>Feminist geographers are urging their fellow scholars in academia to think twice before citing a research paper written by a white man, claiming it contributes to “white heteromasculinity”.

>Rutgers University professor Carrie Mott and University of Waterloo professor Daniel Cockayne have penned an academic journal article arguing that scholars ought to consider an author’s gender, race or sexuality before citing their work.

>The professors suggest, according to Campus Reform, that not citing certain groups of people, like white male scholars, is an effective “feminist and anti-racist technology of resistance that demonstrates engagement with those authors and voices we want to carry forward.”

>Mott and Cackayne claim research that is cited by fellow scholars has long-lasting implications for promotions, tenure and influence. For that reason, citing only white men in your research betrays and “does a disservice to researchers and writers who are othered by white heteromasculinism.”

>According to the authors of the article, “white heteromasculinism” is “an intersectional system of oppression describing on-going processes that bolster the status of those who are white, male, able-bodied, economically privileged, heterosexual, and cisgendered.”

How do we save Western academia from cultural marxist cancer?
