"In its present form -- as a secular cult that should call itself the Sisters of Perpetual Grievance -- feminism is far more a part of the problem than part of the solution. It clings to women’s wrongs and turns women’s rights into narcissistic entitlement. It is far too easily prone to bashing men while painting women as insultingly helpless and downplaying their human capacity for cruelty."
seems to me uncomfortably close to what Rush Limbaugh et. al say about racism and the current American civil rights movement. Essentially a) racism is dead and we all live in a glorious "post racial society" and b) current civil rights activism is basically a scam to provide civil rights leaders with a cause and a cushy job. That sure, Martin Luther King (and maybe even Malcolm X) had a point, but TODAY'S activists are essentially just a lot of whiners, clinging to their "oppression." Besides, what about black on black crime? 
And I wonder what the writer's example of a woman's "narcissistic entitlement" might be? Reproducive choice? Police departments that actually investigate rape, rather than toss rape kits unopened into warehouses? As if there still aren't plenty of issues that feminists are confronting that have nothing to do with narcissism.
Sorry, but I'll believe the patriarchy is dead when it becomes impossible for any legislature in this nation to get away with passing a "rape insurance" law. Or mandate vaginal probes to anyone seeking an abortion. Just to cite two of the more obvious examples of what to me is a culture of male domination over women's bodies that seems very much alive.
Has progress been made? Sure. But just as with racism (and class, and GLBT rights) we still have a hell of a long way to go before we start popping champaigne corks and dancing on the system's grave.
