This paper was published in the pay-to-publish journal Cogent Social Sciences which, at least according to the paper's authors, demonstrated that the field of gender studies wasn't rigorous and shouldn't be taken seriously.\nThe fact that they could pay a shabby academic journal to publish their paper says less about gender studies than it does about the state of academic publishing. Their paper is, nonetheless, a very funny piece of satire, capturing the word-vomit style of many social sciences papers. We read through the paper and offer a (mostly on-topic) running commentary.\nVERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION\nJack has published a novel!\nAmazon: https://www.amazon.com/Tower-Jack-BC-ebook/dp/B0CM5P9N9M/ref=monarch_sidesheet\nApple Books: http://books.apple.com/us/book/id6466733671\nJack's website: www.jackbc.me\nLevi's website: www.levioutloud.com\nwww.thebookclubfromhell.com\nOur Patreon: www.patreon.com/TheBookClubfromHell\nJoin our Discord (the best place to interact with us): discord.gg/ZMtDJ9Hscr\nWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0n7r1ZTpsUw5exoYxb4aKA/featured\nTwitter: @bookclubhell666","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/gIzeOHUHs7RZ9ol5IYh_CT1rjubaNPNBix4NumF6on0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI2NDM1LzE3MDcz/NDM4NDktYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
