Expert Solution

According to Haraway, social constructionists believe in the scientific method of ideological doctrine about philosophical epistemology. Science is based on facts and the knowledge game where each actor in the field tries to create objective power by forcing their ideologies. The feminist objectivity based on humanistic Marxism focuses on restructuring the historical notion of gender inequality or the formation of situated knowledge (Haraway, 2020). The discourse in human sciences coupled with the techniques in postmodernism aims to disintegrate existing knowledge to remain at the top of the power and knowledge game. However, the abstract masculinity concept is the main enemy of feminists. Feminist empiricism also utilizes the Marxian resources to push the notion of creating a better world by discovering and describing things that enhance their arguments and constructivism. Feminists tend to focus on the stakes of the scientific knowledge that strengthen the account of the world and offer a more prosperous and adequate radical history (Haraway, 2020).  Therefore, the feminist situated knowledge focuses on both physical and mental responsibility and limits basing their ideologies on philosophies of body and mind, and responsibility and distance (Haraway, 2020).  Objectivity is based on situated knowledge and not the separation of the object and subject, and hence, the feminists are held responsible for the knowledge and ideologies learned and created.
