I would be surprised if the author of this article actually read Feminism and Sex Extinction. The items that were chosen to be highlighted are totally frivolous and paint her to be a looney. The book is actually very scientific and argues that sex differences were essential to the evolution of the species, which, given that the book was written not long after Darwin, was an exceptionally advanced argument which we know today to be absolutely true.
The frivolity of the misstatements and tabloid-like mischarcterizations read like an attack intended to undermine her otherwise very scientific work, as does the label "eugenicist" which was thought of in her time as a way to alleviate human suffering rather than as a racist exercise of supremacy that it became later.
