Cynical Theories

This book does a quick roundup on postmodern philosophy and how thoughts presented by it slowly turned into the world we are all living now. Then deconstructs theories like queer theory, postcolonialism and disability studies.
Have you ever wondered why does the LGBT community is often portrayed as something associated with paedophilia?
How what happened that suddenly an abomination like fat studies came to existence?
Why feminism no longer seems as a movement promoting equality, just hate?
These topics are tackled in this book. From Gale Rubin advocating for the acceptance of paedophilia, and rejecting the idea of diagnosing disabilities because it discriminates disabled people, and other absurd things...
Highly recommended and a good book for a crazy times of today
And, for everyone saying that the roundup on postmodernism and philosophy is inaccurate and the French postmodernists actually deconstructed structures in search of the authenticity not just for the sake of it. Yes, thats true. But the book also mentions that it is focused on the modern, American interpretation of these ideas. What is important, is that - they morphed into these issues, and the world is not even close when it comes to solving them.
