Document Summary

Feminist scholars constantly face a lot of criticism with: All scholars have to be ready to justify research topics as good methods. However, there comes criticism with feminist scholarship because there is an assumption that this only deals with what women are interested in. Unless it"s a threat to the profession as a whole, this work is seen to violate the statistical soundness of scholarship. This is traced back to enlightenment when rationality was better than emotion. These standard factor objective methods and approaches that neglect collected data from different means. The slower growth of studies on feminism could be due to the traffic in ideas between restricted pr ideas and other restricted areas of knowledge. This could be because people didn"t want to give up a comfortable paradigm that was established beforehand. When it comes to examining the practice of pr, feminine work scholarship isn"t seen as productive.
