For background on this issue, a site with secondary resources is

Further, if anyone could suggest references on the issue of science

greatly appreciate it.
My apologies for the nongermane post. Since a portion of the debate
centers on "Feminist Standpoint Epistemologies" with some grounding in a
Foucaultian analysis, I hope this is of some interest.
