This is a little synopsis I wrote on Fox Keller's article 'Feminism and Science' on how feminists should modify the concept of objectivity, which she claims has become infected with male concepts like domination.

How would this Keller enforce this new dynamic objectivism on science? Ain't already her and every other woman free to research publish and give a femminine egalitarian emotional spin to the results, maybe representing the cell as a French ballet?

Does she really think she discovered the perceiving subject influences the perceived object? This looks like old stuff to me.

Btw I see she assumes the existence of huge gender differences. This opens the door to much more interesting speculations about the minimum wheight of women in science.

It's essentialism. It require's categories at the basis of it's existence. It is self starting and biased towards the predelictions of it's proponent(s).

By the way, would you have the atomic weight?
