Article here. Excerpt:

'I see challenges as something to be overcome - if being a woman makes the road more difficult, then I will be at an advantage over the others from the lessons I learn in my journey. Rather than changing society by appealing to emotions alone, women should be able to discredit previously held notions of their roles and capabilities through their actions. Truth be told however, there are biological differences that predispose women to certain roles over others. Not all women will follow such patterns of course, and their unique presence will provide them with unique opportunities. They are the exception however, that will not and should not create the rule.

The feminist theory both tries to discredit gender theories based on biology and then tries to argue that "masculine" actions unfairly affect women based on their biologically predisposed roles (motherhood to caretaker). It seems absurd to complain about being classified by certain characteristics because they are untrue and then argue to be treated differently because you can't help those same characteristics that you just argued were untrue.'

Feminist theory is the biggest crock of shit ever to be accepted as fact. Women have achieved nothing legitimate, women's achievements can not be fully judge because men and boys have been restricted and disadvantaged in order to boost the "achievements" of women. The playing field is stack against men/boys. Governments have bent over backwards to engineer women's and girl's success. If women/girls stopped receiving help most of them would be exposed for the what they really are. I suppose one achievement of feminist theory is that they have convinced women they are some highly intelligent, whiter than whiter, morally superior entity that can do no wrong and are entitled or deserve to be sucessful and have whatever they want.
