Yes. I see this particularly with gender. We could be arguing with much evidence that men & women differ on average psychologically in many ways but that we are hugely overlapping populations with much individual variation so this tells us nothing about any individual. 1/manyhttps://twitter.com/ConceptualJames/status/1052933899565846530 …

If we fail to do this and instead argue that men & women are psychologically & cognitively identical and seek to punish those who say differently because we think that reality is a social construct perpetuated in language and some arguments must be banned & others promoted...

We can only lose credibility with reasonable & observant people who know damn well that men & women have differences on average. This leaves them open to accepting right-wing narratives which do acknowledge this but make too much of them, neglect individual variation & moralise.

Far-right and far-left narratives on gender are two sides of the same coin: Both are defined by an unwillingness to accept the uniqueness of the individual over the the group
