Re: these terms are "divisive and humiliating,"
Can't say I disagree much with what you said, except the bit about "patriarchy". Yes, it's a rather grating term, and often has societal connotations about the person saying it that they might not wish to impart upon themselves, but I think its fair to allow feminists to keep using it until the point where the world is predominantly run by rich old white men. By derogating its use, you are derogating the overall struggle against inequality, and I'm pretty sure you don't mean to do so. Do you?
