Mr. Cleveland: 

Perhaps I didn't choose my words as carefully as I should have.  Let me explain my views as best I can:

I was referring to the recent explosion in postmodern theory.  Colonialist studies, feminist and gendered studies, queer theory, and other such schools of thought that try to deal with the oppression that has permeated America and other nations throughout their history are quite popular nowadays.  Some, such as feminism, have endured initial waves in which many of their theorists supported positions that basically advocated a "reversing" of the dominant ideology (i.e., a matriarchy rather than a patriarchy).  It's sad to see such beautiful and potentially healing ideologies undergo stages in which they advocate such a reversal.  (Perhaps "make it reverse oppression" should have read "advocate").  Of course, It's important to note that such theoretical schools (like feminism again) recover from such growing pains as their theories are refined, added to, and enter into dialogue with other theories.

Is that clearer?
