I would say that leftists writing about dog parks promotes nonsensical insanity.
I think Helen needs to get out into the natural world a bit more, where she can see how little doggies, little horsies, and little squirrelsies propagate so they don't go extinctsies.
Yep. Because most leftists think this way. And we never go to dog parks so we have no ability to see through this sort of gibberish.
The second paragraph I agree with wholeheartedly.
But if not certainly someone can post a link to the actual journal and article.
So did some research. Journal traces back to Taylor & Francis "predatory journals." It's a sham peer review process, hoax articles. I LOVE having an advanced degree and the smarts to research!

Taylor & Francis is a legitimate publisher of academic journals. Did you find evidence that other articles in A Journal of Feminist Geography are hoaxes?

*****************************************
Taylor & Francis created what has been called "predatory journals" in a scheme to transfer rejected manuscripts from its other journals to the Cogent Series. Authors of rejected manuscripts are asked to submit their papers to a Cogent Series journal for a significant pay-to-publish transaction. The scheme, however, was exposed as having a sham peer review process when Cogent Social Sciences accepted a hoax article, "The conceptual penis as a social construct." When the authors announced the hoax, Taylor & Francis retracted the article. [37]

At least this is a new article that many left- and right-leaning people can agree on something that is really stupid.
Silver lining!!
Yeah, complaining about feminism from this article is like claiming all construction workers are murderers, because one was found guilty.

I suspect it may be a fake, although we need some better proof. The author supposedly spent 1000 hours observing dog parks in Portland. That's 6 months, 8 hrs/day, 5 days/wk. Who is going to do that for one paper?
Based on the fact that the author stopped responding to emails when asked about her PhD, it could have been just some grad student trying to build her resume. If it were intended as a hoax, presumably she would have admitted it to deliver the punch line, and the journal would have taken it down.
update: according to Reason.com, they have looked into the matter and found that the paper is NOT a 'Sokal-esque' hoax, as the Reason writer says he first suspected. Sokal was a mathematician who stuffed as much gibberish as he could think up into a paper, and submitted it to a journal called Social Text IIRC. They published it, and it got bang-up reviews. Then he came out and said it was a hoax. Also Reason gives the number of hours as 100, so 1000 listed by Daily Wire may have been just a typo. https://reason.com/blog/2018/06/11/d...n-wilson-study
So it appears to be real, dashing the hopes of some liberals on this thread.
I'm going to guess that since the study appears now not to be a hoax, the liberals who clearly hoped that it was will flee this thread like a pack of Chihuahuas running from German Shepherds.
