Career
Doyle founded the blog Tiger Beatdown in 2008 and wrote for it beginning that year; the blog ended in 2013.[6][7][8] Doyle's 2010 critique of Liz Lemon on Tiger Beatdown was oft-cited.[9] Alyssa Rosenberg, writing for ThinkProgress in 2011, criticized Doyle's critique that year of the sexual violence in Game of Thrones.[10]
Doyle is a feminist author;[11][12][13][14] their first book, titled Trainwreck: The Women We Love to Hate, Mock, and Fear... and Why (2016),[15][16][7] dealt with the ways in which society, and especially the media, have built up (and spotlighted) and then torn down women who defied social norms throughout history,[6][17][18] particularly by classifying them as "crazy" and "trainwrecks".[17] Their second book, Dead Blondes and Bad Mothers: Monstrosity, Patriarchy, and the Fear of Female Power, about patriarchy, monsters, and the horror of being female, was released in August 2019, and deals with the roles women are often pushed into by society, and the ways women are seen as monsters.[19][20][21][22]
In 2020, Doyle published Apocalypse 1999, a teenage horror comedy.[23]
Doyle contributed the piece "The Pathology of Donald Trump" to the 2017 anthology Nasty Women: Feminism, Resistance, and Revolution in Trump's America, edited by Samhita Mukhopadhyay and Kate Harding, and the piece “Nowhere Left to Go: Misogyny and Belief on the Left“ to the 2020 anthology Believe Me: How Trusting Women Can Change the World, edited by Jessica Valenti and Jaclyn Friedman, as well as contributing to Rookie - Yearbook One (2012), Rookie - Yearbook Two (2014), and The Book of Jezebel: An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Lady Things (2013).[24][25][26] Doyle also edited and wrote the introduction for Marilyn Monroe: The Last Interview: and Other Conversations (2020).[27][28]
