Just out of curiosity, and please don't take this as implied advocacy, what standard of measurement leads us to think that these ideas were "self-defeating," or, as another writer said, the cause for setbacks in the feminist movement? How might this get determined? Did more rapes or denials of employment occur? I find the claims that these ideas were self-defeating to be "grandiose". Couldn't they be applied to anyone for anything, for any reason, without much need for explanation? People said the ideas of MLK Jr. were self-defeating, too. Prove or disprove.
