rfriel, that’s about the sum of it, yes. One perspective within a tradition shouldn’t be selected out to represent the entire tradition. Gender essentialist feminism isn’t anathema by any means but it cannot alone claim the label “feminist thought”; there are other perspectives and arguments which need to be considered. This could have been accomplished prior to the post going live with the mere addition of a single sentence saying “it is true, though, that not all feminists agree with this outlook, so maybe things aren’t as clearcut as they seem” and a link. The cherry picking of one feminist POV leads directly to the limited “main possibilities” the problems with which you explained well in an earlier comment.
