It was specifically the idea that generalisations of women are bad and shouldn’t be used without overwhelming evidence, because they’re very harmful, that got me. There are exceptions. Robin expresses well what I think about this.
The hypocrisy lies in the lack of what I consider adequate qualification of this statement, and maybe the “fawning admiration” one too, in an article that requests qualification of “opposing” statements, i.e. ones that could be construed as anti-feminist. Phrasing things in an absolute, i.e. unqualified, fashion is just an extension of that argumentative style. An apologia for the PUA community or for some sort of “men’s rights” position would have to be written in a much softer manner than this article, in order to satisfy this article’s requests.
