Linney: Kind of like how Broadsheet feminists hate large corporations until a female CEO comes along. They hate the military until a female general comes along. They hate religion until a female bishop comes along.
LeCastor: Wait, you mean how feminists call sexist entities sexist... until they're not sexist anymore?
Linney: Nope. Talkin' 'bout how feminists applaud women for engaging in behavior that they normally deride when it comes from men.
Ah, ok, so it's not about calling entities sexist, it's about "hating" corporations, the military, and the church.
I'm not a spokesperson for the monolithic feminist establishment, but I daresay that I am an admitted and proud corporate whore. Just ask tom payne.
As for the military and religion, I'm still not so into them, even though some of them have women. That said, I'm happy to know that women who want to (for reasons unintelligible to me) go into those pursuits can do so without being discriminated against simply on the basis of gender.
I think you're confusing some feminists' individual preferences for themselves (don't want to be a soldier or clergy) with the greater goals for society that we hope to achieve (open doors for women in general to hitherto male-dominated professions, also known as equal opportunity).
