My.... "Kampf"

Apparently grievance scholarship is subject to some... many... weaknesses.
Affilia, a peer-reviewed journal of women and social work, formally accepted the trio’s hoax paper, “Our Struggle Is My Struggle: Solidarity Feminism as an Intersectional Reply to Neoliberal and Choice Feminism.” The second portion of the paper is a rewrite of a chapter from “Mein Kampf.” Affilia’s editors declined to comment.
Now, in fairness, no one reads "Mein Kampf." You wouldn't be expected to recognize a rewrite the way you would a rewrite of the Declaration of Independence or something similar. On the other hand, unless Hitler was a writer of greater intellectual quality than I've been led to believe, you'd think a mere rewrite of his work would draw something less than academic approval.

But that's not all. Oh, no. This crew has been up to quite a bit of mischief, which you can read about at the link.

Fantastic. I follow Helen Pluckrose on twitter- she's a wonderfully witty classical liberal.
