Woke Gender "Scholar:" Intelligence is Just "The White Man's Mythology"

This post was written before the big blog crash, but it's an evergreen.

A Woke White Woman (what else could it have been?) has decided the entire concept of intelligence is a "white man's mythology."

A University of Cincinnati graduate assistant wrote that "intelligence is a White man's mythology."

"Stop calling your female colleagues 'smart,' or 'clever,' or 'brilliant,'" wrote Mel Andrews, who studies cognition and evolution. "It's sexist and infantilising... it shouldn't be surprising to you in 2021 that women are capable of thought."

Well to be honest, dearie, it wasn't a surprise to me before around 2015.

Now it's become fairly rare, hasn't it?

Note she is strongly implying that she herself has had to suffer the indignity of being called "smart," "clever," or even "brilliant."

Since, as we'll see, this dim bulb makes up her own nonsense words left and right, I'll make up a more useful word for the action of disguising a self-brag as a grievance.

Hm, I think I'll call it a Complainoboast.

This Woke Feminist immediately had to link her Own Private Hell of Being a Wealthy White Woman Who Is (Impliedly) Sometimes Insulted by Being Called "Brilliant" with the... struggles of blacks and Hispanics.

"You're doing the same thing when you describe your Black and Latino students as 'very bright,'" added Andrews.

“Intelligence is a White man’s mythology. A phantasmal concept. A non-referring term. Syncategorematic,” she wrote.

Woke Wealthy White feminists always do that now -- they know that people do not considered their soft, easy, privileged lives to be ones of obvious oppression (and for good reason), so they use the tropes of intersectional gibberish to link their experiences to those with fewer privileges.

By the way, although this pyrsyn's picture appears female, their twitter handle suggests they're a boy.

And I do mean "their" and "they're" in that sentence. This appears to be another one of those many privileged Wealthy White Women who've decided to LARP as oppressed minorities by claiming designer pronouns: "They/Them/Theirs."

Oh, and I'm not going to define or guess at the meaning of the made-up nonce word "syncategorematic." It's made up. It's a farce. These people do not work in any real academic field so they are always attempting to create a technical-sounding jargon to give themselves status which they are not owed. They invent nonsense words and try to get other Social Justice Warriors and Gender Studies Majors (but I repeat myself, of course) in other Social Justice Warrior's nonsense "scholarship," because that's the "scholarly" version of "going viral on Twitter."

Seriously, that's what it is: Paying $60,000 per year to get a useless Fake News degree in Trying to Make Fetch Happen.

But if you want to decipher her made-up non-word...

She also deploys another nonsense word in that excerpt: "operationalized."

In the fields of Fake Science, "operationalization" here describes a pattern or practice that cannot be measured rigorously or even seen, but which is, um, otherwise detected or "felt" by Social Justice Warriors.

In research design, especially in psychology, social sciences, life sciences and physics, operationalization or operationalisation is a process of defining the measurement of a phenomenon that is not directly measurable, though its existence is inferred by other phenomena. Operationalization thus defines a fuzzy concept so as to make it clearly distinguishable, measurable, and understandable by empirical observation. In a broader sense, it defines the extension of a concept--describing what is and is not an instance of that concept. For example, in medicine, the phenomenon of health might be operationalized by one or more indicators like body mass index or tobacco smoking.

In other words: if I can't actually measure or show actual racism, I can just say that racism has been "operationalized" in penumbras and emanations too subtle to be detected on the Material Plane.

I like how "They" makes a balderdash statement and then says, "Don't believe me? Then let me link myself to prove the bullshit I just said."

How humble!

By the way: I insist that these people bothering us with their stupid pronouns use their pronouns themselves. Why should she get to use the normal pronoun "I" to refer to herself while trying to bully us into using her nonstandard Mental Illness pronouns?

These cretins should use the third-person pronouns when speaking first-person. If we have to use plural pronouns for single people, it's no imposition to demand that the Pronoun Pyrsyns refer to themselves as They.
