A quick note on The Science.
The Janester was interested enough in the origins of the term "demisexual" to research yesterday. As far as anyone can tell, it was coined by a teen in a role-playing forum, describing themself or a fictional character as neither "slutty" nor chaste.

(2) Pressure from online communities resulted in the adoption of the term by WebMD, etc. Now, there are multiple citable papers/chapters discussing the rise of the term, and debating what it means + whether this is a real identity (i.e. "Demisexuality as a Contested Sexuality").
(3) The majority of Woke Science is of this kind. Robin D'Angelo makes a statement in a popular book. This author/idea are then cited in the qualitative Conclusions section of a Sociology paper.
"Scientific evidence" of "white fragility" now exists. Why do you hate science?

(4) It's worth breaking this down for two reasons. 1st, this stuff collapses when subjected to EMPIRICAL analysis. What are the odds that whites would be more "fragile" than (say) Black Americans, if asked standard questions about how angry racially awkward interactions make us?
(5) Also, "the science" behind DEI debates isn't like the science behind Physics. ~Every paper noted so far traces back to 1 kid in the RPF.
The idea "non-experts" can't critique this is odd. Is the claim that Ben Shapiro OR Tim Wise just isn't SMART enough to get a MA in Soc?

(6) "Why don't you make these arguments offline?"
**I do. My audit studies piece is coming out in a month or so, I'll be at the next MPSA, etc.
"Why don't MORE serious heterodox folX?!!"
**See attached numerical graphics.
