Hi Michael's comments would be funnier still if they weren't so similar to some of the more "serious" writings by critics of science. Here is Sandra Harding: ---------------------------------------------------------- The radical feminist position holds that epistemologies, metaphysics, ethics, and politics of the dominant forms of science are androcentric and mutually supportive; that despite the deeply ingrained Western cultural belief in science's intrinsic progressiveness, science today serves primarily regressive social tendencies; and that the social structure of science, many of its applications and technologies, its modes of defining research problems and designing experiments, its ways of constructing and conferring meanings are not only sexist but also racist, classist, and culturally coercive. -----------------------------------------------------------
There are numerous examples of this, for example by Duran and Duran in their book on Post-colonial Psychology, Kenneth Gergen in his celebration of "relativism," and so on.
