Do you mean that not all of them have accomplished something of merit in the sense that their contributions to feminism were unimportant? Or do you mean that some of them detracted from the discussion?

It's not that they haven't accomplished anything in feminist discourse or that they weren't influential.

Rather, they contributed to the derailing of feminism into the contemporary postmodern feminism that dominates the public sphere. The one which gets uptight over private jokes between people at tech conferences.
