| Feminist Research Less Likely to Get Funding Than Race Theory Research |
| 2018-08-30 |
| h/t Instapundit A new study has found that feminist theory research is 20 percent less likely to be funded than research on racial and ethnic theory, a funding disparity that may be even greater when feminist research is compared to academic research at large. Polish researcher Aleksandra Cisłak-Wójcik published her study "Bias Against Research on Gender Bias" in the most recent issue of Scientometrics, an international academic journal that focuses on the quantitative issues surrounding scientific research. While previous studies have looked at feminist theory research more generally, this is the first to use a comparative approach -- comparing the publication outcomes of feminist theory research to those of another social justice topic: racial and ethnic issues. The researchers catalogued nearly 1,000 studies published in journals dedicated to either racial justice or feminist theory. Then they determined if each article had received funding, and how prestigious of a journal the article was published in. Cisłak-Wójcik was not surprised that the results showed feminist theory was 20 percent less likely to get funded. And that, if the research was funded, it was placed in a much less prestigious journal than expected. For Cisłak-Wójcik, this points to an "underappreciation" of feminism. Journals assessed included Gender and Society and Sex Roles. They publish articles on issues such as gender non-conformity and masculinity. |

| #9 There is a certain hierarchy with the left. And when I get the grievances all organized I want to make Pokemon SJW! players can make their Pokeman by selecting different orientations - race, religion, gender, so forth then battle it out so everyone sitting around the coffee shop can figure out who the only person allowed to speak is. |

| #7 If the Democrat's regain control of the House expect these projects to become "popular" again -- one pork-laden line at a time hidden deep in a Omnibus Spending Bill. |

| #5 We're 20 Trillion dollars in debt. Time to kill the Great Society's children like the National Endowments. Get your money from the Trusts, till we kill their tax exemptions as well. |
