The commenter brought up Critical Race Theory (or at least 'Critial Theory') I was responding to that. You're making my point for me: Every portrayal of society reinforces the norms in that society. So it's not 'scholarship' (or even relevant) to point it out the possibilities. In fact, to avoid talking about the more material issues, and to go right into indirect fuzzy issues of feminism is 'anti scholarship'. Not only that - it's probably false - as I pointed out, 'bad feminists' lament Barbies and more anatomically correct dolls at the same time, literally for opposite reasons. It's speculative ideological rubbish. If a 'gender theory' researcher actually wants to do some research and put some sound logic together, that's find, but otherwise it's just politics.
