John stuart mill. His essay, the subjection of women, is pretty good.

I pegged you as more of a Gloria Steinem

Well she's right about academic feminism at least.

Yeah, but that’s stupid. Nobody cares about them. That’s careerism. These poor women in academia have to talk this silly language that nobody can understand in order to be accepted, they think. If I read the word “problematize” one more time, I’m going to vomit. If I hear people talking about “feminist praxis”–I mean, it’s practice, say practice. But I recognize the fact that we have this ridiculous system of tenure, that the whole thrust of academia is one that values education, in my opinion, in inverse ratio to its usefulness–and what you write in inverse relationship to its understandability. So I think the answer to it is to look with some compassion at the situation in which the women who are writing this gobbledygook find themselves and to say, “How can we solve this?”
