brainwashing techniques and feminism or 'mens studies'

I made this post at reddit about a year ago.  I still think it holds.  It draws a parallel between the brainwashing techniques used in cults and those used by abusive feminists: 

It began with a Discovery Health article regarding wartime indoctrination of POWs in the 1950s. Curious mormon drew parallels between those techniques and Mormon indoctrination.  I'm not aggressively pro- or anti-mormon, I simply read that area from time to time.  (and religion, in general, is a side topic that I won't explore much on this blog.)

What I did see were the parallels between brainwashing and feminism:

First, in cults:

• Assault on identity: You are not who you think you are.
• Guilt: You are bad.
• Self-betrayal: Agree with me that you are bad.
• Breaking point: Who am I, where am I and what am I supposed to do?
• Leniency: I can help you.
• Compulsion to confession: You can help yourself.
• Channeling of guilt: This is why you're in pain.
• Releasing of guilt: It's not me; it's my beliefs.
• Progress and harmony: If you want, you can choose good.
• Final confession and rebirth: I choose good.

and what we see in some 'mens studies' programs:

• Assault on identity: You are not as fully human as a women (or not as valuable to society)
• Guilt: You are bad. Violence is bad. sexual thoughts are bad. Testosterone is bad. patriarchy is bad.
• Self-betrayal: Agree with feminism that you are bad.
• Breaking point: Who am I, where am I and what am I supposed to do? How can I stop oppressing people and benefitting from Patriarchy?
• Leniency: Feminism can help you.
• Compulsion to confession: You can help yourself. Confess your evil male compulsions.
• Channeling of guilt: This is why you're in pain: you still think like a Patriarch.
• Releasing of guilt: It's not me; it's Patriarchy.
• Progress and harmony: If you want, you can reject Patriarchy.
• Final confession and rebirth: I choose to reject Patriarchy.
