The only reason to keep harping on what she wrote is to argue either that the statement itself was misandrist, or to do the tired game of "see? Bad woman, and that means feminism is wrong". If it's the latter (and I am glad to see AVfM at least does not do this) it's sad. If it's the former, it's unreasonable.

Is the woman a feminist? Maybe, but it's irrelevant. To say "she said hateful things, therefore feminism is hateful" is like saying "priests molest children, therefore Catholicism promotes molestation". It ignores both the confounding variables (this is a lot more about class than gender) and that it's not inconceivable that a man would say something similar about a spoiled girl on vacation in (say) Aruba.

We'd never make jokes about that, right?
