Feminist researcher invents ‘intersectional quantum physics’ to fight ‘oppression’ of Newton

A feminist academic affiliated with the University of Arizona has invented a new theory of “intersectional quantum physics,” and told the world about it in a journal published by Duke University Press.

Whitney Stark argues in support of “combining intersectionality and quantum physics” to better understand “marginalized people” and to create “safer spaces” for them, in the latest issue of The Minnesota Review.

People make fun of Medieval academics for debating how many angels can sit on the pin of a needle. They have nothing on this nonsense. This fraud really pissed off Schrodinger's Cat.

I heard Schrodinger’s Cat is beside himself over this nonsense.

As long as they keep their safe spaces at Planck scale, it works for me.

And I mistakenly thought when I was a freshman and read Ayn Rand’s “Anthem” that it was good but impossible—especially the discrediting and discarding of science and all technology.

I think the Heisenberg principle applies to this wacko. The more we know about her theories the less likely we are to locate her brain.

She may be narrow-minded and bureaucratic, as many “academics” are. She is probably slightly psychotic too

But hers is also probably a very logical and practical move as well - its very clear how the cultural winds blow in college campus, and in the highly political atmosphere of academia (its worse than anywhere else), this is exactly the way to get and keep funding, and keep your position.

How about, being too stupid to live, should not be receiving any public funds.

Making stuff up. Just like those who peddle anthropogenic climate change.

Due to complaints by PETA, I propose that all future experiments on expanding quantum superposition into macroscopic effects be done on Schrödinger's Stark. In other words, put this nutcase in a box.

I really hope that this was and example of satire, where some of our allies just go completely nuts with leftist gobbledygook and are able to get it through peer review, but the left has gone too crazy. There is no way to turn satire to eleven when those we wish to satirize have gone to twelve and beyond.

[tbw2]

Good one.

[plain talk]

These structures of classification, such as male/female, or living/non-living, are “hierarchical and exploitative” and are thusly “part of the apparatus that enables oppression.”

Satire?

[pabianice]

You can’t fix stupid.

Where’s that faux peer reviewed paper on gender being a social construct?

This is an obvious spin-off of that.

I’m pretty sure this is a joke website.

Perhaps someone can figure out how to carve out a bubble universe where these bubble brains can feel safe …

[Peter ODonnell]

Newton’s fourth law: Never date a feminist.

Newton’s ninth law: Never date a physicist.

So this appears to be a blending of Newton’s fourth and ninth laws.

and to create “safer spaces” for them

maybe just desensitize them and educate them in such a way that they are able to function in a free society
