Well, the primary issue was that the entire exercise began by a process which, by its nature, over-represented crusaders who had an axe to grind. The voice of dissent (In the Female privilege post) was accused of being a fake, even as other women chimed in in the thread to say that it was the first "LW Women" post they identified with at all.

It wasn't about women. If it was about women, they wouldn't have felt so omitted and under or un-represented. It was about feminism.
