We agree this is bad, but we can't change because you won't understand the literary establishment if we don't continue to make you study it" excuse is circular logic. 7 Tips For Fighting Sexism In Hollywood, Courtesy Of Rose McGowan​. Also, Kameron Hurley's collection of Feminist essays is out! The Geek Feminist Revolution.
