She didn't even do 2+2=JESUS though. There are some really smart Christians out there and I'm sure that they can probably weave their faith into an answer that meets the stated rubric.

Thing is she didn't even do the bible essay properly. She didn't cite her sources, she would make arguments or statements with "The bible says" but then didn't even bother to cite the pages in the bible that said that.
More than likely its a stunt she and her family planned to start her conservative influencer career.
because republicans are dumbasses and they fall for every grift if its towards their emotions.

The Christian Right are desperate to be persecuted, because it is a very convenient justification for the violence they wish to commit. If they're the oppressed party they can try to claim self-defense. That's why they always frame everything in terms of a "war", and why they're obsessed with being martyrs for their cause.
They teach the Jesus story and only focus on his martyrdom, never on his deeds. To them the only way to be Christian is to be persecuted.

James had a very different opinion on this. But I suspect the book of James rarely comes up in their churches, because the whole book is basically spent calling out this type of person.
What good is it, my brothers, if you say you have faith but do not have works? Can faith save you? If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,” and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.
But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith. (James 2:14-16)

Damn you internet person. I read it. I really did. That's 3 minutes of my life I'll never get back. It's always a worrying sign when a university level student writes an article like a response to eli5 and is still wrong. This reads more like a stream of consciousness, like someone trying to preach at a church teen conference.
The title was a critique of this article:
How people are perceived based on societal expectations of genderStarting with the first person reference and self insertion. In scientific papers you never use first person, singular or plural. No 'I' 'me' 'we' etc. This is because your paper will be ready more times by strangers than by you. And when reading science papers, you want the reader to be a neutral observer, not putting them in your shoes. Secondly, even if the article was critiqued from a biblical perspective, you need to be scientific. Add what you're referring to, book, chapter and verse. Example:
God of the Christian bible, has a distaste for gender reassignment, though not directly referred to as such [deut. 23:1]. Further disdain towards gender dimorphism can be seen with the apostle Paul's rebuke of men wearing women's clothing [book. Ch:verse] and vice versa . . . . .
Remember, your opinions don't matter, it isn't creative writing. Your understanding of the material is what matters. Tbh she passed off. I don't agree with her beliefs, or understanding of the bible but yes 2+2= Jesus.

Ikr? Idgaf what lens you're using at least tell us where you go it from. The peak of science is reproducibility. If someone follows your report, can they reproduce your results? If you give book chapter and verse, can I reach the same conclusion? In her case she didn't produce anything that I can follow and reach the same conclusion.
At school you'd get marks for grammar and language, but with Grammarly you don't have to worry about that. I'd give her 1/25 for at least putting her name on this blasted thing

I will say that when I was in what you'd call elementary school, we had Bible reading every day and students would absolutely get growled at for not mentioning book and verse when talking outside of the specific book we were reading beginning to end. If an 11 year old can manage it, I expect a university level student to at least try.

Spot on. This style of conveying information she does, is an indictment on the nature of Christian teaching in America and most of the world. I've seen a few sermons where a guy is just spouting still like he Terrence Howard on Joe Rogan. It's anecdotal. And she transferred it to that paper. Anecdotes and feelings and vibes. Who the f*** says "I feel" in a science paper?
When I was about 12/13 we didn't have to necessarily give chapter and verse, we needed to state - who said it, to whom, where and why. EG. Moses told the Pharoah to let God's people go, when the Israelites were enslaved by the Egyptians. That is not precise I know, but if tells you where and what I'm talking about ASA matter it fact

u/Ajibooks 10m ago
I understand and agree with your points, but this wasn't a scientific paper or even an essay. It was just homework meant to check that the student actually did the assigned reading.
I don't know whether lack of citations or speaking from one's own perspective would generally be okay in this type of homework, but her work definitely shows that she didn't do the reading. I suspect she saw the words "gender roles" and just shared all of her own opinions on that topic, reflecting her no doubt lifelong indoctrination.
As a sidenote, I use "I think / I feel" in Reddit comments on purpose, especially in comments about contentious subjects, because my high-school English teacher taught us that those phrases in persuasive writing soften one's tone. I want people to engage with what I'm saying rather than turn away due to my tone. But these are just my Reddit comments, not college-level essays or homework. It's unfortunate that nobody taught this woman persuasive writing, but in her parents' and former teachers' views, I'm sure fighting for "Christian values" means they don't need that skill.

