The times we live in are so sad, yet it's bitter sweet due to articles like these.
Then dont read them? Problem solved
i don't think you understand, I mean you read the sun so i don't know how you can complain about drivel getting published.

Then dont read them? Problem solved, you don't need to froth over it if you dont see it, i'm happily able to go through life without citing or seeing an article from "Gender, Place and Culture".
First time even seeing it is because someone frothed over it.

Those pictures are worrying.Because you care less about those around you and how the next generation is brought up than we do. Students are being taught lies in our universities (subsidised by us, I might add). Government policy and legislation is influenced by the output of such academics. The whole teenage "not caring" attitude, the rest of us grow out of. We live in this society, and to quote Donne, no man is an island.

IIRC, the second one is Sociology class at an American University. Actually spoke with the person who took it and no, there's no excusing context. The first one I just saw posted somewhere. Yep - very worrying. Nor especially atypical these days.
How do you know it's not atypical, got any numbers to show or is just your "feelings"?
I also definitely do not care if some pointless US university is allowing this to be taught, that's their problem not mine, because AMAZINGLY i'm not American, nor do i live there.
Show me a UK university teaching this that has >50% of the university in the class, then i'll care.
You're kinda missing the point. When someone cites a study to back up their nonsense, the fact that it's a "published, peer reviewed study" lends it weight. The point is that even minor academic journals have a responsibility to curate their content, and it appears some are not doing their job.Fixed
Yes and no, it depends on whether the journals editors are qualified in the relevant field as if not their not part of the peer review process their just editors.The point is that even minor academic journals have a responsibility to curate their content, and it appears some are not doing their job.
To be fair they, or at least one of them, are assistant professors of philosophy and that's not something I'd consider to be a science, apologies to anyone not working or studying in the hard sciences.
Philosophy is the root of all science. Without philosophy there would be no science.
