anyway, with a little editing it wouldn't sound so bad. A critical analysis simply uses the language of whatever critical theory the author is applying towards the piece in question.
outside of the word "abhorrent" in the second paragraph, there really is no opinion expressed: it's simply a critical analysis and nothing more. She/he could do without that use, but whatever. You could apply Marxist analysis, Sublime (Burke), Platonic analysis, whatever you want to the same film and get a completely different interpretation.
It's language--that's all it is. Nothing out of the thesaurus at all. This is simply the tools of the system; in this case feminist critique. Anyone can write something like this, following rather simple rules, and not be a feminist.
I know there are a few people here in this computer geek forum that understand that, but it doesn't surprise me that most of you guys are reacting the way you are.
