As radical feminists continue to engage in acts of strategic resistance designed to engender awareness regarding the deleterious harms engendered by androcentric thought and praxis, many individuals become weary of ongoing academic discourse regarding the role that female objectification and self-objectification play in contributing to the prevalence, proliferation, and perniciousness of patriarchy.
