| 0:00.0 | The route of feminism's attack on civilization is its desire to advance female power, |
| 0:05.0 | that is the power of women as a group without regards to the nature of the individuals of which it is made up. |
| 0:12.0 | This is the basis for all feminist interpretations of the world. |
| 0:16.3 | Men and women as groups are analysed in terms of the power one has over the other. A good real-world example of this in practice is the Duluth model |
