THE CONCEPTUAL PENIS AS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT: A SOKAL-STYLE HOAX ON GENDER STUDIES
BY PETER BOGHOSSIAN, ED.D. (AKA PETER BOYLE, ED.D.) AND JAMES LINDSAY, PH.D. (AKA, JAMIE LINDSAY, PH.D.) Note from the editor: Every once in awhile it is necessary and desirable to expose extreme ideologies for what they are by carrying out their arguments and rhetoric to their logical and absurd conclusion, which is why we are proud to publish this expose of a hoaxed article published in a peer-reviewed article today. It’s ramifications are unknown but one hopes it will help reign in extremism in this and related areas. —Michael Shermer “The conceptual penis as a social construct” is a Sokal-style hoax on gender studies. http://www.skeptic.com/reading_room/conceptual-penis-social-contruct-sokal-style-hoax-on-gender-studies/
