Considering that she only talks about herself, I would say that she is not telling others who to date. But it is quite interesting that you talk about "young women" and provide an example of why conservative men get angry about her explaining her preferences: You don't want your women doing critical thinking or questioning things. Her experiences give your women food for thought.
But the fact is that men tell women how to live all the time. They tell us how we should look, act, and how we should remain silent (you just did that to Tessa XD) and don't consider even for a second that we might not be interested in them or their opinions. I've lost count of how many men have told me things about me that I should change so they "might like me or like me better" while I was thinking "why should I do that? I don't like you". But just nod and ignore them to avoid a pointless discussion or them becoming aggressive.
Many young women aren't interested in men like you, but they have learnt that it is easier to just nod politely and move on. Or swipe left, or ghost you. That is why they don't date you, not because old women told them to, but because they never liked you to begin with. I know because I used to be young and have lived through that. XD
