Oh hell that isn't new at all. My landlady back in Oz took an art class in college in the 70s that was called... actually I forget the class, but it was contemporary something-or-other. Anyway, the first class was on phallo-logo-centrism: basically the idea was that in a male-dominated society, things are shaped like penises (skyscrapers, rockets, jet engines, etc.) because that's males asserting their dominance on the culture. Because, y'know, structural engineering, aerodynamics and thermodynamics aren't things. She started to giggle, then started to laugh outright. She said she couldn't control herself and started to get into a laughing fit. The instructor told her to be quiet, then ordered her to leave the auditorium. She said she barely made it out, she couldn't breathe by the time she got out there. |

It is fun, to be sure. But it isn't on the same level as the Sokol paper. If you read the article far enough you'll see it was rejected by the main journal and sent to a pay-to-publish journal. A nicer one, supposedly, but pay-to-publish all the same. Still, fun stuff. And mad props for the line about manspreading causing global warming. |
