Yeah, but why is she doing the re-read? Cannoli Send a noteboard - 04/08/2013 05:19:49 PM

View original postShe's all attitide and little brains. So I wouldn't be bothered too much about her opinionated rants.

My question is why her. Your response only supports the validity of my question. I know she's a bit of a nincompoop, which is why I've got a problem with her being the one to do this project. I don't care what her views are, I care that she is so obsessively, fanatically and (in light of her absolute rejection of any sort of rigorist policies or philosophies) hypocritically involved in them that it interferes with her analysis. For example, in the chapter where Thom and Elayne have an involved discussion on the central theme of the series, she has two paragraphs of the commentary devoted to the actual conversation and 8 paragraphs about the dearth of serious explanations for the use of feminine pronouns for ships IN THE REAL WORLD, and going apeshit over jokes she perceives as sexist. And a snidely dismissive reference to anyone who is going to dare to disagree with her in the comments. She attributes not being able to find an explanation through Google to people being "scared of addressing anti-feminist traditions". That quote alone contains at least three logical fallacies or unsupported assumptions.
