I evidently took the article in a different light than you. It appeared to me to be a veiled attack on modern women's attitudes.

I'm with you. He's right on with his ridicule of the Diana cult and femminist infallability (love the sarcasm in that term). But I would expand his notion of decision paralysis and Mattering beyond "cosmic" importance to a much shallower level: decisions Matter because of what somebody might think. In this is the ultimate failure of Oprahphilic feminism. Appearances, and other people's opinions, still matter. Throwing off these chains is not accomplished by hating men, but by growing up.
