the force-feeding of Western attitudes and beliefs on the rest of the world is a mistake.

That assertion is itself, surely, low-hanging fruit, easily taken down and passed around without much understanding of the tree. Errors in anthropology, cultural blindness in observations, and the innate bias of assumptions when trying to be scientific about a set one is simultaneously a member of, are factors as much at play in any other culture as they are in the West. I applaud anyone's efforts to expand such a field of observation, and include data to which others have been blind as in the somewhat feminist description given above.

But I don't see that these flaws are any more dramatic than those found in the "anthropology" of Lao-Tze, Levi-Strausse, Wittgenstein, or Charlotte Bronte.
