The problem with such a picture of french feminist theories and/or
deconstruction it that it remains on a level which assumes that scholars
(including scholars who are activists) do not think beyond trying to say
something like "See men? Us, too!" -- which is absurd. I would venture to
hope that many who have remained in academia through all the years of the
doctoral degree, hiring processes, etc. have done so out of a commitment to
the materials with which they work. I.e., I rather think it is literature or
philosophy which drives a literary critic or philosopher, and not the desire
to partake in jeuvenile contests with "male tenured professors". What
garbage, really. Insulting garbage, to boot.
