First, you stated that the book I cited was not peer reviewed.
I said “Peer reviewed study”. That phrase not only contains “peer reviewed” but also study. In general high quality studies get published in papers. A good scientific textbook refers to a bunch of peer reviewed studies but it usually isn’t the primary source.
In this case it might be that some gender study folks have different idea of how to do science. After all they want to do science in a feminist framework. That might result in a study really being published in a book.
I think most people on LW do have alarm bells that ring if a gender study folks say they don’t like the way science is done traditionally and they rather want to follow a feminist framework.
I pointed out a number of books, including my book and Daniel Kahneman’s book, that are based on primary sources.
A book that is based on primary sources is a secondary source, it’s not itself a primary source. A much better secondary source than a click-bait mainstream media article but still a secondary source.
