I love that rhetorical trick - "it would be absurd, but I'm going to say it anyway."
It might be worth mentioning that the Daily Mail is an extremely conservative publication, probably the most right-wing of any British paper. Attacking the Spice Girls and "girl power" is just the latest in a string of "feminism is bad for women" articles they've been publishing for as long as I can remember.
