Everywhere I go I proudly tell folks who want to know who I am and what I\u00a0do that I am a writer, a feminist theorist, a cultural critic. I tell them I write\u00a0about movies and popular culture, analyzing the message in the medium.\u00a0Most people find this exciting and want to know more. everyone goes to\u00a0movies, watches television, glances through magazines, and everyone has\u00a0thoughts about the messages they receive, about the images they look at. It is \u00a0easy for the diverse public I encounter to understand what I do as a cultural\u00a0critic, to understand my passion for writing (lots of folks want to write, and\u00a0do). But feminist theory – that\u2019s the place where the questions stop. Instead I\u00a0tend to hear all about the evil of feminism and the bad feminists: how \u201cthey\u201d \u00a0hate men; how \u201cthey\u201d want to go against nature and god; how \u201cthey\u201d are all \u00a0lesbians; how \u201cthey\u201d are taking all the jobs and making the world hard for \u00a0white men, who do not stand a chance.<\/p>\n
