Third wave and higher feminism is a great evil on society so I hope he did.
In what way?

Third-wave feminism rejects the earlier feminism that tried to get at "essential" femininity in favor of acknowledging that women are all different and should be able to choose what they want out of life. I can see how this would be considered evil to people like bcspace. Once you acknowledge that half the population of the earth may not fit into a single "role," anarchy and atheism are sure to follow.

So, is it individuality that is evil? Satan invented it, or something?

It seems pretty obvious that the church thrives on conformity and group identity. Excessive individualism--that which involves any unapproved self-expression--is to be shunned as a great evil.

Exactly, and as I mentioned before this theme (unity is what God wants rather than diversity) is one of Oaks's personal favorites.

I've been told by some Mormons that as we approach the divine we will begin to think and act more and more alike until we become perfect and we are all the same. bcspace and Droopy seem to believe that in heaven everyone will be a conservative with exactly the same political and economic beliefs.
Being in a place where everyone is the same sounds very boring. Sounds like hell.
