Grievance studies affair
Main article: Grievance studies affair

In October 2018, it was revealed that the journal had accepted for publication a hoax article entitled "Our Struggle Is My Struggle: Solidarity Feminism as an Intersectional Reply to Neoliberal and Choice Feminism." It was later reported that the manuscript included plagiarized sections from Chapter 12 of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf (My Struggle), in which Hitler describes why the Nazi Party is needed and what it requires of its members. The authors replaced Hitler's references to "National Socialism" with "feminism" and "Jews" with "privilege". The submission of the paper was an attempt to show the lack of rigor in some fields of academia, so-called "grievance studies", by demonstrating that absurdities and morally fashionable political ideas could get published as legitimate academic research in the field.[2]
