Ben Stein's Nonsense Sounds Familiar
I just realized Ben Stein's recent nonsense sounds familiar because it closely resembles the thesis of Words of Power: A Feminist Reading of the History of Logic by Andrea Nye (earlier discussed here). It is exactly what it sounds like.
It especially sounds familiar because Ms. Nye was able to find one or two logicians who could be called Nazis in the course of her research. On the other hand, I suspect that Alan Turing did more to defeat Nazis than Gottlob Frege did to support them.
