Unlike Pat Robertson theology, there are hundreds of colleges teaching women's studies. And every student who majors in women's studies at every university graduates sounding pretty much the same. All of them are proficient at saying things like "patriarchy" while being wholly unable to reconcile the concept with laws like the violence against women act.

The most accomplished, accredited pros at feminist rhetoric sound like the caricatures of whom you speak, while the amateurs and nonprofessionals have a much more nuanced view. This raises the question; is it unfair to paint feminism with the brush chosen by their professionals?
