The sad thing, I think, about post-feminist society is that although women are no longer regarded as second class, the very attitudes that passage decries are the ones being used to justify women's place - men are just people but a woman in many fields is noted because of being a woman. You get woman doctors, woman painters woman writers etc, and it seems often they are classified, spoken of, whatever, not with respect to their merits but with respect to their sex. It happens in the arts especially, I think.
