It's true that there's a fair amount of bullshit in humanities. However, thinking in terms of fuzzy categories like "grievance studies" is lossy and imprecise. It's not really a term which carves reality at the joints, so much as a general purpose tribal rallying cry for STEM people against a hated and feared outgroup. This kind of interdisciplinary tribal politics isn't constructive. Rounding off everyone in "grievance studies" to the same stereotype is the fastest way to irrational hatred and unnecessary conflict.
Also, this article is pretty good:
