She wrote an op-ed that says some specific things. It seems to me that if you respect her views you ought to take those specific things seriously, instead of taking them as hyperbole that she doesn't really mean.

You don't get how men talking to other men about how they should be feminists will have some effect on the world? You don't get that one of us in particular needs to be told that he's the one being ridiculous? (Hint, it's the one who's got his undergarments in a knot over the crazy feminist)

I can disagree with both of you about different things. Just because someone else says something wrong doesn't mean your virtue-signaling suddenly has some usefulness.
