TIL about The Grievance Study Affair. Two professors changed the text of Mein Kampf replacing the word "Jews"with "the patriarchy". It got published in an academic journal.

The title of this also suggests they just published mein kampf with word substitution of patriarchy for jews. That isn't what happened. They emulated a section of mein kampf but they didn't just substitute two words:

The summary of the feminist version of Mein Kampf reads: “Feminism which foregrounds individual choice, responsibility, female agency, and strength can be countered by a feminism which unifies in solidarity around the victimhood of the most marginalized women in society.”

The paper was based on a rewriting of Chapter 12 of Volume I of Mein Kampf, in which Hitler lays out a multi-point plan why the Nazi Party was needed and what it required of its members.

The paper was accepted after being peer-reviewed by Affilia: Journal of Women and Social Work, which analyzes gender inequality.

(from Fox news - sorry best source I could quickly.)

Anyway, the title of this TIL is greatly misleading. They emulated a part of mein kampf and then wrote a feminist paper that got accepted in a journal with a 0.8 impact factor.
