knee-jerk militant feminism

If you read the comments by the Columbia Journalism Review in response to harsh, near-unanimous criticism leveled against Katie Couric after her interview with John Edward on his wife's returning cancer, you know that knee-jerk militant feminism is alive and kicking....

Any criticism of whatever morally-questionable or dispicable acts by a high-powered woman is considered to be a product of sexism according to the Columbia Journalism Review who said, "Why is Couric taking so much heat? Are people threatened by a woman?..." Because women in power or in so-called untraditional occupation is so sacrosanct, untouchable, and inviolable, you are NOT supposed to criticize her, or hold her to normal standard, but need to treat her with kid glove・
