What you describe here should not be taken as
some kind of departure from "science," nor as
some point of view unique to feminists or women.
Phil Agre calls such participation Public Reason
and points out that an ostensible science or
rationality is up for regular abuse by
politicians and corporations. You can read his
extensive piece here:

Of especial pertinence to your comments, please
note the second to last section, titled "Identity
Politics: Public Reason Rejected in Response to
Trauma". Nevertheless, the whole should be read;
it will prove instructive to many of the points
being raised in this thread.

Sean.
