My name is Quiet Riot Girl, and I endorse this message too.
My take on the issue from a slightly different angle:

“The remaining monolithic concept of men/male(ness) is so abstract that it allows feminism, and indeed reactionary theories of sex and gender, to mould it to suit the parameters of their arguments and theories…” (click)
I’ve written about the reification of masculinity before (here and here, for example); it’s my single biggest problem with third-wave feminism, which otherwise provides the theoretical basis for much of my thinking. It’s a major theme of my dissertation.
Irigaray is often unapologetically guilty of this: it’s not without irony that a theorist dedicated to recovering the repressed specificities of “woman” should be so content to let “man” remain a totalizing, unexamined signifier.
