Thanks a lot *hugs back* I feel a bit better now I've talked about it with some people.
I did send her an email telling her I felt dismissed, and I addressed the points that were and contradictory. She said secondary or created worlds were not a convention of fantasy. And she referred me onto a book to prove her point. But later, when she listed what she believed to be fantasy conventions, she said European inspired world set in the past were one of them. She flat out said she disagreed their was any social content in fantasy, but also said that wasn't important. Considering her contradictory and dismissive responses, I frankly find that extremely hard to believe. She also only talked about one text I explored in my essay. I wrote about three, and she only ever talked about the one she read as a teenager. She may not have read the others, so she might not know as much as about them. However, she didn't even talk about how I built my argument through those texts.
I did thoroughly go through her comments and addressed them in my email. She sent me a response, and didn't specifically address any of my points. However, she did agree to send it on to someone else. I should be over it by now. But the way she dismissed all my work, and acted really condescending about it, was pretty devastating.
I know this sounds arrogant, but I have a degree too. I have a BA. And while she has more qualifications than me, I still think I have some idea of what I'm talking about.
