We had to read one of Fukuyama's books in one of my classes in grad school. I didn't agree with most of his assertions regarding women's place in society. He makes some well thought out arguments, but generally he's pretty conservative where women are concerned. He essentially presented the argument that society works better when women remain in the home and have children.
I wouldn't go so far as to call him a quack, because he's obviously an intelligent man and some of his ideas are valid (he supports the whole "it takes a village to raise a child" mindset). But he's definitely not a feminist, or a progressive.
