It is soft science over-reaching into hard science
This is a great way of putting it and helps us understand why the 'expert' classes (headed by the universities) are unable to come out strongly against the woo woo.
For so long, they've been telling us that sociological discourse, like the kind Judith Butler has been expousing on gender, has equivalent validity to the hard sciences. Are they now going to have to admit that was nonsense?
Don't get me wrong, I'm an arts grad, I'm not advocating for shutting down all the softer disciplines, they have their value.
But we have to acknowledge that when it comes to people's sex, a gender studies PhD does a POV worth considering compared to a biology PhD.
