[AGTRT-BF54] A change in the definition of gender must be firmly justified with ICE
Jan Bergstra & Laurens BuijsAmsterdam Gender Theory Research Team Structure of this blog 1. Introduction In blog AGTRT-BF38, we outlined ICE (incremental concept engineering) for gender, as a methodology that can advance the discussion around gender. In doing so, we named a series of seven consecutive notions of formal gender. The idea here is that…

[AGTRT-BF53] Kirk-Gianinni’s work has a binary premise, and that seems to be a drawback
Jan Bergstra & Laurens BuijsAmsterdam Gender Theory Research Team We have already devoted two blogs to recent work by Kirk-Gianinni (see AGTRT-BF49 and AGTRT-BF51). This is reasonable because here is a next step that clearly builds on earlier work by Bettcher, Jenkins, Barnes and Dembroff taking into account the criticisms of it by Byrne and…

[AGTRT-BF52] Arnout Jaspers lashes out at woke, but needs to phrase his criticism more carefully
Jan Bergstra & Laurens BuijsAmsterdam Gender Theory Research Team On Feb. 24, physicist and journalist Arnout Jaspers posted a critical piece about “woke” on Wynia’s Week.. Read Arnout Jaspers’ piece on Wynia’s Week:On an MRI scan you can see a clear difference between women’s and men’s brains, but that may not be true according to…

[AGTRT-BF51] Cameron Domenico Kirk-Gianinni gives an alternative to ICE: decremental concept engineering
Jan Bergstra & Laurens BuijsAmsterdam Gender Theory Research Team In AGTRT-BF49, we discussed recent work by Kirk-Gianinni. In it, concept engineering is carried out to arrive at a new notion of gender called “inclusive gender.” We first briefly summarize Kirk-Gianinni’s reasoning here. Read more about “Inclusive Gender” by Kirk-Gianinni: Cameron Domenico Kirk-Giannini: another step in…

[AGTRT-BF50] Not everyone will be keen on the ICE methodology in discussions about gender
Jan Bergstra & Laurens BuijsAmsterdam Gender Theory Research Team Using incremental concept engineering (ICE), we broadly mapped how the concept gender changed over time (see AGTRT-BF38). ICE forces participants to relate to the arguments given in history in discussions about gender. It is a structured way to monitor the consistency of the totality of arguments…

[AGTRT-BF49] Cameron Domenico Kirk-Giannini: another step in the concept engineering of gender
Jan Bergstra & Laurens BuijsAmsterdam Gender Theory Research Team Structure of this blog 1. Introduction: Kirk-Giannini in the light of FGT In March 2023, we published our first report (AGTRT-1) on formal gender theory (FGT), outlining how FGT can contribute to gender theory, and specifically the “gender inclusion problem.” This is the question of whether…
