Imagine if when The Handmaid's Tale came out, everyone called Margaret Atwood a sexist, said she wanted to treat women as breeding vessels, threatened to kill her, etc. That's the actual state of literary criticism in the twenty twentieshttps://www.vox.com/the-highlight/22543858/isabel-fall-attack-helicopter …

Pretty rich that Emily "I Feel Unsafe" Vanderwerff wrote this. She only cares here because she sees herself in the victim.

Yep. I kinda appreciate people retroactively taking a stand against this shit, but you'll notice there's zero self-reflection in here, no attempt to ask if maybe this is the inevitable end point of the means of cultural analysis they have mandated.

In that case, I don't think they're actually taking a stand against it, but rather the opposite. They're demonstrating their loyalty to the project by trying to shore up its decaying foundation.

Well one thing you'll notice over the course of the exposition is that VDW makes the story sound substantially worse than it is.

Oh yeah I guarantee you I've received significantly more vitriolic backlash than this writer did.

I meant the short story, not the backlash
