The post is great, and thoroughly trounces this would-be dismissal.
On a related topic, Tekanji rebuts the "pettiness" criticism about analyzing sexism in popular culture. As analyzing popular culture is one of my favorite nerdy hobbies, I'm glad to see this articulate defense.

Note: I'll keep sharing noteworthy links I find, but I've also added a list of all the non-LJ blogs that I follow to my info page. Check it out for good reading material.
