I didn't say "There's something wrong with Faludi" or "I don't like Faludi."
However, when a "psychology student" cites Faludi, I am forced to question
the depth of her studies. Faludi is fine to cite in a lay discussion, but
is hardly an authoritative source in psychological circles. Books such as
"Backlash" or "The Courage To Heal" may well be mentioned in professional
journals, but it is the works of Loftus, Gilligan and other professionals
upon which the articles are built. No professional is going to maintain
credibility by using lay publications as the foundation of, or primarily
defense of, ostensibly professional postulations.
