But campus feminism cannot help itself: it has to put a feminist spin on every academic field possible. 
So you have an academic—a real person employed by a real person paid for with real tax dollars—making arguments along these lines:

Stark identifies “classical Newtonian physics” as one of the guiding sciences at the heights of Western imperialism, “which identifies separated beings and absolute differences between particles and waves, space and time.”

These structures of classification, which separate humans, include gender (such as male or female) and national borders, according to Stark.

Stark goes on to argue that “the arbitrary exceptionalism or fetishizing understanding of (human) bodies as segmented integrities … is part of the apparatus that enables oppression.

“This is biopolitical.”...
