man-hating literature is great to study but as a female, I don't actually feel it's necessary to follow. It's great to be aware of the social difference, but to make it into something out of proportion is unnecessary.

Why is this an "epic fail"? What do you mean, "yet she's exempt from it"? Why do you think she's putting other women down? I see it as a woman looking at a certain way of life and refusing to follow that way.
I've seen and experienced the idea that women belong in the kitchen, the idea that women belong to men. This idea flourishes today. Studying it isn't enough. Studying it and examining one's own life, analyzing one's own experiences, is necessary. What's the point of realizing that something is wrong and then letting it continue? Realizing that one suffers from sexism, and deciding to fight against sexism, isn't blowing something out of proportion.
Also, why do you think this is man-hating literature? I read and reread the passage to see if I'd missed something, but not once did I see an insult towards men. All I saw was the acknowledgment that men have oppressed women.
