Some psychologists may be interested in a recent post "Re: Persistent
Myths in Feminist Scholarship [Hake (2009)].
The abstract reads:
**************************************
ABSTRACT: Stephen Black, in a TIPS (Teaching in the Psychological
Sciences) post of 3 July 2009 called attention to Christina Hoff
Sommers' (2009) provocative Chronicle article "Persistent Myths in
Feminist Scholarship" at
<http://chronicle.com/free/v55/i40/40sommers.htm>. In the ensuing
discussion:(a) Paul Brandon pointed out that, although he respects
her work, Hoff Sommers is "slightly right-wing" and paid by the
American Enterprise Institute; (b) Allen Esterson then responded that
Hoff Sommers' work "should be treated on its merits, regardless of
whether her socio-political views are right or left of centre!" I
agree with Esterson and point out that, as indicated in "Gender
Issues in Science/Math Education (GISME) [Hake & Mallow (2008)] and
by Esterson, the persistent errors in of some of the feminist
literature have been repeatedly pointed out by many non-AEI-sponsored
authors from all sectors of the socio-political spectrum, e.g.:
Almeder et al. (2003), Esterson (2006), Holton (1993), Koertge
(1998), Newton (1997), Patai & Koertge (2003), & Tobias et al. (2002).
