Are feminists really angry, unreasoning, man-haters who argue only from an emotional perspective as some claim? Does the incessant repetition of this trope make anti-feminism and misogyny a routine element in everyday speech?
Posted by Andrew on This comment was made by one of the good guys and so it sends the message that it's true when it's not. Altough I must give it its dues, the creativity in imagining this world is terrific and it has a guy playing a guitar flamethrower on a truck loaded to the brim with amplifiers. Alice Jardine. Men worldwide suffer from more overall violence then women do, so by your logic I guess we should just ignore women and get to helping men, eh?

How do skilled feminist writers deploy affect to advance feminist ideas? In Feminism and Affect at the Scene of Argument , Barbara Tomlinson addresses these questions, providing a lucid examination of the role of affect in feminist and antifeminist academic arguments. Using case studies from controversies in socio-legal studies, musicology, and science studies, among other disciplines, Tomlinson examines the rhetorics of anger, contempt, betrayal, intensification, and ridicule.
She employs a set of critical tools—feminist "socio-forensic" discursive analysis—that will prove indispensible for understanding and countering tropes like that of the angry feminist. Moreover, these tools will advance feminism, which, she argues, is generated in and by arguments with allies and antagonists. In an era of debates that generate more heat than light, Feminism and Affect at the Scene of Argument offers a timely provocation for transforming the terms of reading and writing in scholarship and civic life.
