Note on that last one
It's only some branches (sadly the more popular ones) of academic feminism that I despise. The ones that claim that phallocentric power can only be remedied by lesbianism, the essentialist ones that claim that women are more naturally kind and loving and generous (I believe in a feminist belief that states that women are just as capable of stupidity, aggression and crime as men - it's what happens when you're raised by a single mother and a grandmother) or that literary criticism is going to lead ANYONE to "liberation" as Bell Hooks would like to convince herself (and yeah I'm spelling it in the Eurocentric way of capitalizing the names - I guess that means that I just hate wymyn)
ANd any branch of feminism that tries to say that women are victims of big bad men who need to be rescued by Gloria Steinem.

However I do find Camille Paglia, Susie Bright and Rene Denfeld to be very compelling feminist writers and thinkers. Sadly the Susan Faludis, Grubers and Helene Cixous (who is really writing prose poetry without any respect for any form of logic or sense whatsoever and getting away with it because she's really an "artist" - a stupid artist that thinks that bad poetry can substitute for common sense) dominate.

I really don't like the latter.

Although I must say I like them better than that great feminist filmmaking pioneer Leni Reifenstahl - I might admire Leni Reifenstahl for innovating the form of filmmaking, and normally I would love her brand of feminism which is an action-based way of grabbing hold of a male-dominated field and doing it better than the men.

However she was making Nazi propaganda movies, and I must say that I don't like her as a person.

ALthough I would probably read her before I read anyone else that I mentioned.
