Or are you saying Ralphie should go out of his way to seek out only female experts to criticize a female?

How is that feminism?

That's faux feminism - special pleading and sexism in a shiny box labeled "Feminism!".


Were it Bill Clinton being criticized on "X situation", and someone said "you should talk to your own wife to get the correct perspective", no one would bat an eye - Bill is close to Hillary - Hillary is considered about as much an expert on "X situation" as Bill. Hence the suggestion.

Or hell, criticize it for being an argument-from-authority... but don't call it sexism because it's not.
