For a vastly different take on the same subject… (no comment)
Interesting how she characterizes it throughout her piece as a very violent gender war, but at the end claims it to be a class war at then end.
I think that's the crux of many of the problematic perspectives of contemporary feminism, that what are class differences are jammed into the square box of gender war.
It's frankly a little alarming. College should be about learning diverse methods of evaluating a position, and critical thinking, not blaming everything on X root cause. (Any given problem is quite likely to have several variables affecting it.)
You realise that the theory of patriarchy has been extensively discussed and refined throughout the years. More 'critical thinking' has gone into it than you could even dream of. I am willing to wager that you've never even picked up a book about it, let alone read one. So, explain to us your theories of 'critical thinking'...
Oooh, it's one of those tumblr-style feminists. You always know you're in for a psychotic, incoherent rant when they start dropping the f-bomb repeatedly. (not to mention blaming everything from car engine troubles to a stubbed toe on the nebulous yet infamous "Patriarchy"...)
Oh wait, there aren’t any laws banning women from entering fire brigades and ambulance services or to take up apprenticeships in car workshops? Then it is obviously again the patriarchy’s fault to affect women in such a way that they don’t join those areas anyways.
It means she's serious! and angry! Take her seriously! Now!
