Meanings

1. (colloquial, derogatory) Representing wrong or harmful views or beliefs that are generally accepted in academia.
   • A woman who chooses to be a philosopher creating in her own right has little tolerance for the droning of academented professors who re-search and re-gurgitate the babble of dead men endlessly. 1995, Ilene Rosoff, The WomanSource Catalog & Review:
   • The patriarchal device of con-fusion involves endless blurring of soulless images, signifying nothing. In the foreground, barbie dolls and the Great Goddess are the same. "Feminists" are lauded in the media and academented publications for accepting and promoting pornography. 1998, Mary Daly, Quintessence:
   • […] You are killing me with your academented stupidity." To her, the postmodern emphasis on cultural difference and the sociocultural construction of the self obscure the universal sameness and evil of patriarchy. 1997, Gary J.
