I'll revive this thread for the sake of two comments I read on her page which had me rolling:

and another:

Feminist diatribes, this one being no exception, are so often blatantly self-loathing and hypocritical. You call out others on their discriminatory practices through blanket statements, stereotypes, vacuous emotional pleas and ad hominem attacks. You make a futile attempt to portray yourself as taking the moral high ground, while never delving beyond a cursory look at your own privilege, or how this privilege affords you the opportunity to write what you do. The term "privilege" is a tool of the left, used almost exclusively to berate white men--the same color men who crafted the Western Civilization you cherish--and the same who now tolerate your drivel. Circumstantial advantages are contextual, and only an idiot would "check" such advantages. You are angry because you perceive in yourself a lack of such advantage and wish to possess it for yourself. The ironic thing is that you devalue this privilege while directly benefiting from it.
