I think Arielle Schlessinger was just an early stage grad student (a clue in that she doesn't use the word "normative" correctly), so she shouldn't be blamed too much for publicly disseminating pretentious nonsense. But the more senior person posting below her, Cathy Davidson, should have known better. In any case same criticism of both: they are damaging, not enhancing, women's opportunities in technical fields by seeking to associate absurd cultural theory with the advancement of women's roles in technical subjects. The sorts of women who will succeed in technical subjects will laugh/dispair at them, just like the sorts of men who will succeed.
