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.
Well, according to Feminism 101, everything in society that is bad is because of the Patriarchy. So even if it is a class war, men are still to blame for it. I...don't agree with this, but they make the same jump in "logic" over and over again, so it's fairly predictable.
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.)
Yeah, they should do more of that "critical thinking" where you deliberately mischaracterise an entire ideology and dismiss concepts out of hand.
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'...
