My usage of "academuc feminist," here, to Alchemia, is deliberately broad, probably much broader than I'd use the term in other contexts, and deliberately keeps open the possibility that one can be a bad academic feminist (as may be the case with HJ more recently). How deeply feminist theory is integrated into Will's work is extremely suspect, but he does seem to be using the tools in some conscious fashion.

If nothing else, it's probably a good thing to give an interlocutor the benefit of the doubt.
