One of my takeaways is that some of the people aren’t intrinsically awful, they are just un-aware or un-knowing. That some think feminism means female supremacy, or that woke is some undefinable thing they don’t like. And that with some stomach churning effort some people can be reached. I applaud those willing to try and reach them.
Doesn’t help when some feminists think that as well. We have a famous and influential feminist here in Germany (Alice Schwarzer), who did a lot for feminism in 70s and 80s, but now is a reactionary who stands for TERF, censorship, mass surveillance, female supremacy, and "anyone who doesn’t like me is anti-feminist".
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
