I really don't care. When I saw that post in the feminist LJ, I saw it as someone raising a question and showing both sides. Then I read the response and was like, "Um... what?"

Not necessarily this specific case, but the larger concept that it's okay to be appreciative of the gesture while still being critical of the underlying structures and implications.
