Apart from saying gender when I'm fairly sure she means sex, it's an article I generally agree with.

It is critical of ideas of individual empowerment /responsibility lies with individual women and calls for structural change.

And calls on men to stop refusing to acknowledge structural barriers to women in the medical field.

agreed. Feminism is for women, something that has to be pointed out repeatedly

It's the title of a book by Bell Hooks, which is presumably why it was chosen for the title of the article.
