"Hypocrisy of Modern Day Feminism" Audience Analysis


The article “Hypocrisy of Modern Day Feminism” was published on the website The American Patriot, which is geared toward people with conservative viewpoints. The article is especially written for the white man who is feeling persecuted by things such as affirmative action. The author uses these feelings to draw support form his audience. The audience is expected to be angry about the effects feminism is having on America. However, they do not necessarily have to be very educated on the subject. He explains the many case studies so that the reader does not need any prior knowledge of the events. The author is not attempting to convince people of his viewpoint, rather he is trying to rile up his supporters. The intended audience is likely to strongly agree with the author’s arguments.

  1. I'm curious as to how the article ties to affirmative action, I think that this point should be expanded on. Also, again, the conservative viewpoints claim should be expanded on. I just think you should use quotations from the article to support your ideas.

  2. What is the effect of the article on those who do not agree with his viewpoint? Are they angered by it, or do they simply ignore it?

  3. How do you think being a caucasian male would influence his ideas about feminism? Since he mentioned affirmative action, do you think that limits his audience?
