"I know instead of backing up my arguments with data and sh**t, I will just constantly quote Adorno. He was a great linguistic stylist. Also truth to power, etc"

HP, has done a lot to discredit her field as a serious academic discipline.

No, I tended to run away from that sort of thing. Of course the periods of history and literature that I was always interested in generally allowed me to stay clear of (i.e., avoid) people like her.

What's wrong with her? I vaguely heard she's an important gender scholar, but I don't know about the details of her writing.

Is this the thread where we discuss transvestitism using way too many words?

Cannot possibly be necessary in order for what legitimate points she makes to be made.

     Butler is consistently and unnecessarily verbose and opaque. She is something of a poster child for academics being incapable of addressing ideas to other people.
