The one field in the social sciences where there is the least presence of post-modern oppression-“privilege” types is Economics, which prompts me to propose the theorem that the presence of politically correct nonsense in an academic department is inversely proportional to the emphasis placed on rigorous regression modeling in the discipline (or knowledge of ancient languages).That's Steve Hayward at Powerline, via Catallaxy Files, HT: Jason Krupp.
During the NZ summer, NZ Twitter gets especially stupid. After one particularly inane round of offence-taking, I even saw the suggestion that it's a form of privilege not to take offence at others' tweets. I don't know how any of these people manage to function in the real world.
