Eesh. Somebody's been hitting the post-modernist theory texts a bit too hard.
Mind you, a lot of the reaction, both here and on Deadspin, kind of inadvertently makes her point. Nothing she wrote was incoherent or crazy. It all made perfect sense, if you buy the underlying theories. I don't buy lots of it, but she's not actually wrong about the objectification of women and institutional misogyny. She's just working the buzzwords way too hard.

My thoughts too. not atypical for an undergrad studying visual arts. Sometimes it takes a while before all that new knowledge and vocabulary settles in and you don't feel the need to trot it out constantly. I disagree with her implied theory on how karma works, but that's neither here nor there.

The karma nonsense is crap, ESPECIALLY from a learned perspective.

Some may say she used more buzzwords than one "could shake a stick at."
However, I think the artist would feel that the colloquialism was misogynistic as the stick has been commonly used as a phallic symbol, and the act of shaking said stick would be seen as a threatening action towards those with internal genitalia.
