I disagree. Kermode is very unusual in that he is a prominent openly feminist journalist. I also think this is a self-defeating point in that what you are saying could maybe just highlight that the vast majority of critics and fiim journalists are male!
More to the point,
analysing a film and
coming to someone's rescue! are two completely separate things.
