Just because a woman chooses to live her life without male influence other than what is absolutely necessary--doing business, for example--does not make her "whiny, bitter and shrill". Some women who make that choice are. Some are not.
I would argue that anyone who classifies every women who makes that choice as "whiny, bitter, and shrill" is taking an oppressive viewpoint of those women. I can see disagreeing with their choice, but calling them names because of it is overstepping the line.
