Oyěwùmí states that the woman question and binary gender are ideas that stem from the West, effectively eliminating their validity in analyzing gender relations within African society; she specifically speaks to the nonsexist and gender-neutral nature of Yoruba language and culture

She further states that that the woman question and gender as a binary are ideas that stem from Western civilization, effectively eliminating their validity in analyzing gender within African society.

- I further added two major points about her writing - that she challenged both the woman question and binary gender as ideas of Western civilization to comprehend gender in African society.

In her writing, Oyěwùmí critiques Western feminism for its homogeneous and ethnocentric structure, though those are the very values it seeks to overthrow in its focus on the global oppression of women imposed by the patriarchy.

- I noted Oyěwùmí's critique of Western feminism as homogeneous and ethnocentric.

Furthermore, academics for African studies such as Carole Boyce Davies have critiqued Oyěwùmí's perspective on gender in Africa as static, and that her argument about the lack of gender of Yoruba lacks sufficient historical research for Yoruba's societal stratification pre-colonialism.

I further added critiques of Oyěwùmí's writing from different academic sources.
