Silence is the name ...Women's ways of knowing:<br /><br /><i>Silence is the name given to the first epistemological position, and describes women who felt disconnected from knowledge...</i><br /><br />These women deserve our sympathy, so I will not lay into them.<br /><br /><i>Received knowledge describes the epistemological position in which women in the study perceived knowledge as a set of absolute truths received from infallible authorities. The process of learning, as understood by received knowers, involves receiving and repeating the knowledge and words of authorities.</i> <br /><br />That "way of knowing" describes liberals to a tee. What I don't get is why they are interested in discussions on political blogs.<br /><br /><i>Subjective knowledge is characterized by the recognition of the self as an authority. Subjective knowers rely on their own subjective thoughts, feelings and experiences for knowledge and truth - the "infallible gut"...<br /><br />Women with this perspective at some point experienced the development of a "protesting inner voice" , which allowed them to make their own claims to truth and knowledge. Along with the nascent discovery of the inner voice, subjective knowers showed a general distrust of analysis and logical reasoning</i><br /><br />I know a couple like this. We are now into the vast majority of women and logic and reason have not reared their ugly heads except as things to be avoided or distrusted.<br /><br /><i>Procedural knowledge reflects the recognition that multiple sources of knowledge exist, and that procedures are necessary for evaluating the relative merit of these sources. Procedural knowers focus on methods and techniques for evaluating the accuracy of external truth and the relative worth of authority.<br />...<br /><br />Most procedural knowers in this study were economically privileged, Caucasian, young college students or graduates</i><br /><br />Now we are talking about thinking! It is of course beyond the pale to suggest that these women are more economically privileged because they think more effectively! <br /><br /><i>Constructed knowledge as a position is characterized by a recognition of the interrelatedness of knowledge,... Women with this perspective considered <b>all knowledge</b> as constructed, and understood that knowledge is inherently mutable, subject to time, experience, and context. They saw knowledge as "a constant process of construction, deconstruction and reconstruction".<br /><br />Women in this position generally came to it after intense self-reflection. They were able to engage in what Belenky, Clinchy, Goldberger, and Tarule refer to as real talk: the ability to listen, share and cooperate while maintaining one's own voice undiminished. The position of constructed knowledge often involves enormous "empathetic potential": a capacity to feel connected with another person despite potentially enormous differences. <b>Many women in this position nonetheless experience loneliness and discouragement, largely due to difficulty in finding companionable and supportive partners.</b></i><br /><br />I am an "it's turtles all the way down" thinker myself. What always amuses me is the question of which turtle people choose as the place to plant their flag for a fight. Us fucking men hate these kinds of deep thinkers!<br /><br />On the other hand, I will be very interested to see when these women construct the first spaceship to reach another stellar system based on their alternative constructed knowledge. The whole term has the connotation of falsity to it, as if the efforts from Aristotle, through Newton, Einstein, Niels Bohr, and the whole boys' club constructed just one possible knowledge structure, one created to benefit men. <br /><br />My problem is that I have a liberal arts degree but studies math and physics in a non trivial way. So it is hard to get too carried away on the "turtles all the way down" way of thinking.tim in vermonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547980465313241972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-64272594658907807112016-05-14T05:54:24.786-05:002016-05-14T05:54:24.786-05:00Chuck, it was 25 years ago.

They want a nice steady job where they can make a contribution, get paid acceptably and go home at the end of the day and concentrate on their own lives, not on the business 24/7. <br /><br />The women who "run the place" are contributing their multitasking skills to make sure the business runs smoothly. They are not out there bringing in clients, customers, networking, forging relationships, etc., and that's not what they are needed for.
