Flynn--Composing as a Woman

This reading seemed to contradict itself.  Flynn seems to want to talk about how composition has been marginalized like females.  She also states that there is a difference between female and male writers, but I feel like that just undercuts what she's trying to do as a feminist. Shouldn't she have tried to talk about how males and females compose equally?  And she made a couple generalizations about how woman compose that I don't agree applies to all females.  There was also a statement that males have no need for relations in their writing and I don't think that applies to all males either.
