I thought it was a bit all over the place.
I don't think academic feminism has been great, either, OTOH I don't feel like she quite put her finger on the problem, given that she seems to think that academia should be there in some sense to serve grass-roots feminism. Great, challenge our professors, and they should be open to that, but as a student it's also your job to try and really understand the different texts and viewpoints put in front of you, on their own terms.
Activism isn't what academia is for. It's not there to serve feminism, or anti-racism, or transactivism, or to push any particular social agenda, no matter how well founded. Bindle, though a journalist, seems pretty typical in a lot of ways of the type of activist-(academic) who have caused so many problems in universities.
A determination to look at everything through the lens of patriarchy is just not scholarship, it's deeply reductive and that approach more generally is the origin of a heck of a lot of academic bullshit. If she's being really accurate about her time studying film, in a rage about sexism and sexual exploitation of women in films, to the point that she wouldn't give any time to literary perspectives, that's a travesty, not a problem with the university. And I'm pretty darn conservative about how I think sexual content should be used in film, it's not like I'm blasé about how it can be abused.
