The author points out that there is an over saturation of male writings in the class room as opposed to female writings. I call BS. Frankenstein? Harry Potter? The Hunger Games? All written by women all very popular among teens in school. Maybe not Frankenstein.

I found the article very dry and did not agree with most of it. Throughout the reading I wanted to kill myself with a plastic butter knife. The author, Jonathan Alexander, should just turn in his man card now because not even most women are that feministic. Yes, I bet it’s great that over the past couple decades women and men have begun composing works with a feminist background, but in the end, doe it even matter? A story is a story and an article is an article. It shouldn’t matter how they are written and who wrote them. All that shouldn’t even be a secondary concern. It should be a concern at all. I will never understand the inner workings of a feminist’s mind, nor do I want to. This is just awful. I feel like I am developing a slight tumor just by trying to get into Jonathan’s mind set. I can’t.
