Is her position basically that it is womens acceptance of their own oppression under men being the cause of their inequality.
That in following the structure of society (at the time) ie-in being expected to be attractive to men with emphasis on practical skills such as needle craft in place of formal education.
In arguing against Rousseaus claim that these character traits are natural she has identified what we now call the social construct of gender.
She knows that the application of this construct onto society is harmful to women and men, is is stunting, regressive and infuriating.

She is so angry at her fellow women-angry that they cannot see that.
As I am today.
