  Episode 194 - Professor Marc Defant-Challenging Feminist Studies

  Jan 5, 202659 minS6

  Marc Defant is a professor of geology at the University of South Florida who authored the 2025 paper "Evolutionary Psychology and the Crisis of Empirical Rigor in Feminist Studies," published in Sexuality & Culture. The paper critiques feminist studies for prioritizing ideology over empirical evidence, using evolutionalry psychology to challeng concepts like pariarchy, social constructionism, fat studies, rape theories, and ecofiminism. Defant argues these ideas often ignore biological ralities, such as sex differences in reproductive investment, and function more as political advocacy then rigorous scholarship. In this episode, Professor Defant discuss this paper and it's impact on academia. www.marcdefant.com Music-Scott Buckley-Monomyth, The Fury
