Yesterday I began reading one of my feminist art history books. It isn't a large book but it is written in Scholarese. Every sentence is taking me eons to pick apart and understand, when I can. It isn't that the concepts themselves are so difficult, it's that the way she choses to phrase them seems intended to obfuscate their meaning. Personally I think this is a weapon that the ultra-educated use to weed out those of us who lack what they consider to be the proper level of indoctrination. Oh well, I want to learn what they have to teach and so I guess I will have to play their game.
