This ideology is actually pretty well represented in ecofeminism. There are women out there who think that way. Not all ecofeminists, nor, from what I've read, even the majority of them, but they definitely exist.
Just sayin'.

This is pretty great, though. I wonder what other gold is buried in government documents?

onewheelwizzard:
As an ecofeminist myself, I can say honestly that I do believe that the majority of 20th-Century Western science IS, in fact, "inferior, inadequate, and muddled masculine thinking."

I mean, 19th-Century science and 18th-Century science and 17th-Century science were all accurately described this way too.  I don't think the more recent innovations in science have really done a whole lot to solve the problem.

My wife was having an interview for a very high-power university job in genetics.  One of the panel (female, not a scientist) kept asking her what she would "do for women" if appointed.  My wife at first responded that she did not treat women differently, and had needed no special treatment to get where she was.  Finally she lost it, and said "genetics is not a pink and fluffy subject".  She didn't get offered the job, which annoyed her, as she had actually been the referee for the grant application that created the post!

I don't understand your comment.

Our knowledge of the universe is certainly filled with mistakes and flaws, but my question to those who call science "inferior and inadequate" has always been "Inferior to what, exactly?"
