Academics are so cute when they try to spin the egg off their faces.

With gender studies, it is harder and harder to tell the difference between real crazy and made-up crazy.

Alan Sokal's Quantum Gravity hoax is no less than 22 years old now. They still bite hook, line, and sinker. HERE is a link to an explanation of the Conceptual Penis paper, and HERE is a link to the paper itself. Here's a snippet:

The conceptual penis is the operative representation of the penis in society as it obtains via a variety of performative acts and statements related to and concerning gender. Conceptualization is the best way to understand the penis, as the notion of “penis as a male anatomical organ” suffers typical androcentric and meta-scientific limitations and errors as it is both overly reductive, in failing to represent the full reality of penis-bearing human experiences, and incoherent, as the penis itself has little or nothing to do with gender (West & Zimmerman, 1987).

Come on, Perfesser, can you really read this and not know somebody's yanking yer chain? Which is, after all, a conceptual penis itself?
