Bell Hooks noted that elitist, jargony language discouraged popular reading of feminist texts.

Bell Hooks noted that even though women's studies programs were doing some good work in educating the masses on women's rights and feminist ideals, more work could be done when it came to feminist texts.

Ms. Hooks believed that these texts were usually full of unnecessarily complicated text that could be described as jargon and was elitist in tone as it praised women past the point of equality and instead placed them on a pedestal.

Ms. Hooks believed that this was a big reason for feminist texts not making for very popular reading.
