JANE THE ACTUARY: The “health of women in academia.” “I probably should have known better, but (remember, I’m an actuary) I was pretty appalled at this survey design. If these women think they can draw any conclusions from their results, then they are justly ‘presumed incompetent’ despite the complaint in their manifesto that this is an unjust assumption. A self-selected survey, destined to be completed only by those with grievances, in which the respondents are asked explicitly to make the connection that their systematic oppression harms their health cannot make any contribution to knowledge on the subject.”

To be fair, “contributing to knowledge” isn’t the point. Agitprop is.
