Madness. But the Intermaps project must be valid surely. Look at all the people they managed to find to test it - 54 respondents to evaluate the tool’s categories and confirm its adaptability, a focus group with eight experts who assessed its relevance and clarity, and pilot tests with 37 participants that led to adjustments for enhanced usability. Consultations with our advisory board members, alongside GIS experts, helped optimize the tool’s capabilities.
"[O]ne of the researchers groaned in big words about the emotional labour that “queer kids” are forced to endure in the face of '“adultism” and “cisheteronormativity” in their parents’ homes." That sentence made me chuckle out loud. The researcher thinks the kids have it bad? Just imagine the emotional labour of the parents who have to put up with such brats.
The penis bank story is amusing because of its historical echoes. After castration, Chinese eunuchs' didn't discard their penises either but kept them pickled in jars. The belief was that these members would be reunited in the afterlife, presumably at some time before (sorry, can't help myself) resurrection.
The "silly" fake research programs aren't intended to produce results. They're buying loyalty and dependency. The Blob converts all biomass into More Blob. That's the only purpose of the Blob.
As always your attention to the minutiae of these insane projects which the EU is happy to throw money at is awesome. Thanks for your energy, purposefulness, and sarcasm -it makes it all just about digestible!
From Miroslav Djordjevi’s Mt. Sinai Hospital profile (linked above):
“Dr. Djordjevic will recruit a total sample size of approximately 100 cadavers—50 male, 50 female—with assistance from his colleagues at the Forensic Institute at Belgrade University.”
How can he tell which cadavers are male and which female if they’re not wearing clothes?
2. Much of Grievance Studies boils down to a jobs program. The various eu programs are also jobs programs for otherwise unemployable Grievance Studies grads, almost all of whom are PMC members in good standing.
I agree with you about gender identity as ridiculous concept. And probably about a lot of sociology research. But I think there is still a lot of racism and social disadvantage about and calling recognition of this "woke" is a bit irritating.
Amazing that when feminists were fighting to destroy gender, nobody lifted a finger to help us.
Now that men are fighting to *enshrine* gender, everyone and their dog is leaping on the bandwagon.
Patriarchy has not changed at all.

Thanks, Austin.

“There are 115 women for every man in Latvia”
Wow! Just think how much blame each of those few Latvian guys has to bear for whatever
Haha FATAL TYPO thanks for noticing

Rarely has a subtitle sparked my interest more
"(he would have had a much harder time getting away with it in the quantum mechanics department)"
I can easily see someone publishing a paper in a mainline physics journal titled, "The Socio-Sexual Implications of Top and Bottom Quarks."
Sadly such nonsense as “feminist theories of glaciation” does get published.
Ever read about The Sokal Hoax?
Or a series of similar hoaxes propagated and peer-reviewed a couple years ago, covering such burning topics as queer performativity in dog parks?
Eight years ago, believe it or not!
