Yeah, I don't begrudge her her personal grievances, but I do think it's not intellectually accurate to ascribe certain things she does to feminism. This whole straw feminism phenomenon has got to stop, why is it okay in gender issues and not other civil rights issues?
I can also see parents in general putting careers too far above their children's needs, men and women both, but in the case of women, you know, it's not like men are expected to enable their wives to pursue careers by shouldering an equal burden of the home life, and because of things like that her attribution of the problem to feminism just plays out really problematically.
