Melissa Click's Resume Is a F***ing Parody

Milo Yiannopolous wrote about this yesterday, and I linked that earlier today, but seriously, this is a joke.

Woody Allen used the line "I love being reduced to a cultural stereotype" as a joke in Annie Hall. For Melissa Click, it's a life motto.

Behold: The professors teaching your kids, and getting paid good money to do so.

1. "Graduate Certificate in Advanced Feminist Studies, University of Massachusetts-Amherst"

Wow, a certificate, you say? In "advanced" feminist studies, to boot?

The ground zero of Click’s activism. While officially a communications professor, she also made the effort to get an additional credential, not just in women’s studies, not just in feminist studies, but in advanced feminist studies. A quick online investigation suggests this exact program may only exist at UMass-Amherst.

Then of course come the "studies" in TV shows, movies, and pop-froth books which are ironically called "novels."

2. 'More drinkin', less thinkin', fewer teeth, and beer’: Representations of class in CMT’s My Big Redneck Wedding"

...

3. "Fifty Shades of postfeminism: Contextualizing readers’ reflections on the erotic romance series. In E. Levine (ed.) Feeling Feminine: Popular Culture for Women in the Early 21st Century."

Sadly, this book chapter has not yet been published, so the masses will have to wait to learn about Click’s critical post-feminist insights on 50 Shades of Grey.

4. "Saving food: Finding the politics of the everyday in food preservation. Environmental Communication, 4, 301-317”

Here, Click manages to spend 15 pages describing how the act of canning food can help destroy capitalism.

I can't quote it all, obviously, so you'll have to click over for the rest.

Incidentally?

This woman looks nothing at all like exactly what you'd expect her to look like, huh?
