Well, let's not forget that this is only one way of looking at the text in
question.

Are we to arbitrarily value one critical approach over another?

In reponse to your question, anyway, perhaps men make the best

Woman, not female.  The split of the (biological) sex from the (learned)
gender is essential to any well informed piece of criticism.

At least I think so.

As always, YMMV.
