Another excellent piece from Nuzzo. I note that the author of the second study, Connor MacMillan, is not an academic but a Canadian PhD student in the Sociology Department of York University, the same university about which in 2015 we wrote the piece Gormless Feminists of the Month: 191 academics, students, and alumni, at York University. The 191 people signed an open letter and prevented recognition of International Men’s Day by the university.

Nuzzo writes:

“Sadly, just like the white adolescents in Dull’s study on “white ignorance,” these fathers were never given a fair chance to have their views taken seriously. Instead of analyzing the interviews inductively—letting themes emerge organically from participants’ words—MacMillan began with feminist theoretical assumptions and forced the fathers’ testimonies into that framework. He acknowledged this explicitly: “I applied a feminist epistemological lens to analyse and make meaning of these data…”

That “lens” produced a striking lack of empathy and led to conclusions that pathologized the very men who had opened up to him in good faith.”

I think we can be very sure that MacMillan would not be published other than if he “applied a feminist epistemological lens”. Presumably the anti-feminist epistemological lens had gone missing. It is appalling that British taxpayers’ money – most of it from men – funds such bogus feminist “research”, but then of course ALL feminist “research” is bogus.
