Our thanks to Elizabeth Hobson for this lengthy but interesting piece. An extract:

We live in an age where mountains of bullshit—such as on sex and gender matters—are regularly created within academe out of molehills of truth. Societies have often constrained women, for example, but that fact does not support the huge theoretical edifice constructed above it. This has happened because reality tests across the academy are so weak.
