I had a problem - figure out how to make money off the stock market. Luckily I was part of a culture - a privileged mysoginist racist evil culture - which recognizes that there is an objective reality that can be approximated by concrete models and empirical corrections. So I did some bayesian stats and came up with a moneymaking stat arb strategy.
That's about as reasonable an argument as the one contained in the OP. It occasionally brushes against reality (e.g. feminist critiques of analytic philosophy and objectivity [1]) but really just attributes intellectual success to an unrelated ideology.
That said, I'm upvoting this in the hopes that someone can steelman her argument, which could be interesting. The aforementioned steelman should hopefully also reject my argument.
