Nothing really happened. Malebranche was widely-read, but seldom actually followed. It arguably set the precedent for non-interactionist solutions to the mind-body problem, but these too have remained unpopular.

I have heard it alleged that certain women cum buckets with only anal stimulation. I don't know why that would be, a deep G-spot or something. 1/3 of men can cum from anal stimulation alone, as well.

This is not to say that every piece of text ought to be examined through every single possible perspective but it ought to be examined by the content of its Language. Instead of examining ‘Das Kapital’ from a Feminist perspective, it ought to be analyzed from a Marxist or Capitalist or as a criticism of an economic doctrine. The same goes for novels which have nothing to with the subject at hand, a feminist critique of ‘Lord of the Rings’ would serve no purpose but a critique of it as fantasy would. Beyond that, an examination of the context it was written in would serve a greater purpose than an examination of a piece of literature in today’s context since the author did not write it for today but for yesterday.
Going back to my original point, further examination of the separate fields of linguistics yields a deluge of problematic studies and statements. Each paper attempts to deal with issues related to their field but fails to examine the overall context of any particular situation, i.e. Humans and Reality. World Englishes will often attempt to fight back against establishing a global standard of English based on the standards of English in the West but ignore the context of human association with the language and culture. The human nature of protectiveness over what it perceives as its own and a basic understanding of collective human thought which is related to the field of psychology. Syntax and Semantics try to formulate established methods of the formation of grammar and its relationship with meaning but such an examination is nigh impossible without a deeper understanding of neurology, psychology and a myriad of other components which play a role within humans.

You should take care not to write arrogantly or condescendingly, because you never know if the reader has a question you haven't answered.

>There is no better prose describing the morality (or lack of) and irresponsibility of the radical intelligentsia of 19th Century Russia
That actually sounds interesting, I don't know why I've never considered picking it up.

>read Lea Pyykkö's Finnish translation
I can try, but Finnish is not an easy language. Did you know that Finnish is one of the hardest languages to learn due to it's many grammatical complications? Well, it is.
