http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DogmaDogma is the official system of belief or doctrine held by a religion, or a particular group or organization. It serves as part of the primary basis of an ideology or belief system, and it cannot be changed or discarded without affecting the very system's paradigm, or the ideology itself.

I think some feminist thought has good ideas worth listening to. Gender feminism and feminism projected through the lens of most modern women does not.
Individual women have a lot to tell. Individual women are very much worth listening to.
Here's one interesting comment from the Pinker article:
Forwarded this article and got the answer, paraphrased, from a liberal 'it isn't that liberals disagree, it is the moral hazard of agreeing; there's nothing to stop the lower orders from returning to all of the horrors of the past.' And, there you have it. The Left has no faith in traditional religions to counteract the evil impulses of the past so a proxy religion becomes necessary even if not entirely believed by its adherents. And, then the sacraments of that religion come to control us all and to be used as a cludgel against all competitor religions.
