The tragic thing about gender (and related) studies is that beyond the political extremists on both sides who've latched onto various aspects of it, it addresses things that absolutely need to be addressed. LHoD does a great job with this. It is thoughtful, fascinating, and not at all dogmatic. It makes me so sad to see all the people on the left screeching about wrongthink and identity bullshit at the slightest provocation, and all the (willfully obtuse) people on the right hiding behind their dictionaries as if the fact that gender and sex have historically meant the same thing in some contexts somehow invalidates this whole domain of thought. Absolute idiocy, all of it. I'd say people have forgotten how to think critically but I don't have data to support the hypothesis that they ever had that ability.
