This is the weak spot of the left. Its drive to be 'inclusive' and 'nonjudgemental' lead it to being unwilling to draw boundaries, and ergo to excuse a mind-spinning array of human rights abuses. And it's *always* considered acceptable to throw women under the bus. Especially for women. Many of those raging the loudest against 'patriarchy' are the ones who unconsciously support it the most.

Or those people who spin off half a page of bigotries: "racist, misogynist, homophobic, transphobic, antisemitic, blah blah blah" instead of just "bigot," which covers them all.

As for nonjudgmental, that is morally crippling. To be unable to make a value judgment means going through life without ever learning a thing.

The better I get to know this "left" the more I see of what you say.

I don't think I've ever seen "A trans man is a man."

And feminism has cast aside all political goals in favor of nebulous BS about attitudes, more imagined than real. See my post below about Greer.

I did see it, but I have never read any of her books so I have no opinion on her.
