A Swedish study found, for instance, that “gender studies” are the best financed, but also most biased and least objective of all disciplines within the humanities and social sciences!"

Follow the money trail...where does it originate?

Gender studies don't even qualify to be assessed in terms of bias since their purpose isn't to teach or to research. They're just political activists masquerading as academics. The whole point is to be biased. Their goal is to spread their belief system and enforce conformity to said system as far as they can.

Imagine nazis/communists/flatearthers got their own university program - lecturing from and referencing their own propaganda as "academic sources".

The difference is that feminists enjoy a remarkable amount of immunity from being scrutinized like those other ideologies would be. Because, supposing a biology professor takes a look at this and points out how distorted it is, you get an exchange somewhat like this:

1) Feminists: "there is no biological sex"

2) Biology professor: "that's not correct, there is"

3) Feminists: "You don't understand women's experiences and you aren't familiar with feminist research so you're not qualified"

4) Biology Professor: "Well you said there's no biological sex and I am qualified to talk about biology"

5) Feminists: "So you're saying women are inferior and should go back into the kitchen. Misogyny".

6) Feminists proceed to write blog posts repeating this and the mainstream media parrot that. Students protest and the professor gets fired.

7) Other actual academics saw this take place and learn to just stay the hell away from that minefield and keep doing what they're there to do.

8) Decades of this and here we are in 2018.

Next issue proclaims a discovery that water is wet.

What is bizarre is that Swedish gender studies is much more nuanced than that in the US, as far as what I have seen. True, much of it reeks of ideology - but there are halfway objective studies on male victims of DV, the education gap, and men's health. In fact, in the few areas where it is possible to stay clear of ideology, some excellent insights have emerged. And some of the most critical voices about the discipline arise from within its own ranks.

Not defending gender studies as a whole, of course. But the mere fact that despite several bright spots and the overall pressure to come to the right conclusions, a credible study comes out with these types of findings is, to say the least, striking.

Problem is... Gender Studies is NOT a science. It is a collection of ugly on the inside and outside people trying to blame their problems on men instead of finding the actual root of their problems and trying to solve it. They are only interested in finding a convenient scapegoat.
