No, quite right. I think... I think I could cope with her simplifying the queer politics issues if she said at some point 'there is more to this area than I can fit in to this lecture. Please read more on how queer politics and feminism intersect if it is an area you are interested in, and remember that I have not given you the full picture.' But I am not keen on her simplifying actual textual issues, because that's just dumb. The book is right there in front of us. We know Angellica Bianca wears a mask in one scene. Why babble about how she doesn't disguise herself, without analysing the place where she does?

I could deal with political burble if she disclaimered it, but actual English burble I cannot be doing with. And there's no excuse at all for the bordering-on-insulting language she used in her lecture.
