Mamet seems to be taking on political correctness, which is at its worst in academia. The professor finds himself in a Kafkaesque fix when trying to help a naive female student. She is later used as a tool by a radical feminist group, to attack the professor, the administration, and patriarchal society, blah, blah, blah. I have heard that the stage production was very good, but the movie sucks. The characters are intensely irritating. I realize that this was deliberate, but it was overdone to the point of ruining the show.
