The author may present her case inaptly, but she comes off as very dislikable.<p>So she wrote an article about Lolita and got a comment:
&quot;To read Lolita and ‘identify’ with one of the characters is to entirely misunderstand Nabokov&quot;<p>I haven&#x27;t read Lolita, don&#x27;t have any literary criticism training and don&#x27;t have the slightest idea whether this assertion is general consensus, debatable or total lunacy.<p>But it is certainly civil. And there is no indication at all that it was posted because the author is a woman.<p>Still, the comment is supposed to be a prime example of &quot;mansplaining&quot;.<p>I think the author just can&#x27;t cope with criticism. And since her peer group seems to be radical feminists, what better way to discredit it than by asserting it is against feminism.<p>Have I missed anything else in this posting? There was lots and lots of ranting, but this comment thing seemed to be the only thing of substance.
