Are you though? Or is it just an increasingly small circle of people smacking each other on the back for using buzzwords and then falling out about your slight ideological differences, because that’s what identity politics has done to the left wing. Rather than look at the overcharging problems the ideological left could focus on and deliver genuine social change instead you’ve huddled together under the guise of empowerment letting your most batshit adherents steer the ship. So much so that even most women can’t hold a cogent position on issues like trans-rights. You exchanged thinking for backslapping and you’re still celebrating this as a mammoth victory - meanwhile women and minority groups continue to suffer under right wing governments because you’ve made the left pretty much unelectable.

There’s no misogyny here - you’ve mistaken dissent for dislike. I am as committed to equality between the sexes and races as you are - I’m just not prepared to buy into stupid retrograde concepts to get there. So, return to your articles about ‘useless men’ and see if that delivers the genuine change you want in the world or if it continues to turn off half the worlds population because it’s too simplistic a lens to examine a complicated problem.

Buzzwords are not a buzzsaw. You cannot cut yourself out of idiot fog.
