Quite an engrossing article, but I'm not too keen on the author's background.

Even if that may be the case - I do believe that the author has written something worth reading. Even if you disagree with the conclusions in the article, having exposure to her perspective is ultimately a positive in that it at least gets us thinking.

Why? Did they do something wrong?

Worse, British

The answer depends on how attached you are to Woke dogma. She is after all:

* Feminist, in the classical sense

* Conservative, and worst a defender of tradition

* Spoke at ARC (Alliance for Responsible Citizenship, Jordan Peterson's response to the WEF)

* Author of the Case Against the Sexual Revolution

* Writes for the Daily Mail

>* Feminist, in the classical sense

What's the current sense?

Based on her other associations, I’m gonna wager the “trans women aren’t women” kind of feminist, the “feminism is for white women” kind of feminist, the “pull the ladder up after me” kind of feminist.

Make no mistake that early feminists shouldn’t all be painted with a broad brush, many of them did amazing things to further women’s rights, but some really sucked and someone those were the face of the movement.

I commented elsewhere that a quote from the article sounded a lot like something Jordan Budgefuddel Peterson would say! Now things are clicking.

She's a prudish, reactionary scold. Maybe the GP's problem is related.

Woof she’s a lot! Also that led me down reading about ARC and it’s wild to think that one of their organizing principles is the pursuit of truth while having Peterson as an organizer.

Feminists tend to be polarizing to some people on here for whatever reason.

Browsing her post titles and guests she seems to be self-consciously anti-feminist regardless of which words she uses to describe herself.

Feminism is a wide umbrella of ideologies, many that contradict with each other. A TERF may call a sex-positive liberal feminist anti-feminist and vice versa.
