The intellectual poverty of women's society

Truth seeking and emotional-relational speech norms cannot co-exist

This argument concerns the structural patterns of women’s discourse, rather than every single woman. What I lay out here has also not been ‘studied’ for obvious reasons, although I have included some citations nonetheless. But let’s be real, the replication crisis of academic research means we have no way of knowing if a finding is still true even if I used it. Until the rise of credentialist managerialism, we relied on our own faculties and pattern recognition to discern things rather than outsourcing our thinking to individuals invested in ignoring ideologically inconvenient findings, such as the theory I’ve laid out here.
