The attachment to a the framing of false consciousness in the cultural feminist movement is I think one of the things that misleads them that when we point to them working with misogynist homophobic evangelicals, they say "no I'm a feminist, not a conservative".
Except we're not (at least not directly, usually) accusing them of false consciousness and believing in misogyny or homophobia directly usually when we point it out. We're pointing out the v. obvious fact that they're working with the historic enemies of women's & gay liberation.
It might well take a degree of what they might call "false consciousness" for them to have rationalised that course of action (in the rest of the world, we'd just call that "being wrong" and understand that being wrong is something anyone can be quite often) but our interest is..
..not on their ideological purity as a main focus, so much as the very practical issue that on a sheer matter of praxis, however they've justified it intellectually really only being a side show, they've started working for the enemy.
This also matches up with lots of other arguments around misogyny/transphobia/racism/etc tbh whereby you point to someone's misogynist conduct (in that they have a habit of attacking women) and they demand proof that they believe women, trans people, poc are inferior.
In the case of a number of high profile transphobes including a former billionaire who suggested trans activism generally is part of a wave of unprecedented global misogyny akin to Trump (who meanwhile was extremely close to the evangelicals her radfem pals work alongside), ...
.. the thing is, we really do not care what you think so much as that people doing harm stop doing harm. This goes for people who convince themselves that adopting the mantle of trans activism legitimises misogyny as much as it does feminist transphobia as much as the fascists.
Q - what do you mean by "cultural feminism"? Seen you talk about this before but I dont know what it refers to
It's a term coined, or at least more thoroughly defined, by Radical Feminist historian Alice Echols, about the turn that radical feminism took towards venerating divine feminine essence, women's culture, a female identitarianism that radfem turned towardshttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_feminism …
