Where are the usual attacks on white male-dominated science? Where’s the “standpoint epistemology” to tell us how different is the knowledge intersectionally-appropriate feminist scientists would bring to this crucial problem? How many of those labs fiercely trying to find a treatment, a vaccine, a path forward, have a demographically appropriate number of women researchers? Not to mention racially and sexually “diverse” ones? What can possibly explain the lack of attention to this terrible problem of marginalization of the already oppressed?

Please don't give them any ideas.
Telling excerpt:
For years I have noted that no one lives postmodern, though many still speak it, still pull out their identity games to make ad hominem arguments instead of substantive ones. Yet few people refuse antibiotics because they were developed in white patriarchal societies.
Alan Sokal, the physicist who had his 15 minutes of fame by writing a hoax piece that a journal of the "social sciences" accepted and published as the real thing, is one of the authors in the book reviewed.
Sokal did us all a great service.
Identity politics, and many progressive ideas, are luxury goods.
In paraphrase:
Viruses are key icons of epidemiology and global disease change. However, the relationships among gender, science, and viruses—particularly related to epistemological questions about the production of epidemiological knowledge—remain understudied. This paper thus proposes a feminist epidemiology framework with four key components: 1) knowledge producers; (2) gendered science and knowledge; (3) systems of scientific domination; and (4) alternative representations of viruses. Merging feminist postcolonial science studies and feminist political virology, the feminist epidemiology framework generates robust analysis of gender, power, and epistemologies in dynamic social-biological systems, thereby leading to more just and equitable science and human-ice interactions.
Paper pending.
There, I fixed it for y'all.

I disagree, AVI.
Identity politics, and many progressive ideas, are crack cocaine for today's Liberals.

Crack cocaine isn’t a luxury good? I’ve been misled by a generation of rappers.
I refuse to use antibiotics not because they were developed by the patriarchy but because human science is backwards on these fields.
