Virginie Despentes did not invent the concept, but it has the merit of making a demo from his experience and what it is. The set is not only sensible but intelligible and touching.
We can argue that Camilla Paglia and others have addressed the subject of decades before it but their writings are perhaps less widely distributed in France that this book Virginie Despentes which is an excellent introduction and digestion. The important thing is that this "theory" makes its way outside of academic networks in direct language.
The 3-page bibliography concerning who guided / inspired show although she attributes nothing this "theory" and invited instead to continue the investigations.
