(3,682 posts)The perspectives of women being insufficiently "unbiased" (why the bias of men is never questioned I don't know), they demand facts and figures to back up our complaints. When presented with such facts and figures, they undermine the value of the social sciences which supply them. Never mind that, flawed as sociology and associated disciplines may be, they are the best tool we have for empirically understanding the nature of social problems. The real goal here is not to supply a better mechanism for evaluating, analyzing, and attempting to resolve these problems; it is to use whatever means necessary to deny that male privilege exists, or that its implications are violence and marginalization against women, and against many men who fail for whatever reason to measure up to the ideals of masculinity).
