Which specific parts of these statements do you object to? And why? Do you believe they're fundamentally misinformed about everything? Or are there specific details you take issue with?
So much is being said in the two sentences you quoted it's hard for me to infer what you're objecting to.

The Enlightenment produced the modern scientific revolution, which arguably led to the largest increase in quality of life since man walked the earth. It also produced a focus on reason and empiricism, which ultimately led to modern civil rights movements and subsequent legislation. When the author attempts to discredit these people's contributions by attacking their character via unfounded accusations of misogyny, it significantly harms their credibility.
