It's funny, I have almost exactly the opposite take. I find what she's saying is important, or at least a valuable personal story, but the faux-academic style makes the essay hard to follow. Some paragraphs are barely intelligible.
- alabastervlog 1y agoThe various personal anecdotes are so lacking in detail that I read some of them three times and still wasn't sure exactly what had happened. They accomplish the opposite of grounding and illustrating the more abstract points: they make it more confusing.
- whatevertrevor 1y agoI wouldn't really call this academic style, at least none of the research I read uses this sort of tone, let alone personal language (completely fine in an essay of course). My main issue is how circuitous and rant-y it comes off as. Honestly the rhetoric style of argumentation and no qualifiers or even attempts to define terms makes it a really hard read.
