Is being redundant bad????

After reading Kit's post about Jean Kilbourne's essay "Two Way a Woman Can Get Hurt," she made me question if her essay was too redundant?  Kit claims that she thinks Kilbourne talks way too much about the same thing and that it would have been much more effective if she would have just said it in a more concise way.  However, I feel this was the most effective way Kilbourne could get her point across.  She repeated so much, so her ideas would be ingrained in your mind.  Sure, at some points it sounded like a complete rant but this is how she is.  She is a very one-minded being.  However, she is open to other opinions.

Last semester, in my Mass Media class we watched a video of her talking about the same topic.  She is actually extremely hilarious.  I feel that just reading this piece gave many people in the class a negative view of her because she seems very one-minded and repeats herself too much.  But to me I think she is just being herself.  She wants to prove a point and she feels this is the best way to do it.  I believe she is right and now going into the advertising, public relations field myself I feel I must look at this situation and consider how I can change it.  Especially since I am a woman myself.  I do not want women to be perceived as a "thing" in the media for the rest of my life (like women are viewed now) ... this is why I am going to do something to change it.
