science can provide objective information about the natural world. This is an unfair assumption, she says, because the concept of objectivity is too hard for women and minorities to understand. “[N]otions of absolute truth and a single reality” are “masculine,” she says, referring to poststructuralist feminist theory.

Feminism is retarded because it’s Feminist.
And, She will vote!
JFC when will this nonsense end
DEevolution is a fascinating thing to observe.
So HER attempt to use logic in HER dissertation doesn’t disprove HER thesis how?
Sounds like this one needs to be fed to ISIS...

Honestly, it’s refreshing to see such honesty from that side for a change. Most often, they pretend it’s the same for everyone, which is more ridiculous.
So this stupid twit is saying that women*** and minorities*** are too emotional and weak minded to be scientists.
OOh, but she reversed the responsibility, saying scientists must change the practices of their teaching and research to conform to emotional and weak minded women*** and minorities.***
***I am not suggesting that all women and minorities are in fact too emotional and weak minded to be scientists, I am merely commenting upon the views embodied in the sack of s### that is said to be this woman’s PhD dissertation. Talk about a regressive position for women and minorities, the sciences are too rigorous and factual for them?????
I think I now understand why America’s so messed up...
Guess everybody'll have to go on Welfare.
I wonder if she would be willing to get on an aircraft designed by an “engineer” who felt that the principles of aerodynamics were subjective and did not need to be grounded in the scientific method?
Can I just put forward here that i am female, excelled in science in school and had a long career in a technical field? And I don’t think there’s any male/female $#!+ to truth?
Criminy, this just ticks me off to no end. Know how to make us ladies look super inferior and stupid? Just publish something like this! This person reflects badly on all women. May I tar and feather her?
She’s in the wrong business. Unless she wants to be a climatechangologist, in which case she’s over-qualified.
We are screwed.
The first half of the first sentence is largely true. The problem is a steady intellectual diet of lucky charms.
“...so science classes should stop using the scientific method.”
Isn’t that called Study Hall?
STFU ya hag
Actually, she is a “student” in the school of “education”, which accounts perfectly for her imbecility. Education is where everyone winds up who has failed out of every other major, including women’s studies and journalism! The “stupid” is almost infinitely powerful there....;)
Can you imagine if a man wrote this? Just imagine the outcry. BTW, I raised a daughter that is a chemical engineer and her best friend is a rocket scientist... No joke, her friend built engines on the shuttle and now works on Atlas rockets for United Launch Alliance. She invited us to the last night launch about a month ago and we were less than 3 miles from the pad.