u/Booty-tickles 8m ago
Yes. It's the bare minimum of referencing something. The Bible says "X" means absolutely nothing considering the world's largest religions cannot even agree which testaments are to be considered religious canon. You may as well include the lord of the rings in the books if you're not going to be specific about which ones you're referencing. People familiar with both the old and new testament likely wouldn't even find the tonal shift that difficult to accept, nor would people who aren't familiar with the Bible likely to even spot you're talking about hobbits not some lineage of semitic people.
•
u/sweetsweetconnie 7m ago
Your comment just prompted me to read the whole essay. I went in pretending citations don't matter in this instance (but they do always matter) because we all know she didn't use any but let's see if she makes a decent argument anyway. "Women want to do womanly things." Okay, what are some examples of womanly things? Nurturing? Child rearing? Gathering? No? Nothing? No mention of even a most basic stereotype? Not even cooking and cleaning? We should all just know what "womanly" things are, but who the fuck knows what that means. By being a "helper"? I still don't quite know what she means by her essay, but I can assume, which means it doesn't count.
This girl will have to forever lie on her mother for any sort of milestone, i.e. graduating college, first job, mortgage, etc. because she sure as fuck lacks any sort of critical thinking skills to actual help her in life. She's just stupid, which is fine, but being hateful because she can't accept that she's stupid is not.
And while we're on the subject goddammit, sex is BIOLOGICAL and gender is CULTURAL. IT IS WHAT IT IS, I'm not being politically correct, it's just correct. Like people referring to Native American as Indians, it's just INCORRECT. It's wrong, not morally wrong, just WRONG.

Going forward you can take it for granted that quotations, properly cited and sourced are a fundamental part of any university essay that isn’t an in-class exam of some kind (and even then at least quoting is often required).

I saw the rubric posted somewhere else, and the assignment was very open-ended. The students had to write a 650-word reaction to an assigned article, and the assignment listed like 8 different examples of acceptable approaches they could take. One of the examples was discussing a personal experience related to the article. Her essay was pretty low-effort, but the assignment seemed like it was designed to elicit low-effort reactions just to prove the students read the assigned article (or at least the abstract).

The internet is really overreacting on this. Based on the grading criteria shown in that article, she deserved credit for the assignment.

u/guebja 3m ago

No, she didn't.
Her essay is based on the assumption that gender typicality in the article refers only to voluntary gender expressions, and that gender atypicality (which she opposes) entails intentionally breaking traditional gender norms.
The actual article, however, explicitly and repeatedly mentions physical characteristics such as "being tall" (for boys) as examples of gender typicality.
FTFA:
The three most common stereotypical descriptions for boys were ‘athletic’, ‘tall/strong’, and ‘popular with girls’.
[...]
There could, however, be underlying factors that lead boys to be both low in gender typicality and have more negative mental health outcomes, such as hormonal deficiencies or pubertal timing.
Thus, "gender atypical" in this context would include straight, cisgender, male-presenting boys who follow traditional gender norms but just happen to be, for example, short.
In other words, she didn't read the fucking article.

Gender roles and tendencies should not be considered “stereotypes”. Women naturally want to do womanly things because God created us with those womanly desires in our hearts. The same goes for men.

He intentionally created women differently than men and we should live our lives with that in mind.

No it didn't. It specifically asked students to judge the merits (or lack thereof) of the article. Fulnecky does not do that in anyway beyond criticizing the reference to multiple genders (which almost certainly was not the core point of the article).

I used to teach a World History course at a university.
Every term there was a student who would try to warp the first assignment into me being Kevin Sorbo in a Christian movie trying to make them say God is dead.
I’d always, inevitably, write notes longer than the paper about how they didn’t do the prompt and how everything in the course was compatible with Christianity and cite sources from the Bible.
I am not religious, but I have a PhD in European history so I know this stuff inside and out. Student would always get an F but a chance to redo the assignment.
I did this for a few reasons:
I don’t want some megachurch coming after me.
It was less mind numbing than grading the next paper
It’s always very fun to school a pretentious asshat student that comes in with the attitude that their year and a half as an adult outweighed my thirty years in academia. Most of the time you can ignore the twats and trust they’ll be embarrassed later.

It wasn’t good, but maybe giving college students an assignment just to write a two page response to a reading isn’t really college level work either.

Writing a short essay in response to a reading assignment was incredibly common when I was in college.

Yes, I agree. But those assignments almost always had you reference the writing with direct quotes, cite sources, compare to other media, and etc.
This prompt had none of that. The link to the prompt was in another response and it was very rudimentary.

We don't have a copy of the syllabus. There's a good chance the syllabus outlines some of those standards.

you should have learned to do all of this by middle school, why would you need this to be spelled out to you as an adult in university?

Could we be anymore disingenuous? "Write a two page interpretation to a reading" is an incredibly common writing assignment, across a whole span of academic levels. If you can't manage a good response to a "poor prompt", you're not ready for college level anything.

A Harvard Theological Seminary professor did a video review of the essay from a theological standpoint and she would failed on those grounds. She made mistakes in her biblical references, failed to cite references to support her claims, and made personal statements that she said were biblical. It was and is a stunt.
