Does it reflect poorly on me that I think one of the most famous scholars in our Musicology department is often full of shit? (Honestly, often I think the whole of "feminist musicology" and much of today's "feminism" is also a load of tripe.) Is this bad? Am I ignorant, or perhaps a misogynist, or maybe just a bad Woman?

Ahaha. I think you have put entirely too much consideration into the social and philosophical implications of four-part writing... for much win. Down with the systematic oppression of the open root position major chord! Up with inversions and atonality!

Yeah... I might feel compelled to listen to Beethoven 9 all the way through because it is good music but that doesn't make it a violation. (I mean, it isn't rape if you want it, right?)
