I never asserted that Gender Studies or Feminism were worthless, they certainly aren't. I do however have little patience for writers who delight in unnecessarily padding out their language with redundant flourishes to the detriment of their message.

My original comment was facetious, but it's telling from Judith's quote that she hadn't considered (or at least anticipated) her audience when writing. Her other comments about wanting to challenge readers as a form of self-betterment are frankly insulting, not to mention completely at odds with her other comment about the obligation to speak to people where they are (with which I entirely agree).
