Oaks is a coward, as are all the apostles except maybe Packer. Oaks will say this in a stake conference, but you won't see the church PR people going on NBC or CNN spouting this stuff.

Third wave and higher feminism is a great evil on society so I hope he did.
Absolutely. If this third wave together with higher feminism are allowed to continue, it paves the way for both transcendental feminism and electro-gravitational feminism. Just think about women causing huge waves on the Great Salt Lake, not to mention the possiblity of women parting the waters.
