Ladies and gentlemen, postmodernism:

>The privileging of solid over fluid mechanics, and indeed the inability of science to deal with turbulent flow at all, she attributes to the association of fluidity with femininity. Whereas men have sex organs that protrude and become rigid, women have openings that leak menstrual blood and vaginal fluids... From this perspective it is no wonder that science has not been able to arrive at a successful model for turbulence. The problem of turbulent flow cannot be solved because the conceptions of fluids (and of women) have been formulated so as necessarily to leave unarticulated remainders.

i'm not threatened or disgusted by it. it's just a stupid thing to say, you know? it doesn't invalidate the method or anything, it's not stupid because it's postmodern, but it is real dumb

Esteemed feminist philosopher Luce Irigaray, extract I quote was from a chapter analyzing her in a book written by literacy theorists Sokal and Bricmont.

She also believes E=mc2 is a 'sexed' equation because it gives privilege to the speed of light over other speeds.
