Open the door to one thing.
Eventually.
Everything else comes in.
I wonder what that one thing was.
Not really.
I know.

I suppose it depends how you define "preference". It is still an illness.

Re: Pedophilia is not a sexual preference. Men are not women .....
Fashionable Nonsense (Impostures intellectuelles) by Alan Sokal and Jean Bricmont was published way back in 1998, so a whole generation ago. Sokal is best known for getting spoof postmodernist papers published in academic journals and then exposing them.
Among the things it criticised were academics who said:
* the square root of -1 is phallic and patriarchal.
* the speed of light must not be privileged "over other speeds that are vitally necessary to us"
* fluid mechanics is unfairly neglected because it is feminine
* topology is a form of mental illness
* e = mc² is a masculinist equation
That's just physics and mathematics. The mess that's been wrought in the arts and humanities, and chaos in politics, is even worse... and twenty four years have passed since then.
