I must be confused or misinterpreted you.

"And who are these "feminist activist" strawmen(straw-women?) you have set up?"

I took that to mean (generally) that the idea that there is such a thing as a legitimate feminist activist is nonsense - that in reality any reference to one is as part of a straw man argument. Not what you were saying?

What I meant was that he was characterizing all feminist activists as wanting or doing X (X being unsupported, anyways), which seems to me to be an unfair generalization and an easy to knock down, stereotypical villain.

I should have clarified in the original post, apologies.
