Uh, she's a superlatively sophisticated cultural analyst.



She's not analyzing. She's advocating a very specific point of view. She's an advocate by both training and inclination. Like any lawyer making a case, her point of view is set before she puts the first words on paper/screen. And that's fine. She presents her case in an amusing way.

Conversely, an analyst looks at a thing with as little bias as possible to reach a conclusion.
