4. I think you might like this book if you don't have it already

Not about architecture but a hilarious expose of the most pretentious and antiscientific bits of academia. It's NOT specific to 'feminist intellectuals' - but it's generally common on the further shores of post-modernism! I was reminded of the book here, because in it there's a quote from either Lacan or one of his followers (I haven't got the book with me) proposing that the square root of -1 is a phallic symbol.
