Grammar question

Word's spelling and grammar check is giving me the green squiggle of OOPs beneath "kneel" in this sentence: [he]shifted from a kneel to a crouch.

Word is satisifed by a change to "kneeling", but doesn't "kneeling" create parallel structure issues (kneeling is a verb, crouch (in this instance) is a noun)? Which is correct?

This just in: I am nothing special

One my favorite genres is post-apocalyptic survival. I rarely like much of what I read in it though, usually because of one of two reasons. Either the stories concentrate too much on the fighting factions aspect (not that I don't believe that would be an ongoing issue--dwindling suppies means fights) when I'm more interested in the how of surviving and the psychological stress of such an all-out upheaval, or the stories are anvilious in portraying the author's beliefs (and their beliefs tend to be My Religion Was Right All Along & Women Are Second Class Again Yay). Whenever I've voiced this complaint, I've been told that conflict is necessary and that my ideas about a non-warring Post Apocalyptic world would get boring.

So anyway, I was noodling around Wiki and discovered there is a sub-genre of post-apoc fiction called "cozy catastrophe" which allegedly is more about surviving and pyschological issues than typical PA fic.

So far, the majority of the works seem to suffer from My Religion Was Right All Along and Women Back In the Kitchen At Last, but at least, I know the genre is common enough to have a name which gives me hope that someday there will be stacks and stacks of Stories I Like.
