This week's BMJ

[doesanybodywantanytoast]

There is a short article in the BMJ about the spoof academic papers that I think I have seen mentioned on this board.

The author of the spoof articles on gender is under investigation at his university.

His chapter on intersectional feminism was a rewrite of mein kampf with feminist buzzwords switched in. It does not say if that particular article was accepted for publication.

The article is behind a paywall but I have an image that I can post. Reference BMJ 2019;364:l193 in case the bmj's lawyers are watching.

I have been following this investigation too. They actually had 3 (I think) papers published but I think they have been retracted now. Their detractors have similar levels of wokiness to TRAs:

The guy who did the videos has also made one about Helen E Heyring & Bret Weinstein. twitter.com/mikenayna/status/1086032001382047744?s=21
It’s nearly 30 minutes long so not good for a quick watch. HEH is a biologist. She tweets at @heleneheyring, including this gem:
‘Sex and gender are distinct concepts, but intrinsically related. Sex refers to what kinds of gametes you (will or could) produce: eggs or sperm. There are genetic, anatomical, physiological, and neurological expressions of female and male sex, in humans as in all animals.’
