I'd just chill out. Most of these problems fix themselves over time or require no attention.
Probably 85% of "womyn" or "feminists" don't turn into Andrea Dworkin - that kind of shit requires a serious mental illness.

She's probably going to be a soft feminist and the most annoying thing she comes up with is complaining that Obama doesn't hire a female justice for the supreme court or there's a glass ceiling or some shit. Most chicks who get into that get bored and sort of drift off to their next interest.

But studying (and liking) women's studies is the very top of feminism. What could she do that would be more feminist than that - strip naked and go march with Femen? It seems to me that your post, while completely valid, describes a vast majority of normal women today - soft feminism and spouting toxic attitudes, but no real sentiment or action. Studying women's studies, however, seems like a whole another level.

For example, most men who like martial arts are eventually going to get bored, stop following it and develop a beer gut due to not having spent a single day training. But this chick is the equivalent of a dude who has gotten into a famous dojo and is in love with it. She has already taken very serious steps forward (or downward, to be precise).
