pragmatism in my understanding is logical way of doing things or thinking about problems based on dealing with situations instead of on ideas and theories. Basically it is seem like in slag term "go with the flow". i believe it is a good way to solve things and able to move depend on situation however to be able to do that you have to have basic knowledge and idea. so you can't really think of knowledge as detached because you have to have experiences or ideas how to solve depend on situations. even if it is a new situations you never face before you will have basic fundamental elements  such as accessing the situation, available tools, identifying the problems.... and so on. so you can not say knowledge as detached. feminist epistemology is knowledge base on how women point of view compare and different from the male point of view. even though man and women are different in physical built and there might be some different views in they way women and men see or think, the knowledge is universal. Even if the gender different between the knowledge can be share and experience together. Aside from physically impossible experiences such as child birth, most experiences can be share and taught to both men and women, even to the emotional level. we can have empathy for both gender. so the knowledge is not really separate because of gender differences.
