This is the usual feminist/postfeminist response, and it's too whole-cloth to be productive as well as being anachronistic. The entire historical context was that way, and if you look at some of the things he tried to do with regard to the study of women, he was well ahead of it. If you are going to damn him for not being in synch with present-day gender equality standards, you will have to sink most of our intellectual heritage with him, to be fair.
