Feminist Epistemology and Philosophy of Science

So As I read the article I find that the article deals with (1) Feminist standpoint theory (2) feminist postmodernism and (3) feminist post modernism and feminist empiricism. Which deals with the different conceptions of how gender situates knower also inform feminist criticisms of science and feminist science, defining the proper roles of social and political values in inquiry, evaluating ideas of objectivity and rationality, and reforming structures of epistemic authority. The article in detail layout the important and reasoning for feminist theory however outside critics have and in my opinion ALWAYS will feel that points these points made here corrupts the truth that has been taught to us all.

What does the author argue more specifically? How do you feel about it? How would you make feminist postmodernism an accessible concept for someone in your family to grasp?
